RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

64B16-29.0041Record Maintenance Systems for Animal Shelter Permits

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendments to require consistent periods of record retention. Four years is compatible with the biennial inspection period by the Department of Health. Consistent periods of record retention increase efficiency.

SUMMARY: Period of time for record retention will be amended.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the Agency.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: During discussion of the economic impact of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board, with input from the public, determined that there would not be an adverse effect on small business to maintain the records for 4 years, and that there would not be a regulatory cost of $200,000 in the aggregate to any entity, because any additional economic impact that additional storage might have, would be more than offset by savings in employee time managing numerous kinds of records with different retention times.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
