64B-7.001: Pain Management Clinic Registration Requirements

NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 36 No. 38, September 24, 2010 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

The FSU Center for Economic Forecasting and Analysis (Center) prepared an economic analysis and revised the SERC in compliance with Chapter 2010-279, Laws of Florida. JAPC suggested corrections and, on February 14, 2011, the Center issued the revised SERC.

The SERC economic analysis shows that the proposed rule is not likely to increase regulatory costs, including transactional costs, or to adversely impact economic growth, job creation, investment, business competitiveness, productivity, or innovation in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after rule implementation. It estimates the number of pain-management clinics subject to the rule as well as the owners, affiliated persons, and physicians likely to be affected. The rule will not affect costs to the agency, other governmental entities, nor will it affect state or local revenues. Aside from the fee to register new clinics, there are no transactional costs. The rule affects small businesses, but not small counties or cities. Alternatives to the text were discussed and considered at the rule hearing held by the department.

The person to be contacted regarding the above notice is: Anthony Jusevitch, Executive Director, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin C06, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3253.
