NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 40, No. 76, April 18, 2014 issue of the Florida Administrative Register.

The following section of the Notice should be corrected to read:

 

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that this will have an adverse impact on small business, but will not 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 been prepared by the agency.

 

A statement of estimated regulatory costs has been prepared for proposed Rule 59A-5.003, F.A.C., and is available from the person listed below. The following is a summary of the SERC:

For proposed rule subsection 59A-5.003(7), F.A.C., license fees are increased by the Consumer Price Index pursuant to Section 408.805(2), F.S. The biennial licensure fee will increase by $179.82 per ambulatory surgical center. Based on the number of currently licensed ambulatory surgical centers the total impact over 5 years will be $197,442.36.

 

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: A SERC has been prepared by the Agency for rule 59A-5.003. For rules where no SERC was prepared, a checklist was prepared to determine the necessity for a SERC.  Based on this information at the time of the analysis and pursuant to s. 120.541, F.S., the rules will not require legislative ratification.

 

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.
