NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 38 No. 4, January 27, 2012 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The agency has determined that this rule will have an impact on small business and will increase regulatory costs. The agency prepared a SERC showing that the rules will impact approximately 1,050 tattoo establishments/temporary establishments, 1,800 tattoo artists, and 250 guest artists. Although the estimated regulatory costs total over $300,000, the industry currently operates with annual expenses over $600,000. The rules will increase regulatory costs but should decrease the overall costs incurred by the industry. The majority of the businesses operating as tattoo establishments can be categorized as small businesses and will incur minimal costs associated with these rules and the statutory requirements. These costs should be offset by the elimination of the costs associated with supervision, which was previously required of tattoo establishments. At this time, no alternative proposals have been submitted. The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs. This proposed rulemaking will not have an adverse impact or effect regulatory costs in excess of $1 million within five years as established in Sections 120.541(2)(a)1., 2., and 3., F.S.

Rule 64E-28.010, Forms, and Rule 64E-28.011, Fee Schedule, have been withdrawn.
