    RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

    61E14-5.003Notice of Non-Compliance

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT:  To correct cross references to another rule and add an additional violation which can be resolved through a Notice of Non-Compliance.

    SUMMARY: Correct cross references to another rule and add an additional violation which can be resolved through a Notice of Non-Compliance.

    SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST 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: The amendments correct incorrect cross references to another rule and add an additional disciplinary violation which can be resolved through a Notice of Noncompliance avoiding the costs of a full disciplinary proceeding. Accordingly, there will be no adverse impact on small business, and the Council expects the rule amendments will reduce overall costs on all entities.

    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.
