RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B19-12.005: Biennial Active Renewal Fee
64B19-12.007: Biennial Inactive Renewal Fee
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule amendments are intended to address reduction in the active and inactive renewal fees.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule amendments reduce the active and inactive renewal fees from $400 to $340.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The Board determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary. The Board has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business, or likely increase regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within 1 year after implementation of the rule. These rule amendments will not require ratification by the Legislature.
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.
