PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Rulemaking is necessary to amend Form DC4-698A to ensure that it is ADA compliant.

SUMMARY: Rulemaking is necessary to amend Form DC4-698A to ensure that it is ADA compliant as it relates to interpreters, assistance, and status of ADA equipment or supplies, and to amend the form completion process.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS 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 Department used an itemized checklist to conduct an economic analysis and determine if there would be any adverse impact or regulatory cost associated with this rule that exceeds the stated criteria. Upon review of the proposed rulemaking, the Department determined that the amendments will not exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC as set forth in s. 120.541(2)(a), F.S.

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.
