RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

64B10-16.002Preceptor

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The Board proposes the rule amendment to update the rule, correct the website reference, revise the Preceptor Certification Application, form # DOH/NHA014 (Revised 1/14 10/2008), and incorporate the revised application form into the rule.

SUMMARY: The rule amendment will update the rule, correct the website reference, revise the Preceptor Certification Application, form # DOH/NHA014 (Revised 1/14 10/2008) and incorporate the revised application form into the rule.

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 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: Because the changes are technical and non-substantive in nature and do not add to or reduce procedures previously established by the rule, the rule amendments will not result in additional costs being incurred. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time.

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.
