SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: A Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost has been prepared and is available by contacting Rebecca Poston, Executive Director, at the address listed below. The following is a summary of the SERC:

• All initial and renewal permit applicants for the registration of pharmacy technicians will increase the number of applications processed under the contract.
