RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
64B15-12.010: Temporary Certificate for Practice in an Area of Critical Need
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule is intended to incorporate the application form for practice in an area of critical need and to identify the manner in which to obtain the application form.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule incorporates the application form for practice in an area of critical need and sets forth the manner in which applicants may obtain the application form.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: During discussion of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost (SERC) was not necessary. No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time. 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.
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.
