64B15-10.002: Application and Licensure Fees
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed rule amendment is intended to implement fees for those physicians who seek a temporary certificate to practice in an area of critical need.
SUMMARY: The proposed rule amendment implements an application fee in the amount of $300 for physicians seeking a temporary certificate to practice in an area of critical need and to set forth the initial licensure fee in the amount of $429.
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. 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.
