Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 35 No. 50, December 18, 2009 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

Although the rule notice stated that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) had been prepared and was available, the notice did not summarize the SERC. The following is a Summary of the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs:

1. The number of applications received each year will vary so the precise number impacted in future years is not available.

2. The only costs to be incurred are rule making costs.

3. No transitional costs are expected to be incurred by applicants or other entities by the proposed modifications.

4. The new questions are the result of SB 1986 that modified Section 456.0635, Florida Statutes. The proposed rule is not expected to impact small business, small counties or small cities since the rule change is being made to implement the new requirements in Section 456.0635, Florida Statutes.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.

The correction does not affect the substance of the rule as it appeared in the Florida Administrative Weekly as outlined above.

The person to be contacted regarding this rule is: Allen Hall, Executive Director, Board of Respiratory Care Specialists/MQA, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3255
