Notice is given that the following correction has been made to the Summary of the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs in proposed Rules 64K-1.001, 64K-1.003, 64K-1.004, 64K-1.005, and 64K-1.006, F.A.C., in Vol. 36, No. 36, September 10, 2010, issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly as corrected by the Notice of Correction in Vol. 36, No. 44, November 5, 2010, issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.
The FAMU College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Division of Economic, Social, and Administrative Pharmacy prepared an economic analysis for Rule 64K-1.004, F.A.C., which was used to prepare and was incorporated within a revised SERC prepared in compliance with Chapter 2010-279, Laws of Florida. Rule 64K-1.004, F.A.C., was the rule that required preparation of a SERC.
The SERC economic analysis shows that the proposed rules are not likely to adversely impact economic growth, job creation, investment, business competitiveness, productivity, or innovation in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation. Transactional costs for small pharmacies average approximately $20 per transaction and 90% of the pharmacies can submit data over the web. Also, patients may elect the costs for travel to the Program office to request their records. However, the transactional costs are low and the proposed rules will not increase regulatory costs in excess of $1 million in the aggregate within 5 years after implementation. The Program is not funded from state funds so the rules will not affect costs to the agency, other governmental agencies, or state revenues. The rules are not expected to effect small counties or cities and alternatives to the proposal were not submitted to the agency.
