STATE BOARD OF
BARBER EXAMINERS[49 PA. CODE CH. 3] Deletion of Examination Fees [32 Pa.B. 5416] The State Board of Barber Examiners (Board) proposes to amend § 3.103 (relating to fees) to read as set forth in Annex A. The proposed rulemaking deletes references to the fees charged by testing organizations from the schedule of fees for the theory and practical examinations for barbers and barber teachers and theory examination for managers.
Effective Date
The proposed rulemaking is effective on final-form publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Statutory Authority
The proposed rulemaking is authorized under section 812.1 of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. § 279.3a); and sections 6 and 14 of the Barber License Law (63 P. S. §§ 556 and 564).
Background and Need for Proposed Rulemaking
The proposed rulemaking to § 3.103 deletes references to the fees for the theory and practical examination for barbers and barber teachers and theory examination for managers. These fees are set by the administrators of the examinations, not by the Board. To avoid the necessity of amending the regulations whenever the examination administrator changes the fees, the Board proposes to delete references to the fees.
Description of Proposed Rulemaking
The proposed rulemaking deletes references to the fees for the theory and practical examinations for barbers and barber teachers and theory examination for managers. The fees are set by the professional testing organizations.
Fiscal Impact
The proposed rulemaking will have no fiscal impact on the Board or its licensees. The proposed rulemaking should have no fiscal impact on the private sector, the general public or political subdivisions.
Paperwork Requirements
The proposed rulemaking will avoid preparation of new regulations each time that an examination fee is changed and should not create additional paperwork for the private sector.
Sunset Date
The Board monitors its regulations on a continuing basis. Therefore, no sunset date has been assigned.
Regulatory Review
Under section 5(a) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5(a)), on October 17, 2002, the Board submitted a copy of this proposed rulemaking to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) and the Chairpersons of the Senate Consumer Protection and Professional Licensure Committee and the House Professional Licensure Committee. In addition to submitting the proposed rulemaking, the Board has provided IRRC and the Committees with a copy of a detailed Regulatory Analysis Form prepared by the Board in compliance with Executive Order 1996-1, ''Regulatory Review and Promulgation.'' A copy of this material is available to the public upon request.
Under section 5(g) of the Regulatory Review Act, if IRRC has objections to any portion of the proposed rulemaking, it will notify the Board within 10 days of the close of the Committees' review period. The notification shall specify the regulatory review criteria that have not been met by the portion of the proposed rulemaking to which an objection is made. The Regulatory Review Act specifies detailed procedures for review, prior to final publication of the rulemaking, by the Board, the General Assembly and the Governor of objections raised.
