1. General.--Clarity.
The fiscal analysis submitted by the Board for the individual fee changes proposed, indicates how, in the aggregate, the prescribed fees will cover the costs of the services provided by the Board. However, it does not include a breakdown of the Board staff time, salaries, associated costs and administrative overhead costs for each fee. This fiscal information should be submitted with the final-form regulation.
2. Definitions.--Clarity.
Seminar
The Board is adding ''seminar'' as a new term and assigning a fee to correspond with the licensing of private schools that only conduct seminars. The definition of ''private licensed school'' in 24 P. S. § 6502 does not specifically state that the Board has the authority to regulate seminars. How do seminars as defined in this regulation fit into the definition of ''private licensed school'' in 24 P. S. § 6502?
