(a) What this administrative regulation does:
This new administrative regulation establishes the fees for persons and businesses seeking an allied animal health professional (AAHP) facility registration from the board to gain the ability to operate an AAHP facility in Kentucky.
(b) The necessity of this administrative regulation:
This new administrative regulation is necessary to establish the fees that the Kentucky Board of Veterinary Examiners (KBVE) approves for AAHP facility registration, as mandated in KRS 321.203, 321.205, 321.235(1)(c), 321.236, and 321.320.
(c) How this administrative regulation conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes:
KRS 321.235 mandates that the board administer and enforce KRS Chapter 321. KRS 321.203, 321.235(1)(c), and 321.236 specifically require the board to collect fees for new, renewal, and reinstatement applications on registered facilities.
(d) How this administrative regulation currently assists or will assist in the effective administration of the statutes:
This new administrative regulation will assist in effective administration by clearly expressing what fees have been approved by the board in order to keep all mandated programs operational and responsive to constituent needs.
(2) If this is an amendment to an existing administrative regulation, provide a brief summary of:
(a) How the amendment will change this existing administrative regulation:
N/A. This is a new administrative regulation.
(b) The necessity of the amendment to this administrative regulation:
N/A. This is a new administrative regulation.
(c) How the amendment conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes:
N/A. This is a new administrative regulation.
(d) How the amendment will assist in the effective administration of the statutes:
N/A. This is a new administrative regulation.
(3) List the type and number of individuals, businesses, organizations, or state and local governments affected by this administrative regulation:
Approximately ten (10) businesses in Kentucky offering AAHP services are estimated to be affected.
(4) Provide an analysis of how the entities identified in question (3) will be impacted by either the implementation of this administrative regulation, if new, or by the change, if it is an amendment, including:
(a) List the actions that each of the regulated entities identified in question (3) will have to take to comply with this administrative regulation or amendment:
Applicants will be required to have paid the fee prior to registration, renewal, or reinstatement.
(b) In complying with this administrative regulation or amendment, how much will it cost each of the entities identified in question (3):
No costs are associated with compliance, as this is a prerequisite for application, renewal, and reinstatement.
(c) As a result of compliance, what benefits will accrue to the entities identified in question (3):
Administrative ease of clear communications of the fees associated with registration.
(5) Provide an estimate of how much it will cost the administrative body to implement this administrative regulation:
(a) Initially:
The KBVE expects costs for all board operations to be approximately $759,700 annually in the near term.
(b) On a continuing basis:
The KBVE expects costs for all board operations to be approximately $900,000 annually in future bienniums as new programming is brought online, per the mandates in the modernized Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, KRS Chapter 321.
(6) What is the source of the funding to be used for the implementation and enforcement of this administrative regulation:
KBVE does not receive any general funds. Fees for the board come from license, certificate, permit, and registration fees established in this filing and the other fee filings.
(7) Provide an assessment of whether an increase in fees or funding will be necessary to implement this administrative regulation, if new, or by the change if it is an amendment:
There is no anticipation of an increase in fees to implement this administrative regulation, as the KBVE is already running an administrative program to process applications and an inspection program to ensure compliance. The new fees for AAHP facility registration establish revenue required for this new program.
(8) State whether or not this administrative regulation establishes any fees or directly or indirectly increases any fees:
Fees are established directly.
(9) TIERING: Is tiering applied?
Yes, tiering is applied to the fees based on the number of mobile units associated with the AAHP facility. If an AAHP facility has more than two (2) mobile units, there is a small fee for each additional mobile unit to account for additional staff time processing applications and database management.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
(1) Identify each state statute, federal statute, or federal regulation that requires or authorizes the action taken by the administrative regulation.
KRS 321.203, 321.205, 321.235(1)(c), 321.236, and 321.320.
(2) Identify the promulgating agency and any other affected state units, parts, or divisions:
The promulgating agency is the Kentucky Board of Veterinary Examiners. There are no other affected state units, parts, or divisions.
(a) Estimate the following for the first year:
Expenditures:
The KBVE expects costs for all board operations to be approximately $759,700 annually in the near term. This includes the administration of the AAHP facility registration program, database management, infrastructure, overhead, and contractors, including legal counsel and investigators.
Revenues:
This filing will generate approximately $500-$1,000 the first year.
Cost Savings:
There will be no cost savings; this amendment simply codifies the requirements, making them easily accessible for regulated entities.
(b) How will expenditures, revenues, or cost savings differ in subsequent years?
The General Assembly provided a low initial registration fee of $100 and empowered the board to set fees based on costs in subsequent years. The board is phasing in fees so businesses have time to prepare. Further, AAHP facility registrations shall renew only every other year. Consequently, the annual amount varies significantly. In F.Y.s ending in even numbers, the regulation will generate approx. $3,700-$5,800; in F.Y.s ending in odd numbers, there is anticipated to be virtually no revenue (i.e., only new facilities, projected to be less than $2,000). Staff time and database management will be required for record keeping. Costs will be minimal.
(3) Identify affected local entities (for example: cities, counties, fire departments, school districts):
KBVE does not anticipate that any local entities will be impacted.
(a) Estimate the following for the first year:
Expenditures:
N/A
Revenues:

(b) How will expenditures, revenues, or cost savings differ in subsequent years?
N/A
(5) Provide a narrative to explain the:
(a) Fiscal impact of this administrative regulation:
Running an administrative program mandated by the General Assembly costs money. Fees for AAHP facility registration, renewal, and reinstatement shall be used to pay programmatic costs and are shared across board operations to keep fees as low as possible. Costs include overhead, staffing and benefits, database usage and maintenance, contractors, legal counsel, etc. These fees shall ensure that the board and its staff remain operational, efficient, and responsive to both the public and constituent needs, while also implementing new programs as mandated by the modernized Kentucky Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, KRS Chapter 321. Once established and recurring, these fees are anticipated to generate revenue of approx. $2,200 every two years, critical revenue for the functionality of all board services.
(b) Methodology and resources used to determine the fiscal impact:
A large spreadsheet was used to calculate all board revenues, expenditures, proposed fees, and estimated quantities of applications based on historical numbers. Projections were calculated ten (10) years out to F.Y. 2036.
(6) Explain:
(a) Whether this administrative regulation will have an overall negative or adverse major economic impact to the entities identified in questions (2) - (4). ($500,000 or more, in aggregate)
This new regulation shall not have a "major economic impact", as defined in KRS 13A.010(13). The fees are minimal and are used for board operations to run the registration program.
(b) The methodology and resources used to reach this conclusion:
"Major economic impact" means an overall negative or adverse economic impact from an administrative regulation of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) or more on state or local government or regulated entities, in aggregate, as determined by the promulgating administrative bodies. [KRS 13A.010(13)] In most all cases, fees from this administrative regulation will be less than $550 per application or renewal. Reinstatement fees will be slightly higher due to the extra staffing costs related to processing.

A large spreadsheet was used to calculate all board revenues, expenditures, proposed fees, and estimated quantities of applications based on historical numbers. Projections were calculated ten (10) years out to F.Y. 2036.
(6) Explain:
(a) Whether this administrative regulation will have an overall negative or adverse major economic impact to the entities identified in questions (2) - (4). ($500,000 or more, in aggregate)
This new regulation shall not have a "major economic impact", as defined in KRS 13A.010(13). The fees are minimal and are used for board operations to run the registration program.
(b) The methodology and resources used to reach this conclusion:
"Major economic impact" means an overall negative or adverse economic impact from an administrative regulation of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) or more on state or local government or regulated entities, in aggregate, as determined by the promulgating administrative bodies. [KRS 13A.010(13)] In most all cases, fees from this administrative regulation will be less than $550 per application or renewal. Reinstatement fees will be slightly higher due to the extra staffing costs related to processing.
