6. Description of all of the entities that may be affected by the emergency rule, including any local governmental units, businesses, economic sectors, or public utility ratepayers who may reasonably be anticipated to be affected by the rule
This chapter applies to any facility, agency or other organization that proposes to (1) maintain a registry of nurse aides, (2) train or administer competency evaluation testing of nurse aides, feeding assistants, or medication aides under a program approved by or the department, and (3) all persons automatically included or eligible for inclusion and requesting inclusion in the department's registry of nurse aides.
7. Summary and preliminary comparison of any existing or proposed federal regulation that is intended to address the activities to be regulated by the rule
Federal conditions of participation for the registry of nurse aides, nurse aide training and testing programs, and training of paid feeding assistants are contained in 42 CFR 483.150 to 483.160. These regulations establish conditions and standards for the approval of nurse aide training and competency evaluation programs, for the maintenance and operation of a registry, and for conducting training and testing programs for nurse aides and paid feeding assistants. State and federal regulations for registry services and training and testing of nurse aide and paid feeding assistants are comparable. 8. Anticipated economic impact, locally or statewide
The proposed rule will have minimal or no economic impact.
