TITLE 410 INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Economic Impact Statement
LSA Document #22-395


IC 4-22-2.1-5 Statement Concerning Rules Affecting Small Businesses
Description of the Rule
This rule amends 410 IAC 6-8.3 to update definitions and other provisions to reflect current terminology, standards, and best practices regarding the design, installation, construction, maintenance, and operation of residential on-site sewage systems.

Economic Impact on Small Businesses
1. Estimate of the number of small businesses, classified by industry sector, that will be subject to the proposed rule.
IC 5-28-2-6 defines a small business as a business entity that satisfies the following requirements:
(1) On at least fifty percent (50%) of the working days of the business entity occurring during the preceding calendar year, the business entity employed not more than one hundred fifty (150) employees.
(2) The majority of the employees of the business entity work in Indiana.
This rule should not have any impact on small businesses. This rule amendment is a clarification of updated statutory requirements or updates required by IC 16-19-3-27.7, so any increased cost is a result of changes in HEA 1402 (P.L. 232-2023).

2. Estimate of the average annual reporting, record keeping, and other administrative costs that small businesses will incur to comply with the proposed rule.
This rule does not impose annual reporting, record keeping, and other administrative costs on small businesses.

3. Estimate of the total annual economic impact that compliance with the proposed rule will have on all small businesses subject to the rule.
This rule should not have any impact on small businesses. This rule amendment is a clarification of updated statutory requirements or updates required by IC 16-19-3-27.7, so any increased cost is a result of changes in HEA 1402.

4. Statement justifying any requirement or cost that is imposed on small businesses by the rule; and not expressly required by the statute authorizing the agency to adopt the rule; or any other state or federal law.
There is no cost to small businesses based on this rule update.

5. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
This rule is a clarification or update based on new requirements from HEA 1402, so there is no regulatory alternative.

Conclusion
This rule should not have any impact on small businesses. This rule amendment is a clarification of updated statutory requirements or updates required by IC 16-19-3-27.7, so any increased cost is a result of changes in HEA 1402.
