PROPOSED RULEMAKING

STATE BOARD OF DENTISTRY

[ 49 PA. CODE CH. 33 ]

Fees

[50 Pa.B. 6356]
[Saturday, November 14, 2020]

 The State Board of Dentistry (Board) proposes to amend § 33.3 (relating to fees) and delete § 33.339 (relating to fees for issuance of permits) to read as set forth in Annex A.

Effective Date

 This proposed rulemaking will be effective upon publication of the final-form rulemaking in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The increased application fees will be implemented immediately upon publication. Thereafter the subsequent graduated increases for application fees will be implemented on a 2-fiscal-year (FY) basis on July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2025.

 The increased biennial renewal fees will be implemented with the April 1, 2021—March 31, 2023, biennial renewal period.

Statutory Authority

 Section 3(o) of The Dental Law (act) (63 P.S. § 122(o)), authorizes the Board to adopt, promulgate, and enforce such rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary by the Board and proper to carry into effect the powers conferred by the act. Section 4(a) of the act (63 P.S. § 123(a)) provides that the fee for an applicant for examination and licensure to practice dentistry or as a dental hygienist or certification for an expanded function dental assistant (EFDA) in this Commonwealth shall be fixed by the Board by regulation. Section 4(b) of the act requires the Board to increase fees by regulation to meet or exceed projected expenditures if the revenues raised by fees, fines and civil penalties imposed under the act are not sufficient to meet expenditures over a 2-year period. The Board's authority to impose an application fee for a restricted faculty applicant is section 11.11(a)(7) of the act (63 P.S. § 130l(a)(7)), which provides that an applicant for a restricted faculty license shall pay a fee in the same amount as is prescribed by the Board for licensure to practice dentistry. Additionally, under section 11.11(d) of the act, to renew a restricted faculty license, a licensee must pay a biennial renewal fee in the same amount as the fee prescribed by the Board for renewal of licensure to practice dentistry.

Background and Need for Amendment

 Under section 4(b) of the act, the Board is required by law to support its operations from the revenue it generates from fees, fines and civil penalties. In addition, the act provides that the Board shall increase fees if the revenue raised by fees, fines and civil penalties is not sufficient to meet expenditures over a 2-year period. The Board raises the majority of its revenue through biennial renewal fees. A small percentage of its revenue comes from application fees, fines and civil penalties.

 In March and November 2019, representatives from the Bureau of Finance and Operations (BFO) met with the Board and provided summaries of the Board's revenue and expenses through FY 2025-2026. The BFO reported that in FY 2017-2018 the Board began with a revenue balance of $1,230,886.86; however, in this same fiscal year, the Board incurred $2,175,906.70 in expenses, resulting in a deficit of ($573,799.20) to carry forward to FY 2018-2019. In 2019 (a ''renewal year'') the Board collected revenues totaling $3,530,770.47 and incurred $2,378,734.70 in expenses. This provided a positive balance of $578,236.57 to carry forward to FY 2019-2020. However, the BFO anticipates that with FY 2019-2020 being a nonrenewal year, the Board will receive only $346,314.44 in revenue, while continuing to accrue expenses totaling $2,397,000. This will result in a deficit of ($1,472,448.99) to carry forward to FY 2020-2021. Because FY 2020-2021 is a renewal year, the BFO projects that the Board will collect revenue totaling $3,379,000. However, the Board's total expenditures for FY 2020-2021 are projected to be $2,450,000, resulting in a deficit to carry forward to FY 2021-2022 of ($543,448.99). With no change in the fee structure, the BFO projects that with projected revenue and expenses, taking into consideration renewal years, the Board will have a deficit of ($2,666,134.55) by the end of FY 2021-2022; a deficit of ($1,811,134.55) by the end of FY 2022-2023; a deficit of ($4,007,820.11) by the end of FY 2023-2024; a deficit of ($3,228,820.11) by the end of FY 2024-2025; and a mounting deficit of ($7,797,505.67) by the end of FY 2025-2026.

 Based on the BFO's summaries, the Board's revenue is insufficient to meet expenditures over a 2-year period. It is therefore necessary for the Board to raise fees to meet or exceed projected expenditures, in compliance with section 4(b) and (c) of the act. To accomplish that objective, the BFO recommended increased application fees that are reflective of actual costs to process applications in each biennium, and an 18% renewal fee increase for each renewal cycle beginning with the April 1, 2021—March 31, 2023, biennial renewal and continuing through FY 2025-2026. The last time the Board approved a renewal fee increase was in July of 2012, which was effective for the April 2015 renewal period.

 Based upon the financial information that the BFO presented to the Board on March 15, 2019, and November 15, 2019, the Board adopted the new schedule of fees set forth in Annex A. The increased fees are projected to produce sufficient revenue to meet expenditures over a 2-year period through FY 2025-2026. In FY 2020-2021 through FY 2021-2022, with the fee increase, the Board's revenue of approximately $4.764 million will be sufficient to meet its expenditures of approximately $4.764 million. In FY 2022-2023 through FY 2023-2024, the Board's revenue of approximately $5.571 million will be sufficient to meet its expenditures of approximately $4.907 million. By the end of FY 2023-2024, the Board's deficit will decrease to ($808,448.99). In FY 2024-2025 through FY 2025-2026, the Board's revenue of approximately $6.518 million will be sufficient to meet its expenditures of approximately $5.054 million. By the end of FY 2025-2026, the Board will have a positive balance of $655,551.01. Thus, the proposed fee structure will allow the Board to meet expenditures over a 2-year period as required by section 4(b) of the act and will put the Board back on firm financial ground.

Description of Proposed Amendments

 This proposed rulemaking will result in the following amendments to the Board's existing fee schedules in §§ 33.3 and 33.339.

 This proposed rulemaking amends § 33.3 by increasing the application fees for dentists; dental facility fictitious names; dental hygienists; EFDAs; unrestricted, restricted I and restricted II anesthesia permits; local anesthesia permits; public health dental hygienists practitioners; EFDA program approval; criteria approval—dentists; criteria approval—dental hygienists; and criteria approval—EFDAs to cover identifiable costs incurred by the Board to process these applications. This proposed rulemaking adds a graduated application fee for a restricted faculty license. In § 33.3 the Board includes the fee for verification of license, permit or registration fee-dentists, dental hygienists and EFDAs. This fee is an existing fee that the Board is carrying over to the proposed fee schedule. The Board is not increasing this fee, but rather, keeping the same $15 fee that is currently charged for this service.

 The Board's proposed fee schedule deletes some application fees. In § 33.3, the Board proposes to delete the notification application—postgraduate training or faculty member fee. With respect to the postgraduate training notification application fee, the Board no longer requires an application for postgraduate training, but rather, only requires hospitals or training programs to submit a notification through the Board's electronic application system for which the Board has determined a fee is unnecessary. In place of the faculty member fee, the Board proposes to add the restricted faculty license fee to align with amendments to the act. In July 2014, the act was amended by the act of July 2, 2014 (P.L. 828, No. 89) (Act 89) to require that the Board grant, without examination, restricted faculty licenses to qualified applicants. See 63 P.S. § 130l. Act 89 requires that qualified individuals submit a completed application and an application fee in the same amount as the fee prescribed by the Board for licensure to practice dentistry (current fee of $200). Id. at 130l(a)(7). Additionally, under section 11.11(d) of the act, to renew a restricted faculty license, a licensee must pay a biennial renewal fee in the same amount as the fee prescribed by the Board for renewal of licensure to practice dentistry (current fee of $263).

 In § 33.3, the Board proposes to delete the fees for certification of scores, permit or registration fee—dentists, dental hygienists and expanded function dental assistants because the Board no longer issues certifications of scores. Board examinations are now administered by National or regional organizations who provide this service. The Board proposes to delete the application fee for dental radiology authorization in § 33.3 because there is no requirement in the act or the Board's regulations to file an application or pay a fee.

 The Board proposes to delete § 33.339. The initial application and renewal fees for the anesthesia permits (unrestricted, restricted I and restricted II) appearing in § 33.339 will be moved and combined with the schedule of fees in § 33.3 so that all fees charged by the Board are listed in one location. The Board proposes to delete fees for the temporary unrestricted permit, temporary restricted permit I and temporary restricted permit II (currently listed in § 33.339) because they are now obsolete. Temporary permits were issued for a short period when Subchapter E (relating to administration of general anesthesia, deep sedation, conscious sedation and nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) was first adopted by the Board in 2005 to allow existing practitioners to continue to administer deep sedation or conscious sedation, or both, while awaiting their scheduled evaluation and inspection, upon receipt of a completed application, fee and educational documentation. Because a temporary permit is no longer necessary, the Board proposes to delete this fee.

 The proposed application fee increases occur on a graduated basis so that the application fees collected during each biennium reflect the anticipated costs of processing applications for that biennium. These fees are designed to cover the cost to process applications and are borne by individual applicants. Actual cost calculations for application fees are based upon the following formula:

number of minutes to perform the function

×

pay rate for the classification of the personnel
performing the function

+

a proportionate share of administrative overhead

 The application fees for FY 2020-2021 are based on time study reports created within the Bureau of Professional and Occupational Affairs giving each step in the process and the amount of time it takes to process one application. That amount is multiplied by the anticipated application requests for 1 year (times two since the increases are biennial). Increases which will be effective July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2025, are calculated at an approximately 9.5% increase as pay increases for staff that process applications are 2.5% in July and 2.25% in January or 4.75 % annually (9.5% biennially) and the fee is almost entirely dependent upon personnel-related costs.

 The Board proposes to increase biennial renewal fees for dentists, dental hygienists, EFDAs, anesthesia-unrestricted, anesthesia-restricted I, anesthesia-restricted II, dental hygienist local anesthesia permits, public health dental hygiene practitioners, EFDA education program approval and restricted faculty licenses. The biennial renewal fees will increase by 18% for each renewal cycle beginning in the April 1, 2021—March 31, 2023, biennial renewal period and continuing through the April 1, 2025—March 31, 2027, biennial renewal period.

 When considering this proposed fee increase, the Board conducted a comparison of application fees and renewal fees charged by surrounding states. The Board found that even by comparing the highest fee increases, which will not be effective until FY 2025-2026, the Commonwealth's application fees and renewal fees are still among the lowest or are in line, or both, with fees charged in surrounding states.

Fiscal Impact

 This proposed rulemaking will increase the application fees and biennial renewal fees for all license and permit types issued by the Board. The Board receives approximately 1,979 applications annually from its various licensee types. There are currently 29,911 licensees and permit holders who will be impacted by the fee increase. Existing licensees will be required to pay 18% higher renewal fees every 2 years beginning in the April 1, 2021—March 31, 2023, biennial renewal period and continuing through the April 1, 2025—March 31, 2027, biennial renewal period.
