State Athletic Commission--Boxing and Wrestling; Regulation No. 16-17

   On May 12, 2000, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the State Athletic Commission (SAC). This rulemaking amends 58 Pa. Code Chapters 1, 3, 5, 9, 11, 13, 21, 23, 25, 27, 31 and 33. The proposed regulation was published in the May 27, 2000, Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on March 5, 2002.

   The regulation represents a comprehensive update and revision of the procedures and rules by which the SAC regulates boxing and wrestling in Pennsylvania. The SAC licenses: 59 boxing promoters; 51 boxing managers; 400 professional boxers; 40 professional kickboxers; 25 referees; 52 judges; and 22 physicians. The regulation will impose marginal cost increases on managers and promoters.

   We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the SAC (5 Pa.C.S. § 103(b)) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

By Order of the Commission:

   This regulation is approved.

Department of Health--Newborn Disease Screening and Follow-Up; Regulation No. 10-137

   On April 18, 2001, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Department of Health (Department). This rulemaking amends 28 Pa. Code Chapters 27, 28 and 501. The proposed regulation was published in the April 28, 2001, Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on March 8, 2002.

   This regulation adds maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), hemoglobin diseases, galactosemia and congenital adrenal hyperplastia to the list of diseases for which newborn children are routinely tested, as mandated by Act 86 of 1992. Currently the statute requires testing for phenylketonuria, MSUD and sickle-cell disease. The Department is also updating procedures for screening and follow-up testing for diseases on the list. Finally, the amendments clarify when a health care provider is required to collect blood filter paper specimens.

   We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Department (35 P. S. § 625) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this regulation is in the public interest.

By Order of the Commission:

   This regulation is approved.

JOHN R. MCGINLEY, Jr.,   
Chairperson
