Registration of Sign Language Interpreters and Transliterators
[36 Pa.B. 3822]
[Saturday, July 22, 2006]Under section 3(4) of the Sign Language Interpreters and Transliterators State Registration Act (act) (63 P. S. § 1725.3(4)), the Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (Office) within the Department of Labor and Industry (Department) is submitting proposed rulemaking for the registration of sign language interpreters and transliterators.
Statutory Authority
The Office is empowered to promulgate regulations that are necessary to carry out the act's provisions. The act also provides specific authority to approve a registration examination and to promulgate rulemaking addressing fees, disciplinary violations and registration reactivation See sections 5(a)(1)(iii) and (d), 8(a)(6) and 9(c)(1) of the act (63 P. S. §§ 1725.5(a)(1)(iii) and (d), 1725.8(a)(6) and 1725.9(c)(1)).
Background
The act was approved July 2, 2004, and took effect on August 31, 2004. The act requires the Office to register sign language interpreters and transliterators who meet the act's testing requirements. Registration renewal is to occur every 2 years. The act also allows the Office to charge fees, initiate discipline, impose administrative fines for violations, suspend, deny or revoke registrations and to hold hearings concerning alleged violations. The Department may seek an injunction or criminal action against persons engaged in sign language interpretation or transliterator services or representing themselves as being registered without being registered under the act.
Since July 2004, the Office has met with numerous organizations whose membership will be affected by the act and its proposed rulemaking. The Office provided information regarding the regulatory process, answers to frequently asked questions regarding the requirements of the act and received recommendations from the affected community.
The Office met and consulted with the following organizations: the Pennsylvania Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf; Pennsylvania Society for Advancement of the Deaf, Erie County Council for the Deaf, Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network, NE Technical Assistance Consortium, Office of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Advisory Council, Advisory Council for Persons who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, Pennsylvania Department of Education, Bureau of Special Education; Berks Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Board, Office of Equal Employment, Tobyhanna Army Depot, American Sign Language Teacher Association; Pittsburgh Hearing and Deafness Services; Pittsburgh Association for the Deaf; NW Technical Assistance Consortium and the Educational Resources for Children with Hearing Loss.
Purpose
The proposed rulemaking is necessary to implement and clarify the act's provisions concerning the registration and renewal process, the approved registration examination, fees, the circumstances under which nonregistered individuals are permitted to provide services, discipline, reactivation of suspended registrations and the complaint and appeal process.
Summary of Proposed Rulemaking
§ 501.1. Definitions.
This section provides definitions for the Office-approved examinations which test knowledge and proficiency of interpreting and transliterating required for registration under section 5 of the act. These tests are the NAD-RID NIC; the RID Generalist examination and the NAD National Interpreter Certification test. The NAD-RID NIC is a National certification instrument developed jointly by the Registry of Interpreters of the Deaf (RID) and the National Association of the Deaf (NAD). The NAD-RID NIC will ultimately phase out the use of the RID Generalist examination and the NAD National Interpreter Certification test for national certification. However, the certification bestowed on individuals who previously passed these examinations will remain valid. The examinations will remain viable. Definitions are also provided for the ''RID,'' ''NAD,'' ''act,'' ''Department,'' ''Office,'' ''Secretary'' and ''year.''
§ 501.2. Fees.
The Office has the discretion to set fees. The Office will utilize the initial $100 fee set by section 5(d) of the act for registration and renewal. An additional fee of $50 is required for late renewal. Under section 9(c) of the act, an additional reactivation after suspension fee of $100 is set.
§ 501.3. Examination.
This section adopts the NAD National Interpreter Certification, RID Generalist and NAD-RID NIC examinations under section 5(a)(1)(iii) of the act. It also provides procedures for an applicant to take the examination.
§ 501.4. Registration.
This section also enumerates the requirements for registration and the Office's duty to issue registrations. The Office may also deny a registration for failure to comply with the act and regulations and for the violations enumerated in the act.
§ 501.5 Exemptions.
This section clarifies the circumstances under which nonregistered individuals may provide interpreting or transliterating services under section 4(b) of the act (63 P. S. § 1725.4(b)). The exemption in subsection (a) applies to interpreting and transliterating services provided in a religious setting under section 4(b)(1) of the act. The proposed rulemaking clarifies that the services must be related to the religious worship services or religious education. The exemption does not apply to services provided for a religious entity or religiously-affiliated school unrelated to religious education.
The exemption in subsection (b) applies to Nationally-certified individuals from outside this Commonwealth providing services within this Commonwealth under section 4(b)(4) of the act. The proposed rulemaking requires these individuals to provide notice to the Office of the time, date, nature and duration of the services they intend to provide and to further provide evidence of current certification by the RID, NAD or NAD-RID NIC. Additionally, the Office will provide notification when an individual has provided 14 days of services.
Subsection (c) addresses the provision of interpreting or transliterating services by a nonregistered individual who provides services at the request of a deaf or hard of hearing individual under section 4(b)(5) of the act. The interpreter shall provide notice to the client that the individual is not registered with the Office. Additionally, the client is required to sign a form stating that he understands the individual is not registered with the Office. The nonregistered interpreter shall maintain a copy of the client's signed statement for 2 years.
Subsection (d) clarifies that an individual under section 4(b)(7) of the act who provides interpreting or transliterating services in a school-related activity, who is employed by a public or private elementary or secondary school shall achieve a score of at least 70% on the EIPA or be registered with the Office to provide services.
Subsection (e) constitutes an exemption for interpreting and transliterating services provided in physician offices under section 4(b)(8) of the act. A nonregistered individual may provide interpreting and transliterating services in a physician's office. However, the patient must be informed that the individual is not registered and informed of the patient's right to request or provide a registered interpreter. The physician's office shall provide a written notice of the patient's rights. The patient shall sign a statement indicating notification the individual is not registered and that the patient has the right to request or provide the services of a registered interpreter. Additionally, the patient shall be informed that a request for the services of a registered interpreter after the commencement of the office visit may result in a delay of the physician's services. Physician's offices shall provide the notice to a patient who is deaf or hard of hearing at each visit. Additionally, the physician's office shall maintain a copy of the signed statement in the patient's health care file.
§ 501.6. Complaints.
This section outlines the Office's duty to investigate alleged violations of the act and the procedure for a person to file a complaint.
§ 501.7. Hearings/appeals.
This section enumerates the hearing and appeal process for adjudicating alleged violations of the act and for the imposition of disciplinary measures under sections 8 and 9 of the act.
Subsection (a) provides that a respondent has the right to notice, hearing and adjudication under 2 Pa.C.S. (relating to administrative law and procedure). Hearings will be conducted under 1 Pa. Code Part II (relating to the General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure) and this section.
Subsection (b) requires the service of an order to show cause under 1 Pa. Code § 35.14 (relating to orders to show cause). A respondent may file an answer, under subsection (c), in accordance with 1 Pa. Code § 35.37 (relating to answers to orders to show cause).
Under subsections (d) and (e), the Office will designate a presiding officer to conduct a hearing and prepare a proposed report and order. The presiding officer will have the powers enumerated in 1 Pa. Code §§ 35.185--35.190 (relating to presiding officers).
Subsection (f) contains the procedures for appealing the proposed report and order to the Secretary under section 10 of the act (63 P. S. § 1725.10). A party seeking an appeal shall file exceptions within 20 days of service of the proposed report and order. The presiding officer will certify and transmit the record to the Secretary. The other party may file a response within 20 days. Either party may seek reopening of the record. If a timely appeal is filed, the Secretary or the Secretary's designee will issue a final order. The Secretary or designee may reopen the record and order additional briefs. The proposed report and order will become a final order if a timely appeal is not made under this section.
§ 501.8. Request for reconsideration of registration denial.
Under subsection (a), the Office may deny a registration application if the applicant does not meet the registration requirements of section 5(a) of the act or for the grounds contained in section 8(a) of the act.
An applicant may seek reconsideration of a denial with the Office by filing a written request under subsections (b) and (c). The Office will review the request. If it again denies the application, it will provide reasons for the denial under subsection (d). If the request is granted, the Office will issue a registration if the applicant pays the renewal fee and completes the application under section 5(a)(1) of the act.
Under subsection (f), an applicant may request a hearing and seek appeal of an adverse order under the procedures enumerated in § 501.6 (relating to hearings/appeals).
§ 501.9. Biennial registration renewal.
Section 5(b)(4) of the act provides that registrations may be issued for a period not to exceed 2 years. Accordingly, subsection (a) provides that registrations are to be renewed on a biennial basis. Practicing or holding forth the ability to practice with an expired registration is prohibited under this subsection.
Subsection (b) provides that the biennial registration will expire on December 31 of even-numbered years.
Subsection (c) contains the renewal requirements which include the submission of a completed application and payment of the required fees prior to the expiration of the current biennial period.
Subsection (d) provides that biennial registration forms and other forms or literature to be distributed by the Office are to be forwarded to the last-known mailing address provided to the Board by the registrant. The provision further provides that failure of the Office to send, or of the registrant to receive, a biennial registration application does not relieve the registrant of the biennial registration responsibility.
The Office will issue a biennial registration, under subsection (d) to an individual meeting these requirements.
§ 501.10. Reactivation of registration.
This section provides the requirements for reactivation of a suspended registration under section 9(c) of the act. These requirements are the time period of the suspension term has to be completed; all terms and conditions of the suspension order were complied with; the individual did not violate the act or this chapter during the suspension; the individual pays reactivation and renewal fees; and the individual complies with the renewal requirements of subsection (c).
§ 501.11. Change of address/name.
In accordance with section 6 of the act (63 P. S. § 1725.6), a registrant shall notify the office of any change of name or mailing address within 15 days of the change. Additionally, a registrant shall notify the office of any change in personal and professional information.
Affected Persons
The Office estimates that approximately 200 individuals will register under this act. These registrants will be impacted by the act's requirements which include a demonstration of competency to provide interpreting and transliterating services and the registration fee. Pennsylvanians who are deaf or hard of hearing who rely on interpreting and transliterating services will benefit from uniform standards relating to knowledge and proficiency.
A physician's office will have to complete and maintain records and provide notification to patients to comply with the exclusion provided in section 4(b)(8) of the act and § 501.3(d) of the proposed rulemaking. A physician's office will have to allow a patient to utilize a registrant, if requested.
Fiscal Impact
It is anticipated that there will be costs to the Department as a result of this proposed rulemaking. These costs should be offset by the registration and renewal fees contained in the rulemaking. It is anticipated that the Department will receive $20,000 in initial registration fees.
The Department cannot anticipate the costs of investigating, prosecuting and adjudicating alleged violations because there is no basis for comparison for this activity. The Office cannot predict the costs of monitoring compliance with the registration exclusions provided in § 501.4. It is not expected that the levying of administrative fines will demonstrably offset costs.
Paperwork Requirements
The Office will have to develop forms for registration and renewals and for filing complaints. It will develop a registration card or identification for registrants. Related forms include registration denial, and notifications concerning reconsideration. The Office and will have to keep records indicating registration status, hearings and discipline. Many of these records have to be accessible to the public under section 3(3) of the act.
Applicants will have to provide documentation to register and renew registrations, including certification requirements under § 501.3. A physician's office will have to complete and keep records concerning patient notification under § 501.4(d).
Sunset Date
A sunset date is not appropriate for this proposed rulemaking. The Office will periodically monitor this proposed rulemaking and submit amendments as needed.
Effective Date
The proposed rulemaking will be effective upon publication of a final-form regulation in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Contact Person
Interested persons are invited to submit written comments, suggestions or objections regarding the proposed rulemaking to Catherine N. Wojciechowski, Deputy Chief Counsel, 10th Floor, Labor and Industry Building, 7th and Forster Streets, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717) 787-4186; fax (717) 783-1303; e-mail: cwojciecho@state.pa.us within 30 days after publication of this proposed rulemaking in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

S. § 745.5(a)), on July 10, 2006, the Department submitted a copy of this proposed rulemaking and a copy of a Regulatory Analysis Form to the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) and to the Chairpersons of the House and Senate Labor Relations and Labor and Industry Committees. A copy of this material is available to the public upon request.
Under section 5(g) of the Regulatory Review Act, IRRC may convey any comments, recommendations or objections to the proposed rulemaking within 30 days of the close of the public comment period.
