  An error occurred in the final-form rulemaking published at 53 Pa.B. 16 (January 7, 2023). Ellipses were inadvertently omitted in § 18.843 (relating to orthotic fitter license). Section 18.843 is corrected in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation. The remainder of the final-form rulemaking is accurate as published.
