PROPOSED RULEMAKING
DEPARTMENT OF
LABOR AND INDUSTRY
[34 PA. CODE CH. 501]
Examinations, Fees and Provisional Registration Process for Sign Language Interpreters and Transliterators
[54 Pa.B. 6258]
[Saturday, October 5, 2024]
Under section 3(4) of the Sign Language Interpreter and Transliterator 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 this proposed rulemaking for the registration of sign language interpreters and transliterators.
The Department proposes amendments to Chapter 501 (relating to registration of sign language interpreters and transliterators) to read as set forth in Annex A.
Statutory Authority
The Office is empowered to promulgate regulations that are necessary to carry out the act's provisions in section 3(4). 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)) also provide specific authority to approve a registration examination and to promulgate rulemakings addressing fees, disciplinary violations and registration reactivation.
Background
The act requires the Office to register sign language interpreters and transliterators who meet the act's testing requirements. Registration renewal is required 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 hold hearings concerning alleged violations. The Department may seek an injunction or pursue criminal action against unregistered persons engaged in sign language interpretation or transliterator services or representing themselves as being registered under the act.
The regulations in Chapter 501 currently provide specific names of examinations that test skill and proficiency. Through this proposed rulemaking, the Department seeks to delete the specific names of these examinations because they are no longer being offered. This proposed rulemaking will allow the Office to publish annually the names of the available examinations. In addition, the act of November 23, 2010 (P.L. 1355, No. 124) (Act 124 of 2010) amended the act to allow for provisional registration and, accordingly, the Department seeks to amend Chapter 501 to provide for provisional registration.
The Department engaged in a 30-day public and stakeholder outreach period during the drafting process. On August 9, 2022, the Department sought comment from small businesses; sign language interpreters; certifying organizations; private, public and non-profit organizations; citizens with disabilities and the general public by sending an e-mail to a list of all known stakeholders and posting a notice of the proposed changes to the regulations and an accessible video online on the Department's web site. The Department requested feedback from stakeholders on desired changes to the regulations. The public comment period was open until September 9, 2022, and the Department received feedback from various stakeholders as a result of this request.
Purpose
This proposed rulemaking amends Chapter 501 to delete the identified examinations that test knowledge and proficiency, which are no longer offered. The amended language will expand the number of examinations available for sign language interpreters and transliterators by requiring the Office to publish an annual list of approved examinations. Additionally, this proposed rulemaking adds § 501.4.1 (relating to provisional registration) to provide for a provisional registration and amends § 501.2 (relating to fees) to set initial and annual renewal fees for the provisional registration.
Summary of Proposed Rulemaking
Part XV
The heading for Part XV is proposed to be amended to correct a minor error. The heading currently states ''Office of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing''; however, the proper name for the Office is the ''Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.''
§ 501.1. Definitions
Section 501.1 (relating to definitions) is proposed to be amended to delete: (1) the names of examinations previously offered by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, Inc. (RID) and the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), because RID and NAD no longer offer examinations, and (2) the names of the certifications associated with those specific examinations. The Office will now publish an annual list of approved examinations. Because neither the Office nor the Department controls how long specific interpreting and transliterating examinations are provided, this change is necessary to keep the list of examinations current. This section is also proposed to be amended to provide definitions for ''interpreter education program,'' ''legal setting,'' ''medical setting'' and ''mental health setting'' as those terms are used in §§ 501.4.1 and 501.5 (relating to exemptions).
§ 501.2. Fees
Section 501.2 is proposed to be amended to add an annual provisional registration fee of $50 that is renewable for the same amount. Section 5.1(d) of the act (63 P.S. § 1725.5.1(d)) establishes the provisional registration fee of $50. The Office currently charges registration and renewal fees for interpreters and transliterators and has not observed that these fees are a barrier to individuals seeking to register.
§ 501.3. Examination
Section 501.3 (relating to examination) is proposed to be amended to provide for an annual list of examinations that are approved by the Office to test knowledge and proficiency in interpreting and transliterating. This section also includes a requirement that the examinations approved by the Office shall include, but not be limited to, a test to determine ethical decision-making. This will provide the Office with greater flexibility in approving examinations so that there are approved examinations for individuals wishing to register as sign language interpreters and transliterators. It will also allow for an expanded number of examinations available for sign language interpreters and transliterators.
§ 501.4. Registration
Because the Office will publish an annual list of approved examinations, § 501.4 (relating to registration) is proposed to be amended to delete the requirement to receive proof of certification from only RID and NAD, though other registration and application criteria will remain the same, with future certifying organizations recognized by the Office. This section is also proposed to be amended to delete the specific web address for the Office's web site, since the specific web address has changed and may change again in the future. This section also clarifies that, if the Office denies an application for registration, the applicant may file a request for reconsideration with the Office in accordance with the procedures contained in § 501.9 (relating to request for reconsideration of registration denial). Finally, this section is proposed to be amended to capitalize ''Office'' to be consistent with this defined term.
§ 501.4.1. Provisional registration
Act 124 of 2010 amended the act to allow for provisional registration. In this Commonwealth, an interpreter must pass an examination, approved by the Office, that tests knowledge and interpreting or transliterating skills. The examinations are given in two parts. The first part of the examination tests the interpreter's knowledge, which includes ethical decision-making. The second part of the examination is the skills examination. A provisionally registered interpreter has passed only the knowledge portion of the examination, whereas a State-registered interpreter has passed both the knowledge examination and the skills examination. Due to Act 124 of 2010's amendment to the act which allows for provisional registration, § 501.4.1 is proposed to be added to provide the definition, procedure and requirements of an annual provisional registration and a required fee of $50 that is renewable for the same amount. This amount was set by section 4 of Act 124 of 2010 which added section 5.1 of the act and the Department is not using its authority to change this amount at this time. Section 501.4.1 references that an application for a provisional registration may be obtained from the Office's web site or the Department's web site. Currently, a person seeking an application needs to contact the Office, but the Office is working on changes to its web site to (1) make this application available on the web site and (2) allow an applicant to complete the application through the web site. This section also provides procedural steps if provisional registration is denied, including the applicant's right to file a request for reconsideration with the Office, in accordance with the procedures contained in § 501.9.
§ 501.5. Exemptions
Section 501.5 is proposed to be amended to update the language of the exemption for ''interpreting or transliterating as part of a supervised internship or practicum at an accredited college or university'' to be consistent with the language for the corresponding exemption found in section 4(b)(3) of the act (63 P.S. § 1725.4(b)(3)). This section is also proposed to be amended to delete the specific web address for the Office's web site and to correct a typographical error.
§ 501.7. Violations
Due to Act 124 of 2010's amendment of the act to allow for provisional registration, § 501.7 (relating to violations) is proposed to be amended to include a provisional registration as a circumstance where a violation can occur. This section is also proposed to be amended to capitalize ''Office'' to be consistent with this defined term.
§ 501.9. Request for reconsideration of registration denial
Due to Act 124 of 2010's amendment of the act to allow for provisional registration, § 501.9 is proposed to be amended to allow the Office to deny an application for provisional registration and to allow an applicant to seek reconsideration of a denial for a provisional registration.
§ 501.12. Change of address/name/information
Due to Act 124 of 2010's amendment of the act to allow for provisional registration, § 501.12 (relating to change of address/name/information) is proposed to be amended to require provisional registrants to notify the Office in writing within 10 days if the provisional registrant's name or mailing address changes, or if disciplinary action has been taken against the provisional registrant's ''registration, certification or license to provide interpreting or transliterating services by another state or government agency.''
Affected Persons
The types and numbers of persons, businesses, small businesses and organizations affected by this proposed rulemaking include 1.5 million people who are deaf or hard of hearing, interpreters and interpreter education programs.
Fiscal Impact
There is no cost to people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The costs for registration and for approved examinations are to be paid by the candidates who apply and do not account for any candidate or interpreter travel and pretest course fees but are associated with registration and testing. Currently, the cost for registration and testing ranges from $140 to $450, depending on the specific course and testing administrator.
There are no fiscal savings or costs associated with implementation and compliance for the regulated community, local government and State government for the current year and 5 subsequent years.
Reporting, Recordkeeping and Paperwork Requirements
To implement this proposed rulemaking, the Department has prepared four updated forms, including: (1) the Interpreter Registration Application; (2) the Provisional Registration Application; (3) the Provisional Registration Renewal Application; and (4) the Provisional and State Registration Invoice. Updates to these forms were required to delete the names of specific examinations in accordance with the changes in this proposed rulemaking. These four updated forms are included in the proposed rulemaking package available on the Independent Regulatory Review Commission's (IRRC) web site at irrc.state.pa.us/regulations/RegSrchRslts.cfm?ID=3430. The Department does not anticipate any other changes to the reporting, recordkeeping and paperwork requirements as a result of this proposed rulemaking.
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
This proposed rulemaking will be effective 60 days after publication of the final-form rulemaking in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Contact Person
Interested persons are invited to submit written comments, suggestions or objections regarding this proposed rulemaking to Melissa A. Hawkins, Director, Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, 7th Floor, 651 Boas Street, Harrisburg, PA 17121, ODHHpubliccomments@pa.gov within 30 days of publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Individuals who wish to provide a comment, suggestion or objection in an alternative format, contact the Office for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing for assistance.
Regulatory Review
Under section 5(a) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P.S. § 745.5(a)), on September 18, 2024, the Department submitted a copy of this proposed rulemaking and a copy of a Regulatory Analysis Form to IRRC and to the chairpersons of the Labor and Industry Committee of the Senate and to the chairpersons of the Labor and Industry Committee of the House of Representatives. 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. The comments, recommendations or objections must specify the regulatory review criteria in section 5.2 of the Regulatory Review Act (71 PS. § 745.5b) which have not been met. The Regulatory Review Act specifies detailed procedures for review, prior to final publication of the rulemaking by the Department, the General Assembly and the Governor.
NANCY A. WALKER,
Secretary
Fiscal Note: 12-119. No fiscal impact; recommends adoption. The department anticipates that the Commonwealth will receive approximately an additional $5,000 from fees for provisional registrations.
