      RELATES TO: KRS 216B.010-216B.055, 333.120, 21 C.F.R. Chapter 1, Part 601

      STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 214.020, 214.450-214.464, 214.468, 214.990(7), EO 96-862

      NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY: KRS 214.452 mandates that the Cabinet for Health Services promulgate administrative regulations to establish fees for the cost of regular inspections of all blood establishments to determine their compliance with KRS 214.450 to 214.464 and 214.468. KRS 214.452(1) requires blood establishments to be licensed by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Federal regulation 21 CFR Chapter 1, Part 601, does not require Kentucky to conduct the federal inspection required for licensure. This administrative regulation does not conflict with those federal requirements because its purpose is to establish fees for the cost of inspections necessary to determine compliance with KRS 214.450 to 214.464 and 214.468. Executive Order 96-862, effective July 2, 1996, reorganizes the Cabinet for Human Resources and places the Office of Inspector General and its Programs under the Cabinet for Health Services.
