7 Pa. Code § 17a.2
This chapter sets forth interim guidelines establishing standards and procedures for approving those optional training programs that require the Department's approval under section 4(g) of the act (3 P. S. § 456.4(g)). The act requires optional training programs to address a wide variety of subjects-including several subjects with respect to which the Department has no experiential basis. Although it is the objective of this chapter to establish a procedure by which optional training programs can be approved, this procedure is also intended to provide the Department with the experience necessary to develop more detailed regulations on the subject at some later date. The Department intends these interim guidelines to be flexible-requiring only that an optional training program meet the specific training requirements in section 4(a)-(c) of the act.
