The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit simplified procedures for obtaining Department approval for purchase of preventive services from a public agency as required under 18 NYCRR 423.2. These simplified procedures will help to reduce the administrative burden on local districts while still providing minimum information to monitor expenditure of preventive services funding in the public sector. This memorandum supersedes my January 22, 1985 letter to Commissioners which outlined extensive criteria for obtaining such approval. These simplified procedures will also be included in an upcoming update to the Preventive Services Program Manual.
