(1) FRTP will regulate and periodically visit each Sponsor site to ensure compliance and quality assurance with these administrative rules, Florida Statutes, and compliance with all applicable MSF or ESC Agreements and course requirements. FRTP staff and contractors are authorized by MSF and ESC to act on their behalf to insure program compliance. The FRTP staff or representatives under these administrative rules shall:

(a) Conduct announced or unannounced site visits, or place unannounced rider(s) in a class.

(b) Check the range for size and safety compliance. If there is an immediate safety issue the range shall be shut down. A formal report shall be made on the Quality Assurance Audit Form, HSMV Form 92786 (10/2010), incorporated by reference, copies of which may be obtained from the FRTP website (http://motorcycles.flhsmv.gov) under "Forms, " or by contacting the Florida Rider Training Program, 2900 Apalachee Parkway, Neil Kirkman Building, MS #88, Room A226, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0571.

(c) During a site visit, all representatives of the Sponsor shall cooperate with FRTP's representative(s), and, upon request, shall exhibit all records, instructional aids, manuals, or such other materials as necessary for the review.

(2) The FRTP representative visiting the Sponsors will produce a report on the Quality Assurance Audit Form, HSMV Form 92786 (10/2010), incorporated by reference, copies of which may be obtained from the FRTP website (http://motorcycles.flhsmv.gov) under "Forms, " or by contacting the Florida Rider Training Program, 2900 Apalachee Parkway, Neil Kirkman Building, MS #88, Room A226, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0571. A copy of the report shall be provided to the Sponsor.

(a) Sponsors shall be responsible for ensuring any deficiencies noted in the report are remedied and the remedy reported to FRTP in the time allotted.

(b) On the first observation the FRTP representative documents in a comprehensive report what they saw and why it was viewed as a problem. This report is submitted to FRTP for review. A notice will be provided to the RiderCoach and Sponsor by either the Program Manager or Regional Coordinator. The RiderCoach and Sponsor will be allowed to provide explanations and reasoning as to their actions. If the explanation and/or reasoning is/are acceptable, then no further action will be deemed necessary. If the explanations and reasoning so warrant, either the Regional Coordinator or Program Manager will advise the RiderCoach and Sponsor of the necessary corrective measure(s) to be implemented by them to correct it.

(3) In order to better facilitate site visits, the Sponsor shall provide the Department a quarterly Rider Course schedule no later than the 15th of the month preceding the new quarter, listing the dates of the classes and the names of the RiderCoaches who will be teaching on those dates. The course schedule shall be sent to FRTP-Schedules@flhsmv.gov. The Sponsor shall notify the Department of any changes in course schedules (a monthly submission is permissible).
