(a)
					 The rates shall be based on the allowable costs inclusive of allowable staff
					 time costs associated with the Work Activity Programs only and shall not
					 include expenses for other programs such as Activity Centers, residential
					 programs, camps, or transportation to and from the consumer's home. Staff cost
					 will be determined by a semi-annual two-week time study.
(b) The Department shall establish rates
					 which reflect the reasonable cost of both an overall habilitation service and
					 each specific allowable service, activity, or administrative cost comprising
					 that overall service. Direct costs related to services, provided in the areas
					 of shipping/receiving, or business operations, such as stores, shall not be
					 included in the computation of the Habilitation Service cost, but rates paid
					 for consumers receiving services in these areas shall be based on the costs and
					 consumer attendance of the primary work activity operation.
(c) For new Work Activity Programs, which
					 have insufficient historical fiscal and consumer data, rates shall be set
					 according to Section
					 4861
					 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
(d) When an established habilitation service
					 provider who has a historical period of costs for Work Activity Program
					 services corresponding to that of service providers already vendorized requests
					 a new vendorization, the Department shall:
(1)
					 Base the rate on all allowable historical period costs relating to all cost
					 centers, except those for other vendorized programs, and on the total
					 attendance of all consumers served through those cost centers in the historical
					 period, since the service provider cannot have served Habilitation consumers in
					 the historical period; and
(2)
					 Determine if the computed rate is comparable (within one standard deviation of
					 the mean) to those of service providers already vendorized that are similar in
					 size, area, and consumer services.
