Published on: 10582911. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) has regulatory oversight of fish and fishery products that are received, stored, processed, marketed or sold in firms regulated by this agency. Under Section 500.02, F.S., the Department is charged with promoting state laws that are uniform with and conform to applicable federal laws to the extent practicable. As such, the Department has historically adopted the relevant portions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, applicable portions of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and the corresponding federal guidance documents where applicable. DACS has determined that the language in Rule 5K-4.010, F.A.C., is redundant to the CFR language adopted by reference in paragraph 5K-4.002(1)(d), F.A.C., (specifically CFR Title 21 Part 123) and language provided in the Food Code (CFR Title 21 guidance) as published by the U.S. Public Health Service and adopted by reference in subsection 5K-4.002(4), F.A.C. Therefore, to assure uniformity and conformity, DACS is seeking to repeal this redundant state language in administrative code.
