SUBJECT AREA TO BE ADDRESSED: Chapter 62B-49, F.A.C., establishes the Joint Coastal Permit program. Activities that required both a coastal construction permit and an environmental resource permit are authorized by a single joint coastal permit. The Department proposes to amend Chapter 62B-49 and add a new rule to implement the Laws of Florida 2012-65. The Department also proposes to clarify language in order to reduce confusion in the permitting process and reduce Requests for Additional Information (RAI’s). The Department proposes to add conditions and amend portions to expedite the permitting process. Lastly, the Department proposes to amend procedures to allow for electronic submittal of applications.
