SUMMARY: Repeal of the following rule in Chapter 62-344, F.A.C., Delegation of the Environmental Resource Program to Local Governments, that the Department has determined is obsolete or otherwise no longer necessary in accordance with Executive Order 11-01.
Repeal Rule 62-344.900, which incorporates by reference a form that is only a suggested format and is not needed. This entire rule section can be repealed.
OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE: There are no other rules or chapters that incorporate Rule 62-344.900, F.A.C.
EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES: This rule is not incorporated by other rules or chapters; therefore, this repeal will have no effect on other rules.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: The rule is not required by statute and is being repealed to reduce unnecessary regulatory costs.
