PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.

SUMMARY: The entire Chapter 62-773, F.A.C., Reimbursement for Petroleum Contamination Site Cleanup, while originally mandated by Florida Statutes, is no longer necessary. Per subsections 376.3071(12), F.S., and 376.30711(1), F.S., the reimbursement program ended for new claims after January 3, 1997. All reimbursement claims have been processed and all payments have been made.

OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE:

Paragraph 62-769.800(4)(a), F.A.C., Abandoned Tank Restoration Program

EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES:

Paragraph 62-769.800(4)(a), F.A.C., Abandoned Tank Restoration Program. No effect with repealing Chapter 62-773, F.A.C., because Paragraph 62-769.800(4)(c), F.A.C., is also scheduled for repeal.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: This rule chapter is being repealed because this program ended January 3, 1997, pursuant to Sections 376.3071(12) and 376.30711, F.S. There are no more reimbursement applications pending before the agency and all claims have been paid. Additionally, there are no costs associated with this repeal. Therefore, the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding the statement of estimated regulatory costs, or to provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative, must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
