RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
62-1.003: Forms and Instructions Used by the Department of Environmental Protection
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: This rule is no longer needed, because these forms are no longer used by the Department.
OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE: Chapter 62-1 is referenced by Rules 62-4.120, 62-17.540, 62-45.060, 62-45.110, .040, 62-113.200, 62-330.200, F.A.C.
EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES: The proposed repeals will have no substantive effect on the rule sections that cross reference chapter 62-1, F.A.C., because the forms listed in rule 62-1.003 are obsolete.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
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 forms identified in this rule are no longer used by the Department. As a result, the repeal of this rule will not have a regulatory cost to the public or the agency.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
