RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
62N-30.001: Retirement Award
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to repeal a rule identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.
SUMMARY: Repeal the rule in Chapter 62N-30, F.A.C., Retirement Award, that is no longer necessary. Rule 62N-30.001, F.A.C., Retirement Award, will be repealed due to the fact that the rule is not mandated by statute. Furthermore, Rule 62N-30.001, F.A.C., is not being used by the Department because it is outdated and unnecessary.
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 repeal of this rule is a result of the Department’s review pursuant to EO 11-01 and will not have an adverse impact or impose a regulatory cost.
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.
