PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment (OGC 11-1083) 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: Federal standards requiring vehicles be manufactured to comply with exhaust noise standards supersede these rules.

OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE: None

EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES: None

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The agency has determined that repeal of these rules will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase 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. 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. This rulemaking will not require ratification by the Florida Legislature because the rules are being repealed to reduce unnecessary regulatory costs.
