    Pursuant to Section 120.541, Florida Statutes, within 21 days after publication of this report any substantially affected person may submit to an agency a good faith written proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative to a “Group 1” rule which substantially accomplishes the objectives of the law being implemented. All proposals for a lower cost regulatory alternative to the “Group 1” rules must be submitted in writing to William E. Roberts, Attorney, Office of General Counsel, at 605 East Main Street, P.O. Box 9010, Bartow, Florida, 33831, by email wroberts@citrus.state.fl.us or by fax at (877) 352-2487. The proposals must explain how the lower cost and objectives of the law will be achieved by the proposed alternative. Within 21 days upon receipt of the submission of the lower cost regulatory alternative, the agency shall prepare a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or shall revise its prior statement of estimated regulatory costs and either adopt the alternative or provide a statement of the reasons for rejecting the alternative in favor of the rule.

    If you have any questions please contact William Roberts at (863) 537-3953.
