PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of this notice is to repeal an unnecessary rule. The Department’s process is sufficiently described in statute and case law. Therefore, Rule 69E-121.007, F.A.C., should be repealed.

SUMMARY: The proposed rule will repeal Rule 69E-121.007, F.A.C., because the rule is not necessary.

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: There is neither a cost nor an exemption from cost associated with this rule repeal. The repeal will reduce the number of unnecessary rules in the Florida Administrative Code.

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.
