PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Chapter 73A-3 implements Section 288.1254, Florida Statutes, which sunset on July 1, 2016, with the provision that tax credits certified may be awarded and carried forward. The Department is seeking to repeal Rules 73A-3.002, .003, and .004, which pertain to the application, qualification, and certification process and are no longer necessary.

SUMMARY: The rules to be repealed are no longer necessary as the statute they implement is no longer in effect.

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.

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.
