SUMMARY: The Commission, through its continuous rule review process, has identified that this rule is unnecessary or duplicative of existing Florida law. The list of product approval entities can and will be maintained on the Commission’s website pursuant to section 553.842(13), F.S.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:

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 rule repeal will have no cost impact.

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.
