PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment is to repeal Rule 62-17.241, F.A.C.

SUMMARY: Rule 62-17.241, F.A.C., directs release of a site from the terms and conditions of a certification order upon a finding that such site or portion thereof has been abandoned by the applicant.  Deletion of this rule would ensure the Licensee would be required to comply with all applicable non-procedural requirements of state and local agencies related to permanent shutdown or decommissioning of a certified facility.

OTHER RULES INCORPORATING RULE 62-17.241, F.A.C: There are no other rules incorporating this rule.

EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES: There will be no effect on other rules.

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: repeal of these rules will not have an adverse impact or increase regulatory costs on any entity.

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.
