PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to repeal this rule chapter.

SUMMARY: These rules are being repealed because their substance is being superseded by SWFWMD’s FARMS Program Governing Board Policy. The Facilitating Agricultural Resource Management Systems (FARMS) Program is a public/private agricultural Best Management Practice cooperative funding program. Section 373.0363(4)(b), F.S., provides that cooperative funding programs approved by the governing board are not subject to the rulemaking requirements of Chapter 120, F.S.

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.
