Petitioner’s Name: Kelly Sloan

Date Petition Filed: February 12, 2014

Rule No.: 68E-1.004

Nature of the rule for which variance or waiver is sought: Petitioner is requesting a variance or waiver from the requirements outlined in paragraphs 68E-1.004(5)(a) and 68E-1.004(5)(b), F.A.C., relating to documentation of marine turtle nest relocation experience requirements; the request is based on inconsistencies between the manner in which the Petitioner’s out-of-state experience has been documented and the manner of documentation required in the above cited rule paragraphs.

Date Petition Published in the Florida Administrative Register: February 13, 2014

General Basis for Agency Decision: Petitioner’s documentation of experience not only demonstrates that petitioner has complied with the purposes of the underlying statute, but also complies with the substantive portion of subsection 68E-1.004(5), F.A.C. – the requisite amount of experience. The Petition also demonstrated a substantial hardship or violation of principles of fairness.
