    Notice of Extension of Regulatory Plan Deadlines

    The South Florida Water Management District (District) hereby provides notice of extension of the deadline set forth in subsection 120.74(5), Fla. Stat., requiring publication of a Notice of Proposed Rule by April 1 for certain rules listed on the District’s 2015/2016 Regulatory Plan. More specifically, the deadline for publication of a Notice of Proposed Rule is extended for the following rulemaking effort:

    Rules 40E-61.011, 40E-61.020, 40E-61.021, 40E-61.023, 40E-61.024, 40E-61.031, 40E-61.041, 40E-61.042, 40E-61.051, 40E-61.101, 40E-61.201, 40E-61.301, 40E-61.321, 40E-61.331, 40E-61.351, 40E-61.381, F.A.C., and three draft new rules.

    a)Concise statement identifying issues causing the delay in rulemaking: Rules from Chapter 40E-61, F.A.C., pertaining to Works of the District Basins, were included in the District’s 2015/2016 Regulatory Plan to implement a provision in subsection 373.4595(3)(c)2.a., Fla. Stat., directing the District to adopt rules related to the Northern Everglades and Estuaries Protection Program. That statutory directive was changed during the 2016 legislative session in Chapter 2016-1, Laws of Florida. Because the 2016 law does not become effective until July 1, 2016, an extension is necessary.

    b)Applicable notice as published in the Florida Administrative Register:

    A Notice of Rule Development was published on March 23, 2007 (Vol. 33, No. 12).

    Expiration

    Pursuant to subsection 120.74(5), Fla. Stat., this extension expires on October 1, 2016.
