NOTICE OF EXTENSION UNDER SECTION 120.74(5), FLORIDA STATUTES
FOR RULE CHAPTERS 62B-33 AND 62B-34
In accordance with Section 120.74(5), F.S., the Department extends the April 1 deadline to publish Notice of Proposed Rule for Chapter 62B-33, F.A.C. and for Chapter 62B-34, F.A.C. Notice of Rule Development for Rule Chapter 62B-33, F.A.C., was published on June 9, 2014, which included notice that the general permits currently established in Chapter 62B-34, F.A.C., were being re-promulgated in Rule Chapter 62B-33, F.A.C. Workshops on draft rule language were held on June 23, 2014 and February 12, 2015. Based on numerous comments received during and following the workshops, the Department determined that a different approach to revising the rules was appropriate, and also that general permits should be retained within Chapter 62B-34, F.A.C. Additional time is needed to consider appropriate rule language.
