PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this rulemaking will be to repeal Chapter 40C-22,F.A.C., because the general permit for fire protection will be converted into an exemption and the general permit for short-term construction dewatering will be converted into a no-fee noticed general permit by rule, as part of the related CUPcon rulemaking to amend Chapter 40C-2, F.A.C.

SUMMARY: The proposed amendment will repeal each rule in this chapter.

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 District has completed for the Governor’s Office of Fiscal Accountability and Regulatory Reform (OFARR) the “Is a SERC Required?” form and prepared a summary of the proposed rule amendments, which are both available upon request. Based on the completed “Is a SERC Required?” forms and summaries and the analyses performed by the District in preparing and completing those documents, the proposed rule amendments are not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), F.S.

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.
