DEPARTMENT OF CITRUS

RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:

20-41.003    Hours of Inspection and Issuance of Certificates

NOTICE OF CORRECTION

Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 44 No. 73, April 13, 2018 issue of the Florida Administrative Register.

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 Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: based on their review of the current rules governing fresh packing and the severe negative impact of Huanglongbing on the citrus industry, the fresh citrus industry has requested that the Department repeal the current rule to allow lower costs for packing and inspection fees on fresh citrus. The estimated regulatory costs of such a repeal shall not exceed the five-year, one-million-dollar threshold outlined in section 120.541(2), Florida Statutes.  

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.
