PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The rule is proposed for amendment to update references to incorporated material. The Office of Financial Regulation proposes to consolidate all material incorporated by reference in Chapter 69W, F.A.C. into a new proposed Rule 69W-200.002, F.A.C. that conforms with Section 120.54(1)(i), F.S. The proposed amendment would reference Rule 69W-200.002, F.A.C., where the material can be accessed via the FAR.

SUMMARY: See above.

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 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: 1) No requirement for a SERC was triggered under Section 120.541(1); and 2) The amendments will not exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), 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.
