68A-4.002: Possession of Gun While Using a Light Prohibited
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this rule change is to make the rule consistent with new Rule 68A-9.012, F.A.C., (Taking Wildlife on Airport Property).
SUMMARY: A new Rule 68A-9.012, F.A.C., consolidates from several existing rules into one rule the provisions concerning aircraft and human safety issues posed by wildlife on airport property. The new rule largely eliminates permitting requirements for taking of wildlife on airports for the purpose of aircraft or human safety. Consolidation of provisions addressing aircraft and human safety issues posed by wildlife from several rules into one rule also makes it easier for airport operators to understand how they may handle such issues. Other rules are repealed (68A-27.002) or modified (68A-9.010) because provisions are now included in the new rule, or modified (68A-4.002 and 68A-24.005) to be consistent with the new rule.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The agency has determined that this rule will ____or will not _X__have an impact on small business. A SERC has ____ or has not _X__been prepared by the agency.
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.
