68D-18.004: Special Purpose Marker Buoys
68D-18.005: Restricted Areas
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The rules have been rendered obsolete due to statutory changes due to the passage of Chapter 2009-86 (CS/CS/HB/1423), Laws of Florida, which modified Section 327.46, Florida Statutes, and will alleviate duplicate language currently proposed within Chapter 68D-21, F.A.C., (Approval of Local Ordinances Establishing Boating Restricted Areas) and amendments to Chapter 68D-23 (Uniform Waterway Markers in Florida Waters).
SUMMARY: Rule 68D-18.004, F.A.C., required that special purpose marker buoys shall be a certain shape and size to mark special marine events and established a requirement to make such a request that is similar as waterway markers permitted pursuant to Chapter 68D-23 and Rule 68D-18.005, F.A.C., prohibited the placement of regulatory markers in or over the Florida Intracoastal Waterway without a permit from the Division of Law Enforcement and required such requests to be made by application and accompanying documentation.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: The agency has determined that these rules will not have an impact on small business. A SERC has not 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.
