NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 19, 2011, the Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers’ Compensation, received a petition for variance or waiver which stated that American Policyholders Liquidating Trust was seeking a waiver from the requirements of Rule Chapter 69L-56, Florida Administrative Code. On June 3, 2011, the Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers’ Compensation received an Amended Petition for Variance or Waiver, from American Policyholders Liquidating Trust, pursuant to Section 120.542, Florida Statutes, and Rule 28-104.002, Florida Administrative Code. The Petitioner is requesting a variance or waiver from Rules 69L-56.100, .110, .200, .210, .300, .304, .310, .320, .500, .3012, .3013, .3045, Florida Administrative Code, which sets forth requirements for filing certain workers’ compensation claims information with the Division of Workers’ Compensation via electronic data interchange rather than by submitting paper forms. American Policyholders Liquidating Trust requests the variance or waiver so that it may submit by paper the information for its one open Florida workers’ compensation claim rather than being required to submit the information via electronic data interchange. The amended petition is a clarification of the original Petition submitted on April 7, 2011, in that it specifies the precise provision of Rule Chapter 69L-56, Florida Administrative Code, of which a waiver is being sought. The Petitioner, via Amended Petition for Variance or Waiver, has filed a statement with the Department withdrawing the original petition dated April 7, 2011. Therefore, the Department will only consider the Amended Petition for Variance or Waiver filed on June 3, 2011.
Comments on this petition should be filed with: Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers’ Compensation, 200 E. Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4229, within 14 days of publication of this notice.
A copy of the Petition for Variance or Waiver may be obtained by contacting: Andrew Sabolic, Assistant Division Director, Division of Workers’ Compensation, 200 E. Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-4228 or by telephone at [phone].
