NOTICE OF CORRECTION
Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 44 No. 57, March 22, 2018 issue of the Florida Administrative Register.
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. Following the submission of a lower cost regulatory alternative, a SERC has been prepared by the agency and made available to the public on the Department's website at http://www.floridahealth.gov/environmental-health/onsite-sewage/rule.html, in accordance with section 120.541, Florida Statutes.
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: The proposed rules allow for property owners who will be affected by the Department of Environmental Protection's remediation plans for Outstanding Florida Springs to select less-costly alternatives to other nitrogen-reducing systems currently approved for use in Florida. The SERC evaluates the current costs to property owners who elect nitrogen-reducing systems permitted under the existing rules and the costs to those property owners under the proposed rules. The result of that evaluation was a reduction in regulatory costs to the estimation of more than 10 million dollars.
