RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
69O-164.030: Application of Rule 69O-164.020, F.A.C., to Various Product Designs.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Repeals Rule 69O-164.030, Florida Administrative Code.

SUMMARY: The Office of Insurance Regulation has recently conducted a comprehensive review of all agency rules to determine whether any of its rules should be modified or eliminated. As a result of this process, it has been determined that Rule 69O-164.030, Florida Administrative Code, is unnecessary and should be repealed.

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: Agency personnel familiar with the subject matter of the rule repeal have performed an economic analysis of the rule repeal that shows that the rule repeal is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the State economy in excess of the criteria established in Section 120.541(2)(a), Florida Statutes.

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.
