64E-6.021: Issuance of Registration Certificates and Renewal

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on July 14, 2008, the Department of Health has issued an order.

The order was issued in response to a petition for a variance filed on June 11, 2008, by Roxanne Groover, representing Florida Onsite Wastewater Association, regarding the “2008 Convention and Trade Show”. Petitioner sought a variance from subsection 64E-6.021(5), Florida Administrative Code, which requires approval of continuing education courses to be in accordance with department policy requiring course approval applications to be received by the department at least 60 days prior to the course date. Notice of the petition was published in the June 20, 2008, edition of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

The Department found that the Petitioner demonstrated that the underlying intent of the statute could be achieved by alternative means and that strict application of the rules would create a substantial hardship in the Petitioner’s particular circumstance. Therefore, pursuant to the requirements of Section 120.542(2), Florida Statutes, the Department GRANTED Petitioner’s request for a variance.

A copy of the Order may be obtained by contacting: Agency Clerk, Department of Health, Office of the General Counsel, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin A02, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1734.
