    The Department proposed to amend the rule to clarify the difference between a digital certificate and a digital signature, as well as correct some citations and term names within the rule.

    (1) through (9) No change.

    (10) Until a Certification Authority can submit the audit required in paragraph (2)(d) or June 30, 2007, whichever is earlier, the Department will provisionally list a Certification Authority requesting to be listed on the Department’s website www.doh.state.fl.us/mqa as a Certification Authority, provided that the Certification authority submits the audit required by paragraph (2)(d) by June 15, 2007, and otherwise operates in accordance with the requirements of this rule. A digital certification issued by a provisionally listed Certification Authority must expire and be revoked on or before June 30, 2007. Any provisionally listed Certification Authority that has not submitted the audit required in paragraph (2)(d) by June 15, 2007, will be removed from the provisional list and may not operate as a Certification Authority under this section. Upon submission of the audit required by paragraph (2)(d), the Certification Authority will be listed without the provisional designation.
