RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

14-15.0081Toll Facilities Description and Toll Rate Schedule

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The rule is being amended to update the toll schedule.

SUMMARY: The amendment to this rule incorporates the toll rate schedule. A footnote is added to the Pinellas Bayway System toll schedule providing for an annual commuter pass.

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: the rule does not impose a regulatory cost. Toll rates are not being increased beyond the inflation adjustment authorized by 338.165, F.S. and use of toll roads is at the driver’s option.

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.
