    20-13.003: Fruit Classification and Standards Committee - Membership

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Amendment to reflect the change in membership of the Florida Citrus Commission during the 2011 Legislative session, bringing the FCC membership from seven grower members and five grower/handler members to six grower members and three grower/handler members for the FCC member requirement of the Fruit Classification and Standards Committee.

    SUMMARY: Membership of the Fruit Classification and Standards Committee.

    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 amendment is housekeeping in nature, bringing the rules into compliance with changes made to Chapter 601, FS. by the 2011 Legislature.

    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.
