64E-6.030: Fees
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The proposed changes to Chapter 64E-6, Florida Administrative Code, address shortfall in fee revenues for services provided in the Onsite Sewage Program. Review of fee revenue versus expenditures for the 2006/2007 fiscal year found that on average revenue covers only 62% of expenditures. These rule amendments reflect a previous agreement and should produce a 25% increase in revenue overall for services in the program.
SUMMARY: Areas addressed include fees for services in the Onsite Sewage Program.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS: No Statement of Estimated Regulatory Cost was prepared.
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.
