PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment is to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-211 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.

SUMMARY: Rule 62S-3.001, F.A.C. provides definitions for terms that are used in Chapter 62S-3, F.A.C. Rule 62S-3.002, F.A.C. provides guidelines for operation, activities, and recreations on the land managed by the Office of Greenways and Trails. Rule 62S-3.003, F.A.C. specifies how fines are determined and applied on lands managed by the Office of Greenways and Trails when any person violates the rules found in Chapter 62S-3, F.A.C. These rules are being repealed because they are unnecessary and duplicative of rules found in Chapter 62D-2, F.A.C. which governs the management of lands by the Division of Recreation and Parks.

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: repeal of these rules will not have an adverse impact or increase regulatory costs on any entity.

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.
