PURPOSE AND EFFECT: For Rule 61G10-11.002, F.A.C., to repeal this unnecessary rule; for Rule 61G10-11.010, F.A.C., to modify requirements regarding licensee’s seal.

SUMMARY: Repeal of Rule 61G10-11.002, F.A.C. and modification of Rule 61G10-11.010, F.A.C., seal requirements.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COST 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: For Rules 61G10-11.002 and 61G10-11.010, F.A.C., during discussion of the economic impact of this rule at its Board meeting, the Board, based upon the expertise and experience of its members, determined that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) was not necessary and that the rule will not require ratification by the Legislature.  No person or interested party submitted additional information regarding the economic impact at that time; for Rule 61G10-11.010, F.A.C., the amendment will allow different options for seals.

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.
