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

SUMMARY: Rule 62-716.320, F.A.C., states that the grant recipient must maintain records of grant fund expenditures and assure that the records are available for Department inspection for at least 3 years. Rule 62-716.600, F.A.C., provides requirements for waste tire grant applications. Rule 62-716.900, F.A.C., provides information on where to obtain the forms used in Chapter 62-716, F.A.C. These rules are being repealed because they are unnecessary to administer the program, are not essential to meet the statutory mandate, and duplicative. Rule 62-716.600, F.A.C., is being repealed because the Solid Waste Grant Program statute no longer covers waste tire grants. Rule 62-716.900, F.A.C., is incorporated in Rules 62-716.300, 62-716.400, 62-716.450, 62-716.460, 62-716.470, 62-716.500, and 62-716.600, F.A.C. The effect of this repeal on these rule sections is minimal and these rule sections will have to be amended to remove the references to Rule 62-716.900, F.A.C.

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.
