    RULE NO.:RULE TITLE:

    5E-2.040Pesticide Active Ingredients Subject to Supplemental Registration Fee

    PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of this rulemaking is to repeal Rule 5E-2.040, Florida Administrative Code, made obsolete by revisions to Section 487.041, Florida Statutes related to supplemental registration fees for certain pesticides that contain active ingredients for which the United States Environmental Protection Agency has established food tolerance limits which were effective July 1, 2017.

    SUMMARY: The provisions related to supplemental registration fees for certain pesticides that contain active ingredients for which the United States Environmental Protection Agency has established food tolerance limits were removed from Section 487.041, F.S. effective July 1, 2017. Specifically, Section 487.041(2), F.S. removed the requirement for the biennial publishing of the list of active ingredients for which a brand of pesticide is subject to the supplemental registration fee. This list adopted and incorporated by reference in Rule 5E-2.040, F.A.C., is no longer required by statute and this rule is obsolete.

    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.

    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.
