The proposed amendment will update the Guidelines and Application for the Derelict Vessel and At-Risk/Public Nuisance Vessel Removal Grant Program which are incorporated by reference in subsection (7) of Rule 68-1.003, F.A.C. The Guidelines have been updated to reflect block grant funding opportunities available to governmental entities for the rapid removal of derelict and at-risk/public nuisance vessels. The Guidelines have also been amended to set forth the block grant eligibility requirements and application process to be utilized. The Application has been updated to reflect these Guideline changes. These proposed amendments will have the effect of allowing local governments a more streamlined grant application process and result in awarded entities being able to more quickly remove derelict vessels from the waters of the State.
