Purpose


This rulemaking is to adopt and incorporate by reference a Petition for Variance Form No. LEG-R.42.00-058(09/28/10) in Rule 40D-1.659, Forms and Instructions and in Rule 40D-1.1002, Variances from Water Shortage Rules. The Form will streamline processing of requests for relief from Chapters 40D-22 and 40D-21, F.A.C., and water shortage orders issued under Chapter 40D-21, F.A.C. This rulemaking also amends Rule 40D-1.002, F.A.C. to change the staff positions authorized to act on requests for relief via a Petition for Variance in order to reflect a recent realignment of the Demand Management Program that processes Petitions for Variance.
