Summary


Repeal of Rule 62-341.603, F.A.C., “General Permit for Non-nursery Cultivation and Wild Collection of Aquatic Plants.” This noticed general permit references outdated rules of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. Non-nursery cultivation and wild collection of aquatic plants is now administered by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services under Sections 369.20 through 369.255, F.S., and Chapter 5B-64, F.A.C. The Department’s records indicate no one has ever used this NGP; it has been substantively replaced by the exemptions in Sections 403.813(1)(r) and (u), F.S. The rule may be repealed because it is outdated and unnecessary. OTHER RULES INCORPORATING THIS RULE: There are no references to Rule 62-341.603, F.A.C., in other rules of the Department. EFFECT ON THOSE OTHER RULES: The rule proposed for repeal is not incorporated by other chapters or rules and therefore, the repeal will not affect any other rules.
