Purpose


To establish, in response to a November 16, 2018, Notice of Unadopted Rule from David H. Sherry, Rebecca R. Sherry, and John S. Donovan, regarding the Department’s East Pass Inlet Management plan (July 24, 2013), that consistency with an inlet management plan developed by the Department is no longer required under the provisions of the rule chapter. Instead, applicants seeking a Joint Coastal Permit will need to provide information that, for activities to be conducted that are associated with an inlet, including management activities, demonstrates that the proposed project or activity will comply with the requirements of Section 161.142, Florida Statute. The application form adopted by reference in Rule 62B-49.005(1), F.A.C., is by separate Notice of Rule Development, proposed to be amended to be consistent with rule amendments being developed for certain provisions of Rule Chapter 62B-41, F.A.C.
