Purpose


61G20-3.008(4)(a)3. provides for the approval of lumber grading or inspection agencies which have been approved in accordance with the United States Department of Commerce's Voluntary Product Standard DOC PS20-99, which pertains to American softwood lumber. Products which meet the Department of Commerce's standards, however, are deemed approved pursuant to 61G20-3.003(1)(a), F.A.C., which effectively means that certification agencies for these products are unnecessary and superfluous. Accordingly, there are no certification agencies currently approved by the Florida Building Commission to certify these products. Since this rule provision is unnecessary, the Commission intends to remove it.
