Summary


This rulemaking to amend subsection 40D-1.002(2), F.A.C., will delegate authority from the Governing Board to designated staff to act on requests for variances and waivers to Chapters 40D-21, F.A.C., Water Shortage Plan, and 40D-22, F.A.C., Year-Round Water Conservation Measures. The delegation will streamline the variance and waiver processes under those rule chapters. The rulemaking will add the Demand Management Coordinator and the Water Use Permit Program Director as staff authorized to grant variances and waivers and will also update the titles of staff positions already delegated authority to act on requests for variances and waivers from both rules, remove the reference to the Assistant Executive Director (a position that no longer exists) and replace the reference to the Records and Data Director with one for the head of the department that Records and Data has been merged into (Regulation Performance Management).
