The purpose of the proposed rule development is to update the program rule to include provisions that: ensure consistency within the rule and Florida Statutes 374 and current West Coast Inland Navigation District (“District”) policy; add new definitions and forms; clarify the rule provisions for project applications, eligibility, administration and accountability; include new sections on Scope, Forms, Disaster Relief Projects, Real Property Acquisitions, and Acknowledgment; include new sections specific to funding eligibility for Public Navigation Projects, Boater Recreation Projects, Environmental Education Projects, Boater Safety and Education Projects and Marine Law Enforcement Projects. The effect of the rule development is to implement changes in the administration of the District’s Waterway Development Program that will assist the District and program applicants in the review and evaluation of applications submitted pursuant to the rule.
