Summary


A new Rule 68A-9.012, F.A.C., consolidates from several existing rules into one rule the provisions concerning aircraft and human safety issues posed by wildlife on airport property. The new rule largely eliminates permitting requirements for taking of wildlife on airports for the purpose of aircraft or human safety. Consolidation of provisions addressing aircraft and human safety issues posed by wildlife from several rules into one rule also makes it easier for airport operators to understand how they may handle such issues. Other rules are repealed (68A-27.002) or modified (68A-9.010) because provisions are now included in the new rule, or modified (68A-4.002 and 68A-24.005) to be consistent with the new rule.
