Summary


The proposed rule will delineate minor rule violations as defined in Section 120.695 F.S., and establish a notice of noncompliance as the initial enforcement response to minor violations. The proposal will also clarify the process by which feed registrants must reimburse consumers for feed determined deficient by certified laboratory analyses, and will update the associated forms FDACS-13255 Notice of Deficiency Payment and FDACS-13256 Receipt of Deficiency Payment. Additionally, the proposed rule will enumerate standard enforcement responses for failure to comply with feed sampling/analysis and distribution reporting requirements as outlined in Rule 5E-3.003 and 5E-3.020, and establish enforcement matrices to ensure the consistency of monetary penalties issued in response to specific deficiencies involving sampling, reporting, or product safety.
