Purpose


The purpose and effect of the proposed rule development is to incorporate the Nongame Wildlife, Fish and Wildlife Research Institute, and the Florida State Wildlife grants programs’ application forms by reference for consistency with Chapter 120, F.S. Additionally, we plan on adding the Derelict Vessel Removal Grant Program rule language in full to move it from the current location in Rule 68D-16.029 to Rule 68-1.003, F.A.C., for consistency and ease of location, and subsequently repealing the language in Rule 68D-16.029, F.A.C. Finally, we will be amending the State Wildlife Grant program guidelines that are incorporated by reference. The amendment will update the date of the guidelines referenced in the rule from March 2007 to September 2008.
