Purpose
The purpose of the proposed rule development (OGC No. 13-1120) is to amend Rule 62-210.370, F.A.C., to conform with Section 403.0872, F.S., as amended by the Legislature in 2013, so that annual operation fees collected by the Department from major sources of air pollution (Title V sources) will be based on the actual amount of regulated air pollutants emitted, instead of being based on the amount of regulated air pollutants allowed to be emitted by permit. The Department also is repealing subsection 62-213.900(1), F.A.C., Major Air Pollution Source Annual Emissions Fee Form (DEP Form No. 62-213.900(1), Effective 10-12-08), and, therefore, is amending subsection 62-210.900(5), F.A.C., Annual Operating Report for Air Pollutant Emitting Facility, Form and Instructions (DEP Form No. 62-210.900(5), Effective 7-3-08), to address the major air pollution source annual emissions fees.
