The purpose of the proposed rule amendment is to establish in rule passing scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test® (FCAT) that are equivalent to the current passing scores required for students who entered high school at the time the High School Competency Test (HSCT) testing requirement was in place. Senate Bill 1908, passed by the 2008 Legislature, provides authority to the State Board of Education to adopt by rule passing scores on a new statewide assessment that are statistically equivalent to the passing scores required on an old statewide assessment. Once the equivalent passing scores on the new statewide assessment are adopted, the administration of the old assessment may be discontinued. With regard to this rule, the “old” statewide assessment is the HSCT and the “new” statewide assessment is the FCAT. The effect of this change will be to allow the Department of Education to discontinue the administration of the HSCT, effective with the approval of the final proposed rule including the equivalent scores.
-
The purpose of these rule amendments is to modify the Commission’s Reef Fish Rule to become consistent with federal interim reef fish regulations in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council developed Reef Fish Amendment 30B that contains regulatory actions for gag grouper, which is undergoing overfishing, and red grouper that will become effective in 2009 after approval by the Secretary of Commerce. Meanwhile, the Council requested that the National Marine Fisheries Service implement by January 1, 2009, an Interim Rule to address the overfishing status of gag grouper. Components of that Interim Rule that would affect Florida fishers are 1) a two-fish recreational bag limit for gag grouper, and 2) a February 1-March 31 closure to recreational gag grouper harvest.
One final rule amendment that is not federal consistency with the federal Interim Rule is the increase recreational bag limit of red grouper from one-fish to two-fish. This bag limit increase will be implemented in federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico by Amendment 30B, and it is the intent of the state of Florida to immediately implement that increase in state waters because red grouper stocks in the Gulf of Mexico have recovered.
The effect of these rule amendments is that federal and state regulations will be consistently applied in the Gulf of Mexico, although there will be a slight difference for a short period of time. Where practicable, this minimizes confusion with the public and aids enforceability. A further effect will be to remove inconsistency in state regulations regarding reef fish size limits as applied to commercial and recreational harvest.
-
The purpose of this rule amendment is to modify the Commission’s Reef Fish Rule to become consistent with federal reef fish regulations for Gulf of Mexico greater amberjack, which is overfished and undergoing overfishing, and gray triggerfish, which is undergoing overfishing. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council developed regulatory actions for greater amberjack and gray triggerfish that became effective on August 4, 2008, which includes an increase in the recreational minimum size limit of greater amberjack from 28 inches fork length to 30 inches fork length, and the increase in the recreational and commercial minimum size limit for gray triggerfish from 12 inches fork length to 14 inches fork length.
The effect of this rule amendment is that federal and state regulations will be consistently applied in the Gulf of Mexico. Where practicable, this minimizes confusion with the public and aids enforceability. A further effect will be to remove inconsistency in state regulations regarding reef fish size limits as applied to commercial and recreational harvest.
