They are requesting to utilize bathrooms located within an adjacent licensed food service establishment under the same ownership.
  • a Routine Variance for paragraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code and Section 5-203.13, 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2001 FDA Food Code and subsection 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, from Subway #46725, Ft. Myers, Florida. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that at least one service sink is provided for the cleaning of mops or similar cleaning tools and the disposal of mop water and that dishwashing facilities are provided for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils. They are requesting to utilize a mopsink and dishwashing facility located within another regulated establishment.
  • waiver or variance filed by Mittalben V. Patel, M.D., from Rule 64B8-4.018, F.A.C., with regard to the requirement for residency in an ACGME approved clerkship. Comments on this petition should be filed with the: Board of Medicine, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C03, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3053, within 14 days of publication of this notice.
  • A Petition for Waiver of paragraphs 11B-35.001(3)(a), (b) and 11B-35.0021(6)(a), F.A.C., was received from Santa Fe Community College and Sgt. Terrence Stevens, on September 21, 2010. Notice of the Petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 36, No. 40, October 8, 2010. The rule requires high liability instructors to submit certain paperwork, be reviewed by a field specialist, and be entered into the CJSTC’s ATMS database prior to instructing CJSTC firearms classes. Santa Fe Community College hired Sgt. Terrence Stevens, a certified officer who had passed all coursework requirements to become a high liability firearms instructor, and assigned him to teach a firearms course to a basic recruit class without having his administrative paperwork completed. As soon as the school became aware of the deficiency, the CJSTC field representative was called and this rule waiver request was initiated. The Petitioner college stated that Sgt. Stevens met all the requirements for correctly teaching the firearms course at issue, but failed to complete all administrative aspects of certification as outlined in the rule. Sgt. Stevens was at all times qualified to instruct the course, he had only failed to complete administrative acts that would ensure he was fully certified as a firearms instructor. The Commission found that the Petitioner’s situation is unique. The Petitioner demonstrated that the strict application of the Commission’s rules in this case would violate the principles of fairness resulting in the need to re-qualify many working officers who suffered no disability in training as a result of the failure to complete the administrative aspects of the rule. The Commission found that the purposes of the underlying statute, to ensure that criminal justice training is carried out uniformly throughout all Commission-certified training schools, would be served by permitting a waiver of a clerical, as opposed to tactical training, requirement. Accordingly, the Commission granted Petitioner’s request for a waiver of paragraphs 11B-35.001(3)(a), (b) and 11B-35.0021(6)(a), F.A.C., on October 28, 2010, at its regularly scheduled Business Agenda meeting in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
  • Amy Weiss, seeking a variance or waiver of paragraph 61H1-28.0052(1)(b), Florida Administrative Code, that requires candidates to pass all four test sections of the CPA Examination within a rolling eighteen-month period, which begins on the NASBA grade release date for the first test section(s) passed.
  • Tavara Andrews, seeking a variance or waiver of paragraph 61H1-28.0052(1)(b), Florida Administrative Code, that requires candidates to pass all four test sections of the CPA Examination within a rolling eighteen-month period, which begins on the NASBA grade release date for the first test section(s) passed.
  • Tracee M. Bomberger, seeking a variance or waiver of subsection 61G1-22.002(1), F.A.C., which requires that applicants for licensure obtain the diversified interior design experience required by Section 481.209(2), F.S., with a registered interior designer (any state) or registered architect (any state) performing interior design services, unlicensed interior designer (outside of Florida) who has passed the NCIDQ (National Council for Interior Design Qualification) or the AID (American Institute of Designers) examination, or unlicensed interior designer (outside of Florida) who would have met the six-year experience grandfather requirement of Section 21, Chapter 88-383, Laws of Florida.
  • The Department received a Petition for a Routine Variance on October 14, 2010 for paragraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code and Section 5-203.13, 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 4-301.12(A), 2001 FDA Food Code and subsection 61C-4.010(5), Florida Administrative Code, from Subway, Kissimmee, Florida. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirements that at least one service sink is provided for the cleaning of mops or similar cleaning tools and the disposal of mop water and that dishwashing facilities for manually washing, rinsing and sanitizing equipment and utensils are provided. They are requesting to utilize a mopsink and dishwashing facility located within another establishment. The initial petition published in Vol. 36, No. 43 on October 29, 2010. After a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the dishwashing facility (including handwash sink) and mop sink located within Osceola Regional Medical Center Main Kitchen are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner and provided with hot and cold running water under pressure and are available during all hours of operation. If the the hours of operation or ownership of Osceola Regional Medical Center Main Kitchen changes, an updated signed agreement for use of the dishwashing facility and mop sink is required immediately.
  • Variance from subsections 64E-9.018(2) and (3), Florida Administrative Code, from Jill E. White, on behalf of Starfish Aquatics Institute, 1607 North Market Street, Champaign, Illinois. Subsections 64E-9.018(2) and (3), Florida Administrative Code, prescribes that course and material approval by the Department are contingent on length of time a classroom topic is conducted. The Petitioner requests a variance from the rule to allow the Petitioner to provide a pool service technician course that is not completely done in a classroom but rather a portion is completed via internet. Comments on this Petition should be filed with: Sam Power, Agency Clerk, Department of Health, Office of General Counsel, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, BIN #A02, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1703, within 14 days of this notice.
