On June 17th, 2008, the Department of Environmental Protection recieved a petitioned for variance from rule 62-4.244, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C). The Department gives notice of its intent to grant a variance under Section 403.201, Florida Statutes (F.S.), from the provisions of Rule 62-4.244(5)(c), F.A.C., to Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management, to allow a temporary mixing zone of 200 meters offshore and 1,000 meters downcurrent (and 850 meters in the southern end in the vicinity of hardbottom) within an area of Class III Waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The variance is associated with the Juno Beach Nourishment project (File No. 0276415-001-JC). The activity is located at Juno Beach between FDEP reference monuments R-26 and R-38. A person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department's proposed action may petition for an administrative hearing in accordance with sections 120.569 and 120.57, Florida Statutes. The petition must contain the information set forth below and must be filed (received by the clerk) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000.
Mediation under Section 120.573 of the Florida Statutes is not available.
Because the administrative hearing process is designed to redetermine final agency action on the application, the filing of a petition for an administrative hearing may result in a modification of the agency action or even a denial of the application. If a sufficient petition for an administrative hearing or request for an extension of time to file a petition is timely filed, this agency action automatically becomes only proposed agency action on the application, subject to the result of the administrative review process. Accordingly, the applicant is advised not to commence construction or other activities in accordance with this variance until the deadlines noted below for filing a petition for an administrative hearing, or request for an extension of time has expired.
Under rule 62-110.106(4), F.A.C., a person whose substantial interests are affected by the Department’s action may also request an extension of time to file a petition for an administrative hearing. The Department may, for good cause shown, grant the request for an extension of time. Requests for extension of time must be filed with the Office of General Counsel of the Department at 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000, before the applicable deadline. A timely request for extension of time shall toll the running of the time period for filing a petition until the request is acted upon.
In the event that a timely and sufficient petition for an administrative hearing is filed, other persons whose substantial interests will be affected by the outcome of the administrative process have the right to petition to intervene in the proceeding. Any intervention will be only at the discretion of the presiding judge upon the filing of a motion in compliance with rule 28-106.205, F.A.C.
In accordance with rules 28-106.111(2) and 62-110.106(3)(a)(1), F.A.C., petitions for an administrative hearing by the applicant must be filed within 14 days of receipt of this written notice. Petitions filed by any persons other than the applicant, and other than those entitled to written notice under section 120.60(3), F.S., must be filed within 14 days of publication of the notice or within 14 days of receipt of the written notice, whichever occurs first. Under section 120.60(3), F.S., however, any person who has asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within 14 days of receipt of such notice, regardless of the date of publication.
The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of filing. The failure of any person to file a petition for an administrative hearing within the appropriate time period shall constitute a waiver of that person’s right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under sections 120.569 and 120.57, F.S.
In accordance with rule 28-106.301, F.A.C., a petition that disputes the material facts on which the Department’s action is based must contain the following information: (a) The name and address of each agency affected and each agency’s file or identification number, if known; (b) The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner; the name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s representative, if any, which shall be the address for service purposes during the course of the proceeding; and an explanation of how the petitioner’s substantial interests are or will be affected by the agency determination; (c) A statement of when and how the petitioner received notice of the agency decision; (d) A statement of all disputed issues of material fact. If there are none, the petition must so indicate; (e) A concise statement of the ultimate facts alleged, including the specific facts that the petitioner contends warrant reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action; (f) A statement of the specific rules or statutes that the petitioner contends require reversal or modification of the agency’s proposed action, including an explanation of how the alleged facts relate to the specific rules or statutes; and (g) A statement of the relief sought by the petitioner, stating precisely the action that the petitioner wishes the agency to take with respect to the agency’s proposed action.
A petition that does not dispute the material facts on which the Department’s action is based shall state that no such facts are in dispute and otherwise shall contain the same information as set forth above, as required by rule 28-106.301, F.A.C. Under sections 120.569(2)(c) and (d), F.S., a petition for administrative hearing must be dismissed by the agency if the petition does not substantially comply with the above requirements or is untimely filed.
This action is final and effective on the date filed with the Clerk of the Department unless a petition is filed in accordance with the above. Upon the timely filing of a petition this order will not be effective until further order of the Department.
This variance constitutes an order of the Department. The applicant has the right to seek judicial review of the order under section 120.68, F.S., by the filing of a notice of appeal under rule 9.110 of the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure with the Clerk of the Department in the Office of General Counsel, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399 3000; and by filing a copy of the notice of appeal accompanied by the applicable filing fees with the appropriate district court of appeal.

This is the Final Public Hearing on the adoption of proposed rules 69V-40.002, 69V-40.031, 69V-.051, 69V-40.100, 69V-40.200, 69V-40.220, Florida Administrative Code, published on September 26, 2008, in Volume 34, Number 39, of the Florida Administrative Weekly. No changes have been made to the proposed rules.
The rules are being amended to increase fingerprint processing fees from $42.25 to $43.25. The current fee of $42.25 represents $23 charged by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for a state criminal history check and $19.25 charged by the U.S. Department of Justice for a national criminal history check. During the 2008 regular session, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 1792. This bill was signed into law (Chapter 2008-112, Laws of Florida) by Governor Crist on June 10, 2008. Effective July 1, 2008, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will be increasing its fingerprint processing fee to $24 as required by Section 1 of Chapter 2008-112, Laws of Florida, which amends Section 943.053(3)(b), Florida Statutes. Also during the regular 2008 legislative session, the Florida Legislature passed House Bill 5049, which amended Section 494.0033, F.S., to reduce the mortgage broker license application fee from $200 to $195. This bill was signed into law (Chapter 2008-135, Laws of Florida) by Governor Crist. Form OFR-494-03, Application for Licensure as a Mortgage Broker, which is incorporated by reference in Rule 69V-40.002, F.A.C., is amended to reflect the reduction in the license application fee.
