variance or waiver from rule 64F-12.015(6)(d)(1)(b)(iii). The petitioner is Organon API Inc., 2136 South Wolf Road, Des Plaines, IL 60018, Contact Person: Fred Figa, Senior Legal Counsel, Organon USA Inc., Phone: 973-325-4503, Fax: 973-325-4705.
Organon API Inc. requests a variance from Florida Administrative Code 64F-12.015(6)(d)(1)(b)(iii). That section provides that a company may be licensed by the state as a non-resident manufacturer of prescription drugs if it is "a private label distributor and the private label distributor's prescription drugs are originally manufactured and labeled for the distributor and have not been repackaged." It is Organon API Inc.'s understanding that the Board of Pharmacy has interpreted this provision as requiring that the private label distributor's name appear on the product labels. Organon API Inc.'s name does not appear on the labels of the products manufactured for it and, therefore, Organon API Inc. requests a variance from this code requirement.

- Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat (4)
-
Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire Marshal,; The Petition requested a Declaratory Statement regarding the Florida Fire Prevention Code, Florida Administrative Codes, Florida Statutes, and the School Board involving Horizon Middle School in Kissimmee, Florida, over which the Petitioner is the Authority Having Jurisdiction. The Declaratory Statement concludes that local amendments to Rule Chapter 69A-58, Florida Administrative Code, are not allowed pursuant to Sections 633.022 and 1013.12, Florida Statutes. If the effect of the Land Development Code ordinance is to amend the rule, then it is invalid. The Department’s rule does require consideration of placement of fire hydrant assemblies and does not conflict with Section 1013.33, Florida Statutes.
-
ColorAll Technologies International, Inc., Case #91600-07-FM; The Declaratory Statement concludes that NFPA 1.43.1.2.1. does not apply to outdoor spray painting operations.
-
Mark Cavinee; The petitioner had requested a declaratory statement on whether Section 1013.33(15)(a), F.S. conflicts with the Florida Fire Prevention Code, Rule 69A-58.0082(1)(a), FAC., with respect to local government approval for the placement of portable classroom facilities and whether Section 1013.371(1)(a), F.S., requires a school board to follow local land development code. The Petition for Declaratory Statement is denied because the Florida Department of Education does not have jurisdiction to implement or to interpret the statutes and rules in question and because the declaratory process does not allow for the consideration of agency action after the fact.
