- Proposed Rules (36)
-
A new Chapter 62-346, F.A.C. is proposed to implement the new Environmental Resource Permitting Program (ERP) within the geographical area of the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD), generally referred to as the “Panhandle.” This rule is authorized and mandated by Section 373.4145, F.S., as amended by Chapter 2006-208, Laws of Florida. This rule has been developed jointly by the Department and the NWFWMD in accordance with Section 373.4145, F.S., but will be adopted by the Department and may be implemented by the NWFWMD without further adoption pursuant to Section 120.54, F.S.
This rule is written to address the phased approach to rulemaking as provided in Section 373.4145(1), F.S. That section requires the first phase of rulemaking, as reflected in the proposed Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., and herein called the “Phase I rules,” to be limited to regulating the construction, operation, alteration, maintenance, abandonment, and removal of stormwater management systems. Section 373.4145(1)(a), F.S., provides that the Phase I rules are intended to update existing stormwater rules within the Panhandle through improving water quality and flood protection, while at the same time being based on the least restrictive stormwater quality and quantity measures and criteria adopted in the rules of the Suwannee River, St. Johns River, Southwest Florida, and South Florida Water Management Districts, while taking into consideration the differing physical and natural characteristics of the area. The Phase I rules do not govern the regulation of dredge and fill activities. These activities will continue to be regulated under Chapter 62-312, F.A.C. until the “Phase II rules” are adopted under Section 373.4145(1)(b), F.S. The Phase II rules can be implemented no sooner than January 1, 2008. Therefore, in addition to any permits required under Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., any activities involving stormwater management systems that also involve dredging or filling in surface waters of the state (as defined in Rule 62-312.030, F.A.C.) must obtain applicable separate authorization under Chapter 62-312, F.A.C., Chapter 62-25, F.A.C., the existing stormwater rule in the Panhandle, will continue to apply to activities that are grandfathered under Section 373.4145(6), F.S., but a separate permit under Chapter 62-25, F.A.C., will not be required for activities that are regulated under Chapter 62-346, F.A.C.
Section 373.4145(3), F.S., provides that “The rules adopted under subsection (1), as applicable, shall: (a) Incorporate the exemptions in subsection 373.406 and 403.813(2) and (d) Incorporate the exemptions and general permits that are effective under this part and have been enacted by rule by the department and other water management districts, including the general permits authorized by Section 403.814, F.S.” In accordance with those provisions, the Department has included in the Phase I rules all of the exemptions and general permits that are available in the rest of the state.
Section 373.4145(6), F.S., exempts certain additional activities from regulation under Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., such as the construction and use of a single-family dwelling unit, duplex, triplex, or quadruplex that is not part of a larger common plan of development or sale proposed by the applicant, and does not involve wetlands or other surface waters, and the regulation of agriculture activities, which continue to be governed by the exemptions in Section 373.406, F.S., or are otherwise regulated by the NWFWMD in accordance with Chapters 40A-44, F.A.C.

The purpose of these rule amendments is to expand the area where the taking of commercial sponges by diving in the waters of the State of Florida is allowed and to specify the method by which they may be harvested. The effect is to provide commercial sponge harvesters additional territory in which to work, while assuring that sponges harvested by diving are cut, rather than pulled, from the bottom to allow regrowth.
-
The proposed rule amends the scope sections within each of the three Parts of Chapter 62-4, F.A.C., as part of concurrent rulemaking that will implement a new environmental resource permitting (ERP) program in the geographical area of the Northwest Florida Water Management District, generally referred to as the “Panhandle.” The new ERP program is authorized and mandated by Section 373.4145, F.S., as amended by Chapter 2006-208, Laws of Florida. A new rule Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., is being proposed through separate rulemaking to implement the Phase I of a new ERP program in the Panhandle. The proposed rule amendments to Chapter 62-4, F.A.C., in conjunction with the proposed Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., will modify the applicability of certain provisions of Chapter 62-4, F.A.C., which will apply to the proposed stormwater management systems in the Panhandle under Section 373.4145(1), F.S. Provisions that will continue to apply include the definitions in Rule 62-4.020, F.A.C., and the water quality provisions in Rules 62-4.242 through 62-4.244, F.A.C., related to anti-degradation, Outstanding Florida Waters, exemptions from water quality criteria, and mixing zone criteria. Most of the other provisions in Chapter 62-4, F.A.C., including those related to fees and general conditions applicable to general permits, are either addressed in Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., or are not applicable to the ERP program, and therefore are not applicable to the ERP program. However, the proposed rule will preserve the applicability of Chapter 62-4, F.A.C., to wetland resource, stormwater, and management and storage of surface water programs grandfathered under Sections 373.414 and 373.4145(6), F.S.
OGC No.: 06-1119 (formerly Docket No. 02-01R)

Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., currently establishes 35 noticed general permits under the environmental resource permit (ERP) program authorized by Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., within the Suwannee River, St. Johns River, Southwest Florida, and South Florida Water Management Districts. The chapter is proposed to be amended to make available certain noticed general permits within the geographical area of the Northwest Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD), generally referred to as the “Panhandle,” as authorized and mandated by Section 373.4145, F.S., as amended by Chapter 2006-208, Laws of Florida. Specifically, Section 373.4145(3)(d), F.S., requires the new ERP rules in the Panhandle to “Incorporate the exemptions and general permits that are effective under this part and have been enacted by rule by the department and other water management districts, including the general permits authorized by Section 403.814, F.S.”
This rulemaking is proposed as part of a concurrent rulemaking to adopt a new Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., which will implement the ERP rules applicable to stormwater management systems in the Panhandle. Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., provides the procedures for the public to provide notice to the Department or NWFWMD of their intent to use a noticed general permit adopted under Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., as well as the procedures that will be used by these agencies to review and act on such notices. Because nine of the general permits authorize activities that cannot take place in the Panhandle, only 26 of the noticed general permits in Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., will be available for activities within the Panhandle.
In addition to the above, six of the existing general permits are being amended to authorize additional activities, to clarify existing language, or to conform the rule to statutory authority. One general permit, Rule 62-341.601, F.A.C., which authorizes clam and oyster culture operations within sovereignty submerged lands aquaculture leases, is proposed to be repealed in recognition that Section 373.406(8), F.S., which was enacted after adoption of this general permit. Section 373.406(8), F.S., now exempts these activities from regulation under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., effectively making Rule 62-341.601, F.A.C., obsolete. Amendments also are proposed to the procedures and forms that are used to provide notice of use of the general permits.
Many general permits that are analogous to the noticed general permits adopted under Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., also are in effect under Rules 62-312.800 through 62-312.825, F.A.C. Those general permits, and most of the noticed general permits adopted under Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., authorize activities involving dredging and filling in wetlands and other surface waters. Some of those activities also involve stormwater management systems that will require a permit under Chapter 62-346, F.A.C. Section 373.4145(1), F.S., requires a phased approach to adopting rules that implement the ERP program in the Panhandle. The first phase of rules proposed under Chapter 62-346, F.A.C., is limited to regulation of stormwater management systems. Other than the activities authorized under Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., activities involving dredging and filling will continue to be regulated under Chapter 62-312, F.A.C., until the second phase of rules under Section 373.4145(1)(b), F.S., are adopted, which cannot occur any sooner than January 1, 2008. Therefore, persons who propose to construct, alter, maintain or repair, abandon, or remove stormwater management systems that involve dredging or filling in surface waters of the state, as defined in Rule 62-312.030, F.A.C., can chose to use either an applicable general permit adopted under Chapter 62-312, F.A.C., or a noticed general permit Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., until the second phase of rules become effective.
Rule 62-341.900, F.A.C., is being amended to provide that the form to notice the Department or NWFWMD of the intended use of a general permit is Form 62-312.900(6). This form is already used to notice the Department of uses of general permits adopted under the wetland resource permit program in Chapter 62-312, F.A.C. This form is being retained because, as mentioned above, many of the general permits involve dredge and fill activities. Most dredge and fill activities within the Panhandle require a separate permit or authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). The Corps is familiar with the proposed form, and its continued use under the new ERP program in the Panhandle will avoid confusion and the need to adopt new operational procedures with the Corps.
The overall effect of this rulemaking will be to streamline and expedite the process of authorizing projects that qualify for the general permits within the Panhandle. It also will reduce costs to the public. The noticed general permit under Chapter 62-341, F.A.C., constitutes the requisite dredge and fill and stormwater management system authorizations. The availability of these general permits in the Panhandle will not reduce environmental protection because general permits are authorized under Sections 373.4145, F.S., to have only minimal adverse individual and cumulative impacts.
OGC NO.: 06-1124 (formerly Docket No. 02-06R)
-
This proposed rule repeal eliminates provisions relating to introduction of non-native aquatic species, which will be moved to proposed new Rule Chapter 68-5, F.A.C.. The repealed provisions relating to diseased fish will be moved to Rule 68A-4.005, F.A.C. The effect of this rule repeal will be to consolidate related regulatory provisions in the same place and allow citizens easier access to them.
-
The proposed rule change deletes provisions prohibiting the importation and release of non-native fish and wildlife without a permit; these provisions will be incorporated into proposed new Rule Chapter 68-5, F.A.C. The proposed rule change incorporates provisions currently in Rule 68A-23.008, F.A.C. regarding inspection of facilities that might harbor diseased aquatic organisms. Rule 68A-23.008, F.A.C., will be repealed effective July 1, 2007. The effect of this rule amendment will be to consolidate related regulatory provisions in the same place and allow citizens easier access to them.
-
The purpose of this rule amendment and rule repeal is to delete provisions regarding the importation of certain tortoises and provide for the continuation of permit requirements for possession of venomous reptiles until January 1, 2008, at which time superseding requirements will become effective in new Rule 68A-6.007, F.A.C. The rule repeal will eliminate on January 1, 2008, provisions for caging and exhibition of venomous reptiles. Those provisions will be replaced by Rule 68A-6.007, F.A.C., on that date. The effect of this rulemaking will be to consolidate related regulatory provisions in the same place and allow citizens easier access to them.
-
The Board proposes a rule amendment to address the standards for approval of continuing education activities and providers.
-
The purpose of these rule amendments is to modify the Commission’s Reef Fish Rule to become consistent with federal reef fish regulations in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council developed regulatory actions in Amendment 13C to their Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan, which became effective October 13, 2006. Amendment 13C addresses recreational and commercial harvest of snowy grouper, golden tilefish, vermilion snapper, black sea bass, and red porgy, and establishes bag limits, size limits, quotas, and trip limits. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council developed regulatory actions for black, gag, and red grouper that became effective on November 17, 2006, which includes the prohibition of the possession of the recreational bag limit of grouper by the captain and crew of for hire vessels. The Council developed a Red Snapper Individual Fishing Quota Program that took effect on January 1, 2007, which eliminates the need for Class I and Class II permits. The Council is also moving forward as quickly as possible with a framework amendment to address vermilion snapper management regulations in Amendment 23. This amendment reduces the minimum size limit for 11 inches to 10 inches TL and removes the commercial closed harvesting season.
Another rule amendment is clarification of state regulatory intent by affirmatively prohibiting persons harvesting reef fish species for commercial purposes from possessing the recreational bag limit of reef fish species on the same trip. The state has allowed commercial grouper fishers in the Gulf of Mexico to possess commercially harvested grouper (black and gag) with a 24-inch minimum size limit and recreationally caught grouper (black and gag) with a 22-inch minimum size on the same trip. This presents a problem for law enforcement and allows potential sale of undersize fish. This amendment would align state rules with current federal regulations in the Gulf of Mexico that prohibit vessels from retaining reef fish species under the recreational size and bag limit when commercial quantities of Gulf reef fish are onboard.
The effect of these rule amendments will be that federal and state regulations are consistently applied. 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 proposed new rule chapter is to consolidate regulatory provisions relating to non-native species currently existing in different rule chapters in Title 68A into a new chapter within Title 68 of the Florida Administrative Code. In addition, the proposed rule adds species previously referenced only in statute, and substitutes the term “conditional” for the term “restricted” to refer to non-native with special requirements. The proposed new rules will list two additional species and add conditions for the possession of a previously restricted genus of freshwater fishes. The effect of this new rule title will be to consolidate related regulatory provisions in the same place and allow citizens easier access to them.

These changes will primarily clarify and update certain programmatic and administrative processes to improve efficiency. Incorporated web sites, rule numbers, and details relating to travel and indirect rates have also been updated to reflect changes in agency and state policies.
-
Section 497.553(1), F.S., authorizes the Board of Funeral, Cemetery, and Consumer Services to set by rule an annual inspection fee not to exceed $300 payable upon application for licensure and upon each renewal of such license. The proposed rule sets the inspection fee at $100.
-
