Consideration of proposed annual amendments to the 2004 edition of the Florida Building Code.

The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rule 12B-7.0225, F.A.C., is to put the public on notice regarding the change in methodology for calculating the annual base rate adjustment to the phosphate rock tax rate for the year 2006 and the proposed new index to be used by the Department for calculating the tax rate adjustments for the year 2007 and thereafter.
Section 211.3103, F.S., requires an annual adjustment to the base price of $1.62 by the change in the producer price index for phosphate rock primary products. Section 211.3103(9)(e), F.S., required the Department to select a “comparable index,” if that index was discontinued. The original producer price index was discontinued. The Producer Price Index program changed its basis for industry classification from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). As a result, the Chemical and Fertilizer Mineral Mining Index, Commodity Code 147, was discontinued by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it became necessary for the Department of Revenue to select a commodity index to replace that index. The Chemical Fertilizer Mineral Mining Index, Commodity Code 147, has since been renamed and renumbered as Other Nonmetallic Mineral Mining and Quarrying. As a consequence, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has revised its numbering system as (BLS series: PCU 21239). Within this new series is a specific index for phosphate rock (BLS Series ID 212392).
When in effect, this rule will provide that the Department: (1) will calculate the 2006 phosphate tax rate using the change in the phosphate rock prices published by the U.S. Geological Survey; and (2) use NAICS Code 212392, Phosphate Rock, for purposes of accessing the Producer Price Index Industry Data from the BLS, beginning with the year 2007 and thereafter for purposes of calculating the annual base rate adjustment to the phosphate rock tax rate.
The Department’s current rule had selected a producer price index for chemical and fertilizer mineral mining comparable to the discontinued index and used it to calculate the annual phosphate rock base rate adjustment. As long as the three subcategories in that comparable index (Potash, Phosphate Rock, and Other Chemical Mining) changed more or less similarly, the use of that price index was entirely appropriate. However, data obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey indicates that the price for potash has almost doubled in the last three years; the price for phosphate rock has remained relatively stable, increasing by 1.5 percent over the same three-year period. As a result, the currently published tax rate increased from $1.67 for 2005 to $1.82 for 2006; an increase of almost 10%. Thus, the price index currently used by the Department is no longer a comparable index to be used in the calculation of the annual phosphate rock base rate adjustment.
Section 211.3103(9)(d), F.S., provides that if the price index for chemical and fertilizer mineral mining is substantially changed, the Department is required to make appropriate adjustments in the method used to compute the base rate adjustment that will produce results reasonably consistent with the producer price index for phosphate rock as if it had not been revised. Because the price index currently used by the Department does not produce results substantially consistent with the unrevised index, it is necessary for the Department to make the required adjustments in computation of the base rate adjustment.

The proposed rule amendments were developed in consultation with the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.003, F.A.C., revises and clarifies where to obtain the Adult Family Care Home (AFCH) License application, AHCA Form 3180-1022, dated January 2006, which is incorporated by reference in the rule. Language is added to require AFCH providers to submit copies of their annual fire safety and sanitation inspection reports to AHCA and lists the remedies for failure to comply with this requirement. The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.008, F.A.C., deletes the requirement that AFCH providers attend update training for any portion of the basic course that has been updated as the result of new legislation or rule amendment. The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.0085, F.A.C., requires all AFCH providers to maintain a record of each fire exit drill on Form D14-1437 pursuant to Rule 69A-57.006, F.A.C. The proposed amendment to Rule 58A-14.0091, F.A.C., deletes obsolete references and updates the rule to require that each AFCH provider shall be subject to Chapter 69A-57, Uniform Fire Safety Standards for Adult Family Care Homes, F.A.C. Additionally, the amendment to Rule 58A-14.0091, F.A.C., outlines the AFCH provider’s responsibility for providing information to a resident’s essential medical service providers during and after a declared disaster or emergency.

Procedural rules for workers' compensation claims resolution were implemented on February 23, 2003, pursuant to the mandate in Section 440.45, Florida Statutes, that the Division of Administrative Hearings adopt procedural rules. Since Sections 440.015 and 440.44(2), Florida Statutes, require that the workers' compensation system be efficient and self-executing and that the Division of Administrative Hearings assume an active and forceful role in achieving that goal, it is necessary to amend the existing rules to conform with subsequent statutory changes and to incorporate changes that will improve the adjudicatory process based upon experience in utilizing the existing rules.

-
The purpose of the proposed amendment to Rule 69V-560.303 is to repeal subsection (3) of the rule, which requires part II registrants under chapter 560, Florida Statutes, to file unaudited financial statements in conjunction with applications to renew part II registrations. Part II of Chapter 560, F.S., relates to Payment Instruments and Funds Transmission under the Money Transmitters’ Code. The requirement regarding unaudited financial statements, however, is in addition to a compliance requirement that requires these same registrants to file, annually, audited financial statements with the Office within 90-days of the registrants fiscal year end. Given the significant overlap in the regulatory purpose behind each requirement, the Office proposes to repeal the requirement regarding filing unaudited financial statements during the application renewal process. The repeal will relieve registrants of an unnecessary regulation and the fiscal impact of having to comply with both regulations. Technical corrections are also made.

There would also be a new fee of $50.00 plus mileage per inspection charged for follow-up quarantine inspections. The effect will enable the Department to recover the cost of providing the special inspection services associated with nematode certification and fumigations.

These meetings are being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to participate in scoping and public kickoff meetings on the South Florida East Coast Corridor Transit Analysis (SFECCTA).
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), Tier 1 of a Tiered, Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) will be prepared for the SFECCTA study to evaluate transit improvements in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida. The SFECCTA is located along the eastern spine of the tri-county South Florida region, centered on but not limited to the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway alignment. The study proposes in Tier 1 to evaluate preferred technologies (e.g., rail, bus, express bus, etc.) and alignments through areas with heavily congested roadways and under-served, transit-dependent populations. These areas extend from Downtown Miami north through Ft. Lauderdale's Central Business District (CBD) and north of Downtown West Palm Beach to the Town of Jupiter and Village of Tequesta in northern Palm Beach County. The Tier 1 Analysis consists of a Regional Transit Alternatives Analysis. The Tier 2 Analyses will consist of subsequent Sectional Alternatives Analyses (per independent section of the SFECCTA study area) that may consist of EIS, Environmental Assessments or Categorical Exclusion Type 2 documents, depending on individual projects.
