- Proposed Rules (8)
-
The proposed rule amendments (OGC No. 09-3737) involve creation of non-Title V air general permits to replace Title V air general permits separately proposed for repeal. The amendments would also revise several permitting-related definitions for greater clarity, expand air permitting exemption criteria, revise exemption and general permit rule language for greater clarity, and eliminate air general permit registration forms.
-
The proposed rule amendments (OGC No. 09-3738) eliminate all Title V air general permits and provide that persons using such general permits automatically transition to the use of replacement non-Title V air general permits separately being proposed for adoption in Chapter 62-210, F.A.C. The amendments also delete the Title V air general permit registration forms, renumber remaining forms, and correct citations to the renumbered forms where needed.
-
The purpose and effect of the proposed rulemaking is to repeal the rules as the statutory rulemaking authority no longer exists.
-
The rule language is a reflection of the division of licensing’s past practice and procedure regarding class “G” licensees.
-
Section 497.142(10)(a), F.S., requires every licensee to disclose certain criminal records when applying for renewal of any license issued under Chapter 497, F.S. Section 497(10)(g), F.S., requires the Department to adopt rules specifying forms and procedures to be used by licensees to disclose those criminal records.
-
The purpose and effect of the proposed rulemaking is to clarify form references and to indicate the procedure to be followed during an investigation in which an inmate requests a large group of inmates as witnesses, such as an entire dorm.
-
The purpose and effect is to repeal the rule.
-
The proposed rule adopts: NFPA 58, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code, 2011 Edition; LP Gas Code Handbook, NFPA 58, 2011 Edition; NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas Code, 2006 Edition; and National Fuel Gas Code Handbook, NFPA 54, 2006 Edition; to guide the Department in interpreting the provisions of Chapter 527, Florida Statutes.

For purposes of this provision, the term “the solicitation” includes any addendum, response to written questions, clarification or other document concerning the terms, conditions, or specifications of the solicitation. The formal written protest shall be filed within 10 days after the date the notice of protest is filed.
When protesting a decision or intended decision (including a protest of the terms, conditions and specifications contained in this solicitation), the protestor must post a bond equal to one percent (1%) of the department’s estimated contract amount. The estimated contract amount shall be based upon the contract price submitted by the protestor. If no contract price was submitted, the department shall provide the estimated contract amount to the protestor within 72 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and state holidays) after the notice of protest has been filed. The estimated contract amount is not subject to protest pursuant to Section 120.57(3), F.S. The bond shall be conditioned upon the payment of all costs and charges that are adjudged against the protestor in the administrative hearing in which action is brought and in any subsequent appellate court proceeding. FAILURE TO FILE THE PROPER BOND AT THE TIME OF FILING THE FORMAL PROTEST WILL RESULT IN A REJECTION OF THE PROTEST. In lieu of a bond the department may accept a cashier’s check, official bank check, or money order in the amount of the bond.
A notice of protest, formal protest and bond are “filed,” when received by the contact person listed in this solicitation. Filing may be achieved by hand-delivery, courier, US Mail or facsimile transfer. Filing by email will not be accepted. All methods of delivery or transmittal to the department’s contact person shall remain the responsibility of the protestor and the risk of non-receipt or delayed receipt shall be upon the protestor. FAILURE TO FILE A PROTEST WITHIN THE TIME PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 120.57(3), F.S., OR FAILURE TO POST THE BOND OR OTHER SECURITY REQUIRED BY LAW WITHIN THE TIME ALLOWED FOR FILING A BOND SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF PROCEEDINGS UNDER CHAPTER 120, F.S.

To address the resignations of the Commissioner of Education and the Chair of the State Board. As the Commissioner of Education is the chief education officer for the state whose duties include advising the State Board of Education on all matters pertaining to the education of all public school students in Florida, the announcement of his resignation on March 21, 2011, established a need that could have an immediate danger to the public welfare. The Chair of the State Board of Education also tendered his resignation from the Board effective immediately which necessitated further direction from the Board as a whole. The purpose of the meeting was to address the issues created by these resignations.
The action of the Board was to direct the Department of Education to facilitate the process of advertising the position of the Commissioner of Education and accepting resumes of qualified candidates for consideration of the Board. The Board requested that up to three search firms be identified by the Department to be interviewed by the Board as a whole at its next meeting to be scheduled as an emergency meeting.
