By this notice, the department is proposing to rename Rule 62-285.300, F.A.C., from “Electric Utility Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program” to “Electric Utility Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program – General Provisions.” The purpose and effect of Rule 62-285.300, F.A.C., will still include the establishment of statewide emission caps from the electric utility sector, but will be expanded to include general provisions related to establishment and operation of a cap and trade program to accomplish the greenhouse gas emission reductions. The department is also proposing to develop four additional new rule sections to implement details of the proposed cap and trade program.

This is a substantial amendment of Rule Chapter 14-61, F.A.C., consisting of a new Part I, Part II, and Part III structure. Part I – General will be based upon the current rule.

Part II – Turnpike Tandems and Part III – Regulations Covering the Operation and Safety of Turnpike Tandems are based upon existing rules in Rule Chapter 14-54, F.A.C.

- Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat (7)
-
Frank McElroy, Petitioner; The Petition was presented at the Florida Fire Code Advisory Council meeting on March 27, 2009 in St. Augustine, Florida. The affected condominium association presented its arguments through the association’s Vice President. Members of the public also spoke at the meeting. The Subject of the Petition is whether a fire alarm system is required in the subject structure which lacks a fire sprinkler system. The answer is yes, because the Life Safety Code, adopted by rule of the Department, requires the fire alarm system as a minimum requirement and the subject structure did not meet any of the exceptions for the requirement. The local fire authority is authorized to approve an alternative that provides an equivalent level of fire safety; however, an alternative was not proposed.
-
Leesburg Fire Department; The Petition poses the following question: Does building construction type, specifically IIIB, allow the waiver of the fire alarm system requirement in NFPA 101-31.3.4.1.1? Following a discussion of the application standard, the Declaratory Statement concludes that it is not the appropriate means for obtaining a policy statement of general applicability from an agency, citing Tampa Electric Company v. Florida Department of Community Affairs, 654 So.2d 998 (Fla. 1st DCA, 1995). The standard provides exceptions to the fire alarm system requirement in existing apartment buildings; however, the Petition does not allege sufficient facts to determine whether any of the exceptions apply. In accordance with the foregoing, and the statutes, rules and case cited therein, the Petition for Declaratory Statement herein is hereby DENIED.
