- Proposed Rules (5)

The purpose of the rule amendments is to modify commercial Spanish mackerel vessel limit regulations for Atlantic state waters by reinstating in-season vessel limit reductions that are consistent with those in adjacent federal waters. In addition, rule formatting would be standardized consistent with the Marine Fisheries Rule Cleanup process to clarify, streamline, and reorganize the regulations found in 68B-23, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
Spanish mackerel is managed jointly by the Gulf of Mexico and South Atlantic fishery management councils in federal waters, and by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in state waters. On the Atlantic coast, most commercial harvest occurs in state waters, where the fishery consists of three gear components that fish at different times throughout the season.
The Atlantic commercial fishery is managed through a series of in-season vessel limit reductions known as “step-downs” that help keep harvest open in federal waters while ensuring all three gear components have access to the state waters fishery. In state waters from March through November, the vessel limit is 3500 lbs. per day. Starting December 1, the vessel limit remains at 3500 lbs. on weekdays, but drops to 1500 lbs. on weekends only. The vessel limit may be further reduced to 1500 lbs. daily, then 500 lbs., based on triggers in federal rule. However, the federal rules that trigger the 1500 and 500 lb. step-downs have changed, which means that these step-downs are no longer occurring in state waters.
The effect of these rule amendments is to help reduce confusion about state regulations by aligning in-season vessel limit reductions in state and federal rules, constrain harvest near the federal quota, and allow access for all components of the fishery. It will also provide clarification and standardized language for the Commission’s current Spanish mackerel regulations for improved public understanding without changing the regulation intent and will improve consistency across marine fisheries rules.

On June 10, 2019 the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for an Emergency Variance for Subparagraph 61C-1.004(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code and Paragraph 5-202.11(A), 2009 FDA Food Code from Danste Hospitality located in Clearwater. The above referenced F.A.C. addresses the requirement that each establishment have an approved plumbing system installed to transport potable water and wastewater. They are requesting to utilize holding tanks to provide potable water and to collect wastewater at the handwash sink.
The Petition for this variance was published in Vol. 45/113 on June 11, 2019. The Order for this Petition was signed and approved on June 19, 2019. After a complete review of the variance request, the Division finds that the application of this Rule will create a financial hardship to the food service establishment. Furthermore, the Division finds that the Petitioner meets the burden of demonstrating that the underlying statute has been achieved by the Petitioner ensuring the wastewater holding tank for the handwash sinks are emptied at a frequency as to not create a sanitary nuisance; and potable water provided must come from an approved source and be protected from contamination during handling. The Petitioner shall also ensure that the handwash sinks are provided with hot and cold running water under pressure, soap, an approved hand drying device and a handwashing sign.
