The Department is initiating rule development to amend the fee schedule in Rule 62-4.050, F.A.C., with two primary objectives. First, it will conform the rule with Senate Bill 1294 (2008), Chapter 2008-150, Laws of Florida, which established new fees and minimum fee requirements for environmental resource permit program activities under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and drinking water fees under Section 403.087, F.S. For activities under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., the legislation established a $250 minimum fee for noticed general permits and individual permits; a new $100 minimum fee, not to exceed $500, to verify qualification for an exemption; and a new $100 minimum fee, not to exceed $500, to conduct an informal wetland boundary determination. The legislation also established a new annual operation license fee of $50 for each public water system, automatically increases the minimum fees for drinking water construction or operation permits to $500, not to exceed $15,000, and established the permit fee for a drinking water distribution system permit, including a general permit, at $500, not to exceed $1,000. The new fees and the minimum fees described above automatically go into effect on July 1, 2008, and remain in effect until the Department adopts new fees by rule.
Secondly, the legislation requires the Department to review all fees authorized under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., and Chapter 403, F.S., at least once every five years and adjust the fees to reflect changes in the rate of inflation since the time each fee was established or most recently revised. This includes a requirement to adopt by rule the inflation index or indices to be used for making all fee adjustments. In recognition of this new legislation, the Department will be evaluating appropriate inflation indicators for all other regulatory program areas under Chapter 403, F.S., and will advise the public of the approach to be taken through future notices.
-
In accordance with Sections 373.026(7), 373.103, and 403.805, F.S., the Department proposes to delegate to the St. Johns River, Suwannee River, Southwest Florida, and South Florida Water Management Districts the authority to conform their rules establishing fees for environmental resource permit (ERP) program activities under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., with Senate Bill 1294 (2008), Chapter 2008-150, Laws of Florida. That legislation established a $250 minimum fee for noticed general permits and individual permits; a new $100 minimum fee, not to exceed $500, to verify qualification for an exemption, and a new $100 minimum fee, not to exceed $500, to conduct an informal wetland boundary determination. These minimum fees will remain in place within each District for activities that are the responsibility of the Districts under the Operating Agreements between the Department and the Districts incorporated by reference in Chapter 62-113, F.A.C., until that District adopts a rule to adjust fees based on the inflation adjuster index. The legislation also required all fees under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., to be reviewed at least once every five years and adjusted to reflect changes in the rate of inflation since the time each fee was established or most recently revised. This includes a requirement to adopt by rule the inflation index or indices to be used for making all fee adjustments. This authority is not being delegated to the Northwest Florida Water Management District because, in accordance with Section 373.4145, F.S., the District uses the Department’s rules to implement their responsibilities in the ERP program.

The Department is initiating rule development to amend the fee schedule in Rule 62-346.071, F.A.C., for environmental resource permit program activities under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., within the geographic area of the Northwest Florida Water Management District (“the Panhandle”). This rulemaking has two primary objectives. First, it will conform the rule with Senate Bill 1294 (2008), Chapter 2008-150, Laws of Florida, which established a new $250 minimum fee for noticed general permits and individual permits; a new minimum fee of $100, not to exceed $500, to verify qualification for an exemption; and a new $100 minimum fee, not to exceed $500, to conduct an informal wetland boundary determination. The new and minimum fees described above automatically go into effect on July 1, 2008, and remain in effect until the Department adopts new fees by rule. The new fees and the minimum fees required by the legislation will be reflected in associated rulemaking to adopt the second phase of the environmental resource permit program in the Panhandle in accordance with Section 373.4145(1)(b), F.S.
Secondly, the legislation requires the Department to review all fees authorized under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., at least once every five years and adjust the fees to reflect changes in the rate of inflation since the time each fee was established or most recently revised. This includes a requirement to adopt by rule the inflation index or indices to be used for making all fee adjustments.
These fees will be binding on applications and notices for environmental resource permit activities under Part IV of Chapter 373, F.S., reviewed and acted upon by the Department or the Northwest Florida Water Management District, in accordance with the division of responsibilities established by the Operating Agreement in Chapter 62-113, F.A.C.

NOTICE WAS HEREBY GIVEN that on May 1, 2008, for an Emergency Variance for Chapter 61C-1.004(1) and 61C-4.010(3); Florida Administrative Codes from Areas USA Inc. located in Miami. The above referenced F.A.C. references Chapters two and five of the 2001 FDA Food Code which deal with employee hygiene and adequate and proper handwashing.

Based on the foregoing, the Division concludes that the Petitioner’s request for variance fails to meet the burden of demonstrating that required safety and sanitation safeguards have otherwise been met.

Additionally, participants should be prepared to address the following questions on CLEC intrastate access charges:
1) What are the key factors that CLECs consider when determining how to set their access charge rates?; 2) Are the access rates being charged by Florida’s CLECs cost-based?; 3) Should Florida’s CLECs be allowed to set their intrastate access charge rates at any level they choose? Should their cost to provide access service be considered?; 4) Are Florida consumers harmed by CLECs charging access rates that are in excess of those charged by the ILEC in the area in which they compete? Are there other adverse effects?; 5) Is the market for the access service structured in a way that allows competitive pressures to effectively constrain access prices? Why or why not?; 6) Do market forces applicable to originating switched access differ from the market forces for terminating switched access? If so, how?; 7) Under what conditions, if any, can a carrier decline to terminate its traffic to another carrier?; 8) On what basis can it be determined if CLEC access rates are just and reasonable?; 9) If it is determined that CLEC access charges are not just and reasonable, does the Commission have authority to act to remedy this situation?; 10) Should the Commission establish caps on the intrastate access rates that CLECs can charge? If so, how should caps be determined?; 11) What would be the impact on Florida CLECs if this Commission were to cap CLEC access rates at the rates of the incumbent LEC in the area in which they serve?; 12) If the Commission opts to constrain allowable CLEC access rates through some means other than rate caps, what options are available? Notice of cancellation will also be provided on the Commission's website (http://www.psc.state.fl.us/) under the Hot Topics link found on the home page.
