The Department proposes to repeal the partial delegation of the stormwater discharge permitting program under Chapter 62-25, F.A.C., to the City of Tallahassee. This delegation was granted to the City on January 29, 1998, per the Delegation Agreement incorporated by reference in paragraph 62-113.100(2)(o), F.A.C. With the exception of certain activities authorized in accordance with Section 373.4145(6), F.S., Chapter 62-25, F.A.C., will no longer be used to authorize new stormwater management systems within the geographic limits of the Northwest Florida Water Management District, including within the City of Tallahassee, beginning on October 1, 2007, when Phase 1 of the new Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) program authorized under Section 373.4145, F.S., becomes effective. The City has elected, at this time, not to pursue delegation of the new ERP program. Therefore, the Department has served notice to the City of its intent to terminate the Delegation Agreement, effective on the close of business, Friday, September 28, 2007, and must repeal the incorporation by reference of this Agreement in Chapter 62-113, F.A.C. However, the City will remain responsible for the review and agency action on applications for stormwater general permits under the terms of the Delegation Agreement that are complete on or before September 28, 2007. The City also will remain responsible for compliance and enforcement for those stormwater discharge systems that were permitted by the City under the terms of the Delegation Agreement. The review, agency action, compliance, and enforcement on all other applications for new stormwater management systems that require a permit under the ERP rules authorized under Section 373.4145, F.S., on or after October 1, 2007, will be the responsibility of the Department or the Northwest Florida Water Management District, in accordance with those rules. This repeal will not change the authority of the City to continue requiring a separate authorization to construct and operate such systems after the termination of the Delegation Agreement.

- Notices of Petitions and Dispositions Regarding Declaratory Stat (6)
-
Ken Gray; The Notice of Petition for Declaratory Statement was published in Volume 33, No. 20, of the May 18, 2007, Florida Administrative Weekly. The Board considered the Petition at a duly-noticed public meeting held on June 22, 2007.
The Board’s Order, filed on July 30, 2007, denies the Petition for Declaratory Statement, finding that Petitioner has not complied with the requirements of Section 120.545(1) of the Florida Statutes. Specifically, Petitioner failed to describe Petitioner’s circumstances with particularity in the Petition. Additionally, Petitioner failed to cite the agency statute, rule or order upon which the opinion is sought and to describe how the statute, rule or order affects Petitioner in his particular circumstances. The Petition does not comply with Rule 28-105.001 of the Florida Administrative Code.
-
The Watershed Treatment Programs, Inc.; The petition requests a statement from the Department concerning the scope of petitioner’s Intensive Inpatient Treatment License issued pursuant to Rules 65D-30.002 and 65D-30.0061, Fla. Administrative Code.
-
George M. Livingston, a State of Florida registered investment adviser.; The petition sought the agency's opinion as to whether Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and NASD Rule 2210, including the corresponding sections of the Securities and Investor Protection Act (Chapter 517, Florida Statutes), apply to his ability to give a current client’s e-mail and/or phone number to a potential client to contact that person as a reference.
The Office determined that because Livingston is a state registered investment adviser in Florida and is not a NASD member, NASD Rule 2210 is not applicable to him as a state registered investment adviser and his inquiry was not addressed; the hypothetical situation that he posed is not a prohibited business practice in Florida because it is not a testimonial under Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or an advertisement under Fla. Admin. Code Rule 69W-200.001(2). Thus, Livingston may provide contact information, as described in the Petition, to a prospective client.
