- Division of Community Development
- Chapter 73C-43, Fla. Admin. Code ("F.A.C."), sets forth procedures governing local government applications for participation in the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Certification Program and the review and evaluation of those applications by the Department. The Department seeks to merge the brief statement of purpose set forth in Rule 73C-43.001, F.A.C. with the definitions set forth in 73C-43.002, F.A.C. to create one rule. The Department also seeks to move the language from Rules 73C-43.004, .005, and .006, F.A.C., into Rule 73C-43.003, F.A.C., so that all information related to applications and the application process are together in one rule.

2. Proposed Rules
- Water Management Districts
- South Florida Water Management District
- During the rulemaking effort to reserve water for the Caloosahatchee River (C-43) West Basin Storage Reservoir Project (C-43 Reservoir), the District included language stating: “all presently existing legal uses of water shall be protected so long as such use is not contrary to the public interest.” The inclusion of this language was challenged in DOAH Case No. 14-1329RP. The administrative law judge (A.L.J.) determined the language was invalid, stating that “[e]xisting legal uses are presumed not contrary to the public interest unless and until the District determines otherwise.” The A.L.J. went on to state that while the District “can make a ‘not contrary’ determination,” it cannot do so prospectively for the duration of a permit.
Language similar to that found invalid in C-43 Reservoir reservation case exists in the water reservations for Picayune Strand, Fakahatchee Estuary, North Fork of the St. Lucie River, and Nearshore Central Biscayne Bay, in subsections 40E-10.041(1) and (2), 40E-10.051, and 40E-10.061(2), F.A.C., respectively.

- Extension of the Variance From Rule 59C-1.044, F.A.C., and Incorporated Memorandum of Law. This petition was filed by Public Health Trust of Miami-Dade County, Florida, as Petitioner.
The rule number and nature of the rule from which the extension or wavier is sought is as follows: The rule number is 59C-1.044 Florida Admin. Code and is entitled Organ Transplantation. The nature of the rule includes the following: This rule implements the provision of Section 408.036(1)(f), F.S., which requires the Agency to review the establishment of organ transplantation programs under the Certificate of Need program which shall include heart, kidney, liver, bone marrow, lung, lung and heart, pancreas and islet cells, and intestines. Applications for organ transplantation programs shall be reviewed against the applicable review criteria in Section 408.035, F.S., and the standards and need determination criteria set forth in this rule. This rule defines the minimum requirements for personnel, equipment, and support services for organ transplantation programs. In addition, the rule includes a need methodology for the establishment of organ transplantation programs by type.
Any interested person or other agency may submit written comments on the petition for a variance or waiver within 14 days after the notice required by Section 120.542(6), F.S to the following designated Agency representative.

- On January 10, 2017, a Final Order on Petition for Waiver of Rule 61A-3.054, Florida Administrative Code, filed by Petitioner, Publix Supermarkets, Inc. on October 12, 2016, was issued. Based on the information provided by the Petitioner, the Division concludes that Petitioner's Petition for Waiver failed to demonstrate that Petitioner was entitled to the requested waiver because Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the purpose of the underlying statute will be or has been achieved by other means or that application of the rule creates a substantial hardship or violates the principles of fairness. Notice of receipt of the petition was published on November 3, 2016, in Volume 42, Issue 215 of the Florida Administrative Register (“F.A.R.”).
