- Department of Law Enforcement
- Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Center Hill Police Department on behalf of one officer for the 2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) and 2010 (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010) mandatory firearms requalification reporting cycles. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officer at issue completed the course of fire for the 2008 and 2010 reporting cycles, however, he was a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor and he signed his own CJSTC 86A form. Petitioner states that the officer will suffer a substantial hardship if his certification is rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officer did successfully complete the requirement, his only deficiency being that as a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor, he signed his own CJSTC 86A form for the 2008 and 2010 mandatory firearms requalification reporting cycle.
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Sea Ranch Lakes Police Department on behalf of 19 officers for the 2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) and 2010 (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010) mandatory firearms requalification reporting periods. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officers at issue did complete the physical aspects of the rule, however, the CJSTC 86A forms for the officers are not in the officers’ files. Petitioner states that the officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officers did in fact comply with the physical aspects of the rule.
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Village of North Palm Beach Police Department on behalf of 38 officers for the 2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) and 2010 (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010) mandatory firearms requalification reporting cycles. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officers at issue did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructors who signed their CJSTC 86A forms were not CJSTC-certified firearms instructors. Petitioner states that the officers will suffer a substantial hardship if their certifications are rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officers did successfully complete the requirement simply because their CJSTC 86A forms were signed by non-CJSTC-certified firearms instructors for the 2008 and 2010 mandatory firearms requalification cycles.

- On December 28, 2011, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants received a Petition for a Routine Variance for an Emergency Variance for Subparagraph 3-305.11(A)(2), 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 3-305.14, 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 6-202.15, 2001 FDA Food Code, Paragraph 6-202.16, 2001 FDA Food Code, subsections 61C-4.010(1), (6), Florida Administrative Code, from Lily’s Catering located in Orlando, FL.

- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Webster Police Department on behalf of one officer, Danny L. Young, for the 2008 (7/1/2006 – 6/30/2008) mandatory firearms requalification reporting cycle. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that Officer Young did indeed fire the required rounds, however he was supervised and his CJSTC 86A form was signed by an inactive CJSTC firearms instructor. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that Officer Young did actually complete the physical requirements of the rule.
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from the Office of the State Attorney, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, on behalf of one officer for the 2010 (7/1/2008 – 6/30/2010) mandatory firearms requalification reporting periods. Subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., requires officers to requalify with a firearm every two years on a course of fire mandated by Commission rule and supervised by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officer at issue was hired straight from the academy on January 22, 2009. Petitioner erroneously believed that the officer’s firearms training course at the academy was the same as mandatory firearms requalification. Petitioner affirms that the officer was successfully requalified for the 2012 mandatory firearms requalification reporting cycle by a CJSTC-certified firearms instructor. Petitioner states that the officer will suffer a substantial hardship if his certification is rendered inactive as a result of this situation. Petitioner further states that it would violate the principles of fairness to fail to recognize that the officer was a new hire in 2009 and that he did, in fact, shoot the mandatory firearms requalification course of fire for the 2012 reporting cycle.

- A Public Information Meeting for S.R. 41 (US 301) from south of the Tampa Bypass Canal to north of Fowler Avenue, in Hillsborough County, FPN 255793-1.
This public information meeting is being conducted to afford property and business owners, interested persons, and organizations the opportunity to provide comments to the FDOT regarding the proposed improvements to S.R. 41 (US 301) within the above referenced limits. Proposed improvements include widening S.R. 41 (US 301) from the existing 2-lane undivided rural roadway to a 4-lane divided roadway with raised medians. Pedestrian and bicycle facilities will be added to both sides of the roadway. A new bridge will be constructed to replace the existing bridge and to accommodate the roadway typical section. The bridge will have a 5 ft. sidewalk on the north side and a 12 ft. shared path on the south side. Provisions for the MPO future trail plans for Hillsborough County are made by providing enough clearance for the future trail to go under the bridge. This hearing is being held pursuant to Chapters 339 and 120, Florida Statutes; 23 CFR 771, and 23 USC 128. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status. The FDOT will receive written comments at the meeting. Written comments not received at the meeting should be postmarked by March 9, 2012, to become part of the official meeting record. Written comments may be mailed to: Diana P.

- The Department will brief the Environmental Regulation Commission (ERC) on the status of the proposed revisions to Chapter 62-302 (Surface Water Quality Standards) F.A.C. and Chapter 62-303 (Identification of Impaired Surface Waters), F.A.C., which were approved for adoption by the ERC on December 8, 2011. These rule revisions propose numeric nutrient criteria for lakes, flowing waters (streams), springs, and estuary specific criteria for several Florida estuaries.
The Department will also seek approval from the Commission for proposed amendments to Chapter 62-701, F.A.C., which contains regulations for a wide variety of solid waste facilities including landfills, construction and demolition debris disposal facilities and waste processing facilities. A number of simplifying changes are being proposed to the chapter with the goals of continuing environmental protection but also: (1) reducing unnecessary regulations; (2) reducing costs to the regulated community; (3) clarifying existing regulations; and (4) conforming the chapter to recent statutory changes. These measures will result in a significant savings to the regulated community while continuing to provide environmental protection.
The Department will also seek approval from the Commission for adoption of its proposed revisions to Rules 62-210.200, 62-212.300, 62-212.400, F.A.C., to establish PM2.5 as an air pollutant with a significant emissions rate, thereby making industrial facilities that would potentially increase their emissions of PM2.5 or its precursors by a significant amount subject to major source preconstruction review. The proposed amendments are consistent with federal regulation, policy, and guidance, and they do not impose any requirements beyond or in addition to the minimum federal program. The Department will also bring before the ERC its proposal to repeal Rule 62-296.341, F.A.C., to eliminate an unnecessary permitting requirement that was initially promulgated to satisfy federal regional haze regulations, but was later rejected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a means to satisfy such regulations. The rule section is no longer necessary to serve its original purpose.
