- The rule has not been updated since 1986 to reflect current local and state-level procurement practices. Additionally, the current rule provides no guidance to other appropriate uses of the systems that would promote training, education and technological advances on or with certified voting systems. For example, the proposed revision establishes procedures or protocols for assessing a voting system during a routine test or system audit and for identifying potential or actual problems that require immediate resolution and assessing potential vulnerabilities to the integrity of voting systems. The rule revision reflects input from rule workshops conducted in 2004, 2006 and 2009 to elicit feedback in a substantial rewrite of the rule.
- Due of Comment: 10/14/2011
- The purpose of the new rule is to ensure that each voter registration agency designated by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1995 and by Section 97.058, F.S., complies with the requirements of NVRA. The proposed rules requires each such agency: 1) to designate a coordinator and act as a liaison to the Department of State’s NVRA coordinator, 2) to ensure compliance with the federal and state law governing voter registration activities, 3) to record for each client voter registration services provided, 4) to report quarterly the number of applications for new registration and updates are received by using form DS-DE #131, NVRA Voter Registration Agencies Quarterly Activities Report Form and 5) to require training for staff. The proposed rule also incorporates by reference DS-DE #77-ENG and DS-DE #77-SPN, a form in English and in Spanish that combines the preference form (facilitates the tracking of voter registration activity) and a detachable national mail-in application form.

- NAME OF PETITIONER: City of Panama City
DATE PETITION WAS FILED: May 27, 2011. It was assigned the number DCA11-WAI-108
RULE NUMBER AND NATURE OF RULE FROM WHICH VARIANCE OR WAIVER IS SOUGHT: Subsection 9K-7.003(9), Florida Administrative Code, states that Applicant must acquire property either 24 months prior to, or 24 months after, the Application deadline. Applicant has acquired property outside of that time frame but was unable to apply for grant funds due to lack of Florida Forever funding and therefore seeks a waiver of this rule. Paragraph 9K-7.007(1)(a), Florida Administrative Code, states the Applicant can receive ten points on their Application if they have acquired the property within the 24 month deadline. Applicant has acquired property outside of that time frame but was unable to apply for grant funds due to lack of Florida Forever funding and therefore seeks a waiver of this rule.
A REFERENCE TO THE PLACE AND DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE OF THE PETITION: June 10, 2011 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.
THE GENERAL BASIS FOR THE AGENCY DECISION: The Department found the Petitioner had satisfied the substantial hardship provision of Section 120.542(2), F.S. A strict application of subsections 9K-7.007(1) and 9K-7.003(9), F.A.C., would create an economic hardship to the Petitioner and violate the principle of fairness. Based upon the facts presented, the Department decided to grant a temporary waiver of the above mentioned rules.
- Department of Health
- Board of Medicine
- waiver or variance of subparagraphs 64B8-51.006(3)(b)1., 2., and 3., (g)1.and 2., and (4), F.A.C., with respect to rule Governing Licensure and Inspection of Electrology Facilities, from National Laser Institute.
Comments on this petition should be filed with: Electrolysis Council, 4052 Bald Cypress Way, Bin #C05, Tallahassee, FL 32399, within 14 days of publication of this notice.
- Department of Law Enforcement
- Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Orange City Police Department on behalf of 25 officers. 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. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that the officers did successfully complete the course of fire, however, the instructor conducting the course of fire was not a CJSTC certified firearms instructor during the 2008 reporting cycle. Petitioner states that the 25 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 the instructor was not a CJSTC certified firearms instructor for the requalification shoot during the 2008 reporting cycle. Additionally, the agency requests a waiver for the 2008-2010 reporting cycle for one officer, the agency’s CJSTC certified firearms instructor, because he signed his own CJSTC form 86A. The firearms instructor did demonstrate proficiency and did complete the appropriate course of fire in the presence of other officers, however, and Petitioner argues that for that reason, he is entitled to a waiver.
- a permanent waiver of subsection 11B-27.00212(14), F.A.C., from Suwannee County Sheriff’s Office on behalf of Lt. Wayne Musgrove. 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. The petition supports the requested waiver by stating that Lt. Musgrove did successfully complete the course of fire, however, he was the only CJSTC certified firearms instructor in the agency at the time and signed his own CJSTC form 86A requalification certifications for the 2008 and 2010 reporting cycles. Petitioner states that this 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 Lt. Musgrove did successfully complete the requirement.

- On September 8, 2011, the District’s Governing Board issued SFWMD Order No. 2011-152-DAO-ROW to Florida Power and Light Company (Application No. 11-0630-1). The petition for waiver was received by the District on June 30, 2011. Notice of receipt of the petition requesting the waiver was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly, Vol. 37, No. 28, on July 15, 2011. No public comment was received. This Order provides a waiver of the District’s criteria to allow for the proposed installation of a vehicular access gate crossing the north right of way of L-12 located approximately 2.5 miles southeast of the intersection of C.R. 700 (State Road 80) and US Highway 441; Section 26, Township 43 South, Range 39 East, Palm Beach County. Specifically, the Order grants a waiver from subsections 40E-6.011(4) and (6), Florida Administrative Code, and the Basis of Review for Use or Occupancy of the Works or Lands of the District, incorporated by reference in subsection 40E-6.091(1), Florida Administrative Code, which governs the placement of above-ground permanent and/or semi-permanent encroachments within 40' of the top of the canal bank within works or lands of the District. Generally, the Order sets forth the basis of the Governing Board decision to grant the waiver as follows: 1) the proposed facilities will not significantly interfere with the District’s current ability to perform necessary construction, alteration, operation, and routine maintenance activities; and 2) the Order granting a waiver from the subject rule is based upon a substantial hardship.

The petition for variance was received on June 14, 2011, seeking a variance from paragraph 62-602.270(1)(a), F.A.C., to allow students enrolled in the Water Resources Technology Program at the Heritage High School Academy of Environmental Studies to be eligible to take the Level C Water and/or Wastewater examination for operator certification prior to obtaining a high school diploma. The petition was assigned OGC File No.: 11-0873. Notice of receipt of this petition was published in the Florida Administrative Weekly on July 15, 2011. No public comment was received. The final order granted a variance from the licensure examination requirement because the petitioner demonstrated substantial hardship if made to comply with the current examination requirement. The conditions require that the opportunity to be eligible to take the Level C Water and/or Wastewater examination for operator certification prior to obtaining a high school diploma is limited to high school seniors in Heritage High School Academy of Environmental Studies’ Water Resources Technology Program; seniors in the Program are only eligible for examination after January 1 in the second semester of their senior year; the School Board of Brevard County shall provide documentation in writing confirming that each student has met all graduation requirements, is projected to graduate on time, and has met all requirements of the Water Resources Technology Program, prior to each senior being allowed to register for the Level C Water and/or Wastewater examination; within 10 days of receipt of a copy of each student’s high school diploma, the Department’s Operator Certification Program will release the examination scores to Heritage High School, the Office of Career and Technical Education, Brevard Public Schools, and the student; scores will not be released prior to the Department’s receipt of a high school diploma; and, the variance shall be for a period of 5 years from the date of the Final Order and does not relieve applicants from meeting all other examination and licensure requirements.

A cumulative effects evaluation study looks at changes in an area through time and how these changes affect resources in that area. This study examines how past, present and reasonably foreseeable future changes affect eight protected species found within southwest Florida. The eight species under study include: Florida panther, Florida black bear, Florida sandhill crane, wood stork, red-cockaded woodpecker, gopher tortoise, eastern indigo snake, and mangrove fox squirrel.
The purpose of this meeting is to review information associated with past to present actions that may have affected the eight study species and to discuss changes in the project study area that may have resulted from these actions. The meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss parameters that will be used in environmental models and species specific habitat models. These models, in association with established development and agricultural models, will be used to assess cumulative effects on the eight study species.

- FDOT is developing the design for two repaving projects to improve the roadway along State Road 5/Overseas Highway in Monroe County. The limits for one of the proposed projects extend from Jerome Avenue (Mile Marker 81.4) to Whale Harbor Channel (Mile Marker 84.0). The limits for the other project extend from Whale Harbor Channel (Mile Marker 84.0) to the entrance of Smugglers Cove (Mile Marker 85.6). Both projects are in the Village of Islamorada.
The proposed work for this project includes repaving the existing roadway to extend the life of the road, changing the existing typical section to include bicycle lanes, and reworking the existing northbound shoulder area along the project corridor to create a 10-foot wide paved shoulder that can be utilized during as a through lane during emergency evacuations. New signs, pavement markings and minor drainage improvements will also be included.
