Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES

Division:

Division of Standards

Chapter:

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS INSPECTION

Overview

RULE:

5F-11.071	Rate of Assessments; Effective Date (Transferred)
5F-11.072	Payment of Assessments; Penalties (Transferred)

PURPOSE:

These proposed rule changes increase the Marketing Order assessment rate collected on each gallon of odorized propane gas sold and consumed in Florida to implement results of an industry referendum and clarify the assessment payment procedure.

SUMMARY:

Proposed changes revise the Marketing Order assessment collected on sales of odorized propane by increasing the assessment by an additional one-tenth of one cent.  This increase was approved by referendum conducted by the Department on behalf of the liquefied petroleum gas industry pursuant to Section 527.23, Florida Statutes.  Assessment dollars are utilized to pay for all plans and programs approved by the Florida Propane Gas Education, Safety, and Research Council on the industry's behalf.  These programs are established in order to maintain present propane markets or create new or larger markets for propane gas produced or marketed within Florida.  Additional rule changes clarify that assessment payments are based on total "volume" of propane sold during each quarter as opposed to "amount" and correct the name of the form that must be submitted in order to timely report gallons-sold subject to the assessment.  Other changes establish when the assessment increase shall take effect.
