The effect of the comprehensive update will ensure consistency with statutory authority under s. 374.976, F.S., and incorporate the District’s current policy and procedures for obtaining financial assistance under the Program.

SUMMARY:

The proposed amendments to this Rule Chapter include revisions that: add new definitions and forms; clarify the rule provisions for project applications, eligibility, administration and accountability; include new sections on Scope, Forms, Disaster Relief Projects, Real Property Acquisitions, and Acknowledgment; include new sections specific to funding eligibility for Public Navigation Projects, Boater Recreation Projects, Environmental Education Projects, Boater Safety and Education Projects and Marine Law Enforcement Projects.
