Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Grants Program

PURPOSE:

The proposed amendment will update the Guidelines for the Derelict Vessel and At-Risk/Public Nuisance Vessel Removal Grant Program which are incorporated by reference in subsection (7) of Rule 68-1.003, F.A.C.

The Guidelines will also be amended to set forth the block grant eligibility requirements and application process to be utilized. These proposed amendments to the Guidelines will have the effect of allowing local governments a more streamlined grant application process and result in awarded entities being able to more quickly remove derelict vessels from the waters of the State.

SUBJECT:

Subject area covered in the proposed rule is the Derelict Vessel and At-Risk/Public Nuisance Vessel Removal Grant Program, which is identified in subsection (7) of the rule.
