PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed amendments to Rules 12B-7.008 and 12B-7.026, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), is to adopt, by reference, changes to forms used by the Department in the administration of the severance tax imposed on oil, gas, sulfur, and solid minerals produced in Florida.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendments to Rule 12B-7.008, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), adopt, by reference, updates to Forms DR-144 and DR-144ES for reporting the tax on gas and sulfur production in Florida.
The proposed amendments to Rule 12B-7.026, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), adopt, by reference, updates to Forms DR-142 and DR-142ES for reporting the severance taxes on the solid mineral production in Florida.
SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION:
The Agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule. A SERC has not been prepared by the agency.
The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: 1) no requirement for the Statement of Economic Regulatory Costs (SERC) was triggered under Section 120.541(1), F.S.; and 2) based on past experiences with activities for providing the public tax information and rules of this nature, the adverse impact or regulatory cost, if any, do not exceed nor would exceed any one of the economic analysis criteria in a SERC, as set forth in Section 120.541(2)(a), F.S.
Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
