PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose and effect of the proposed rule amendment will be to repeal rules identified during the comprehensive rule review required by Executive Order 11-01 as duplicative, unnecessarily burdensome, or no longer necessary.
SUMMARY: Rule 62-528.360, F.A.C., is repetitive of Rule 62-528.400, which also prohibits hazardous waste injection. There are no Class IV wells in Florida and new Class IV wells are prohibited. Therefore, Rules 62-528.500, 62-528.520, 62-528.530, 62-528.540 and 62-528.550, F.A.C., are no longer needed. When Rule 62-528.530, F.A.C., is repealed, there will be no monitoring requirements for Class IV wells; however, there are no Class IV wells in Florida. Otherwise, no rules incorporate the six rules proposed here for repeal, and these rules do not affect any other rules outside Chapter 62-528, F.A.C.
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: The repeal of these rules are a result of the Department’s review pursuant to EO 11-01 and will not have an adverse impact or impose a regulatory cost.
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.
