Notice of Proposed Rule

WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICTS
Suwannee River Water Management District
RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:
40B-1.706: Fees
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The purpose of the proposed rule development is to amend the citations within this section with regard to water use permitting. The effect of the proposed amendments is to maintain consistency with amendments to Chapter 40B-2, F.A.C., which became effective January 4, 2010.
SUMMARY: This proposed development will amend citations within this section with regard to water use permitting.
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 District has determined no SERC is required because the amendments to this rule will not make any changes to costs associated with this rule. The amendments will correct citations to the correlating rule and make proposed withdrawal amounts consistent between this rule and the correlating rule. The amendment to this rule is therefore not expected to require legislative ratification pursuant to subsection 120.541(3), Florida Statutes.
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.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 373.044, 373.109, 373.113, 373.118, 373.171 FS.
LAW IMPLEMENTED: 218.075, 373.109 FS.
IF REQUESTED WITHIN 21 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THIS NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE SCHEDULED AND ANNOUNCED IN THE FAW.
