Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 34 No. 33, August 15, 2008 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

These changes are being made in response to comments received from the Joint Administrative procedures Committee in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S.

Subsection (7), of the proposed rule has been amended to read:

(f) A grant recipient shall administer the removal and disposal of designated derelict vessels as an independent governmental authority and not as an agent or representative of the Commission. In the event the Division determines that one or more derelict vessels included in a grant constitutes an immediate hazard to navigation by obstructing or threatening to obstruct navigation or in any way constitutes an immediate danger to the environment or to the public safety, the grant recipient or the Division will remove the vessel immediately pursuant to Section 823.11(3)(a), F.S. If the Division removes the vessel or vessels, the grant will be amended to reduce the grant amount by the amount expended by the Division for such removal, or terminated if the amount expended by the Division for such removal exceeds the amount of the grant.
