Notice is hereby given that the following correction has been made to the proposed rule in Vol. 35 No. 17, May 1, 2009 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

Although the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking stated that a Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs (SERC) had been prepared and was available, the Notice did not summarize the SERC. The following is a Summary of the Statement of Estimated Regulatory Costs:

● The estimate of the number of individuals likely to be required to comply with this rule amendment is approximately 134.

● The type of individuals likely to be affected by the rule are employees of any of Florida’s county property appraiser offices who wish to apply for credentials to perform federally related financial transaction and do not currently hold real property appraiser credentials.

● The department implementing the proposed rule will incur no additional costs because the department intends to enforce the proposed rule within its current workload with existing staff.

● There will be minimal costs to the impacted employees of county appraiser offices who apply on a voluntary basis.

● There is no small county or small city that will be impacted by the proposed rule.

This correction does not affect the substance of the rule as it appeared in the Florida Administrative Weekly as outlined above.

THE PERSON TO BE CONTACTED REGARDING THE ABOVE CORRECTION IS: Thomas W. O’Bryant, Jr., Deputy Director, Division of Real Estate, 400 West Robinson Street, Hurston Building, North Tower, Suite #N801, Orlando, Florida 32801
