Failure of any of the parties to file a response will constitute a waiver of objection to the requested modification. Any person who is not already a party to the certification proceeding and whose substantial interest is affected by the requested modification has 30 days from the date of publication of this public notice to object in writing. The written objection must be filed (received) in the Office of General Counsel of the Department, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, M.S. 35, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-3000.

Mediation is not available in this proceeding.
