SUMMARY: The repeal of Chapter 5I-5, F.A.C., which no longer needed to operate the Forest Services’ tree planting programs.
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.
If adopted, the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative rule ratification under Section 120.541(3), Florida Statutes, (or any other statute) before becoming effective because repealing these unnecessary 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.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY: 570.07(23), 589.277 FS.
