Department:

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Chapter:

REGULATION OF RECOVERED MATERIALS

Overview

RULE:

62-722.200	Definitions
62-722.400	Procedures for Certification and Reporting

PURPOSE:

The Department is proposing rule amendments to address legislative changes to Chapter 403, F.S., which impact certification and reporting requirements related to the regulation of recovered materials. As required by s. 3, ch. 2017-167, Laws of Florida, the new rules will update the certification and reporting requirements governed by s. 403.7046, F.S., by expanding them to include pyrolysis facilities and any person who handles, purchases, receives, recovers, sells or is an end-user of post-use polymers and to pyrolysis facilities. In addition, due to the repeal of the statutory public records exemptions reiterated in Rule 62-722.400, F.A.C, by s. 16, ch. 2022-5, Laws of Florida, the new rules will provide guidance for asserting a claim of trade secret for information reported to the Department pursuant to s. 403.7046, F.S., or any rule adopted pursuant thereto.

SUBJECT:

Rule 62-722.200, Definitions, the Department is removing definitions that are defined in s. 403.703, F.S., per s. 120.545, F.S., clarifying definitions for the purpose of implementing s. 403.7046, F.S., and including the term "post-use polymers" in addition to the term "recovered materials" throughout each rule. For Rule 62-722.400, Procedures for Certification and Reporting, the Department is updating existing certification and reporting forms, and creating new ones to distinguish between business activities related to recovered materials and post-use polymers and to clarify requirements related to reporting trade secret information.
