Proposed Rules

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Division of Elections

RULE NO.: RULE TITLE:

1S-2.043 Electronic File Reporting Relating to

Absentee Ballot Request Information,

Voting Activity, and Election Results

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: The rule needs to be amended to

provide for expanded data fields in absentee ballot request

reports and changed timing of early voting periods for reporting

statistics on early voting activity. These changes are prompted

by Ch. 2013-57, Laws of Florida, which affected some

reporting and file upload requirements relating to early voting

and absentee ballot request information, and which became

effective January 1, 2014. Further, some of the data fields are

being removed from this rule and being put into Rule 1S-2.053.

SUMMARY: This rule relates to elections and electronic file

reporting by the supervisors of elections.

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.

The Agency has determined that the proposed rule is not

expected to require legislative ratification based on the

statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is

required, the information expressly relied upon and described

herein: Legislative ratification will not be required pursuant to

Section 120.541(3), F.S., because the rule applies only to

election-related activities. Based upon past experiences with

rules of this nature, this rule will not have an adverse effect on

businesses or private-sector economic growth, job-creation,

employment or investment; nor will it increase regulatory costs

in excess of the threshold mandating legislative ratification. No

other statute requires legislative ratification for this rule.

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: 20.10(3), 97.012(1),

NOTICE, A HEARING WILL BE HELD AT THE DATE,

TIME AND PLACE SHOWN BELOW (IF NOT

REQUESTED, THIS HEARING WILL NOT BE HELD):

DATE AND TIME: Monday, September 15, 2014, 11:00 a.m.

employment or investment; nor will it increase regulatory costs

in excess of the threshold mandating legislative ratification. No

other statute requires legislative ratification for this rule.

county can use the voting systems export function to create the

precinct-level results. The Supervisor shall aggregate and

record for each precinct the total number of ballots cast by all

voters voting in the election, with subtotals for each candidate

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION


62-302.800 Site Specific Alternative Criteria

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: On May 10, 2013, Pace Water

System, Inc., submitted a petition to initiate rulemaking to

establish a Site Specific Alternative Criterion (SSAC) for pH in

the Simpson River and adjacent wetlands (Pace Swamp) in

Santa Rosa County. The Department conducted a public

workshop on November 12, 2013 in Pace, Florida. The

Department determined that a SSAC was not needed in the

Simpson River, but that there was justification for the SSAC in

Pace Swamp. The proposed rule amendment establishes a

SSAC for pH in Pace Swamp and replaces the Class III default

criteria for pH in Pace Swamp. The proposed SSAC is fully

protective of the Class III designated use of Pace Swamp.

SUMMARY: The proposed rule amendment establishes a

SSAC for pH in Pace Swamp in Santa Rosa County of not

greater than 7.0 standard units in more than ten percent of the

measurements collected in a calendar year nor vary below

natural background conditions. The proposed SSAC replaces

the Class III default criteria for pH in Pace Swamp. A public

hearing will be held before the Florida Environmental

Regulation Commission as detailed below.



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.





herein: the proposed SSAC for pH fully protects the designated

use of Pace Swamp and Pace Water, Inc., will not need to

provide additional treatment to meet the SSAC because it’s

discharge currently attains the SSAC value.

Forest Service’s participation in the Forest Legacy Program

compliments its Rural and Family Lands Protection Program by

helping to protect and conserve important forest areas through

countless benefits including forest products, job opportunities,

recreational opportunities, and the protection of water quality

update and identify priority forestlands that qualify as Forest

Legacy areas eligible for federal funding from the Forest

Legacy Program.

Landowner participation in the program, including the sale of

lands and interests in lands, is entirely voluntary. For more

information about the Forest Legacy Program, visit

http://bit.ly/1pjuaca or call the Forest Legacy Program

Coordinator at (850)681-5816.

The Florida Forest Service manages more than one million

acres of public forest land while protecting 26 million acres of

homes, forestland and natural resources from the devastating

effects of wildfire. For more information about sustainable

forestry practices and forest conservation efforts in Florida,

Venetian House, Inc., community for covenant revitalization

under Chapter 720, Part III, Florida Statutes.
