RULE:

68-1.003

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Grants Program

PURPOSE:

This rule development will delete the reference to a repealed rule for the Florida Boating Improvement Program and incorporate program policies and guidelines by reference in compliance with statutory changes. It will also delete the reference to a repealed rule for the Boating Safety Grant Program, change the program title to Boating Safety and Education Grant Program to better relate the overall objective, and incorporate policies and guidelines by reference. The Boating Infrastructure Grant Program is also being added with the program policies and guidelines incorporated by reference.
The Florida Boating Improvement Program policies and guidelines are being changed to comply with Section 206.606, Florida Statutes, that was amended to add other uniform waterway markers, public boat ramps, lifts, and hoists, marine railways, and other public launching facilities, and derelict vessel removal as eligible uses of program funds and deleted aquatic weed control. Changes also include a new funding source for public launching facilities, giving priority to counties with more than 35,000 registered vessels, pursuant to Section 328.72(15), Florida Statutes.
The Boating Infrastructure Grant Program policies and guidelines will follow the requirements of Section 7404 of the Sportfishing and Boating Safety Act of 1998 and the Federal Register, 50 CFR Part 86.
