Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

Division:

Division of Environmental Health

Chapter:

CONTROL OF RADIATION HAZARDS

Overview

RULE:

64E-5.1203	General Provisions
64E-5.1204	Certification Requirements for Radon Measurement Specialists and Technicians
64E-5.1205	Certification Requirements for Radon Mitigation Specialists and Technicians
64E-5.1206	Certification Requirements for Radon Measurement Businesses
64E-5.1207	Certification Requirements for Radon Mitigation Businesses

PURPOSE:

The proposed changes to Chapter 64E-5, Florida Administrative Code, address a shortfall in fee revenues for services provided by the Radon Certification Program. Twenty years ago (1988), the certification fees were set at the minimum of the range, $200.00, for all radon certification categories in Chapter 64E-5, F.A.C. No fee revisions have been made since the original fee implementation while inflation as calculated by the consumer price index has increased by 75%. A review of fee revenue versus expenditures for the fiscal year starting in 2004 through that ending in 2007, found that average revenues for the period covered only 55% of expenditures. These rule amendments reflect an increase in radon certification fees designed to ensure the future fiscal health of the certification program. Fees are to increase over a four year period in order to lessen the impact on industry.

SUMMARY:

Areas addressed include fees for services in the Radon Certification Program.
