NOTICE OF CHANGE
Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 37 No. 3, January 21, 2011 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

Proposed amendment to Rule 68E-18.005 has been changed to include the following revised subsection:

(4) All transfers must be submitted on a notarized copy of Commission form FWC 20-173 (02-11) (Spiny Lobster Trap Certificate Transfer Application, found online at: http://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-00200), (“Spiny Lobster Trap Tag Transfer”), Form No. FWC 20-173, December 1993, and which is hereby incorporated by reference), may be obtained by contacting the local Division of Law Enforcement Office, and notarized. No other form will be accepted. Both parties to the transfer must state the value paid and received for the certificates and list the tag audit numbers included in the transfer. Fraudulent statements of value paid or received for certificates by either the transferor or transferee will result in the denial of the transfer, and refer the matter to the appropriate authorities for other disposition.

No other changes were made to the rule amendments as proposed.
