The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is supporting legislation, sponsored by Senator Thad Altman and Representative Jimmy Patronis, to clarify that Title V air permit fees are not required for greenhouse gas emissions and to change the fee-calculation formula to be based on “actual” emissions rather than allowable emissions. In addition, fee provisions based on allowable emission limits are removed. A copy of draft amendments to section 403.0872, Florida Statutes, is available here.
