Florida Air Permit Paperwork Gets a Minor Makeover
Published Date: 5/21/2026
Proposed Rule
Summary
The EPA is proposing to approve Florida’s updates to how businesses report air pollution and submit permit forms. These changes make the process easier and clearer by updating forms, deadlines, and removing an old rule. If you’re involved in Florida’s air permits, get ready to follow the new rules and submit comments by June 22, 2026—no extra costs, just smoother paperwork!
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Annual Report Deadline Moves to April 1
If your facility files Florida's annual operating report, the deadline to submit that report changes from March 1 each year to April 1 each year. This change is part of Rule 62-210.370 in the Florida SIP (Emissions Computation and Reporting).
Administrative Permit Corrections Removed From SIP
Florida is proposing to remove Rule 62-210.360 (Administrative Permit Corrections) from the State Implementation Plan. The rule would remain part of Florida's title V operating permit program, and administrative permit amendments will continue to be available for title V permits.
Forms Updated; Some Removed; Two Adopted
Florida is revising Rule 62-210.900 to add, update, rename, renumber, and change effective dates for various permit-related forms and to improve how forms are submitted. The SIP update would remove forms adopted at paragraphs 1–4 and 7 from the SIP and would include two forms in the SIP: the Annual Operating Report (DEP Form No. 62-210.900(5), effective 2017-06-22) and the Facility Relocation Notification Form (DEP Form No. 62-210.900(6), effective 2018-07-03); web addresses for these forms are also added.
No New Information Burden or Small-Entity Costs
EPA states this proposed approval does not impose an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act and is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. EPA also finds the changes do not add new federal requirements beyond state law.

The EPA is giving water systems more time to meet safety rules for two harmful chemicals, PFOA and PFOS, by extending the deadline from April 2029 to April 2031 if they ask for it.

This change mainly affects businesses planning major construction and could speed up projects without extra costs, but comments are due by June 29, 2026.
2026-09179 — Definition of Hazardous Waste Applicable to Corrective Action for Releases From Solid Waste Management Units; Withdrawal
The EPA has decided to cancel its plan to change the rules about what counts as hazardous waste for cleaning up pollution at certain waste sites.

This means certain limited uses of TCE won’t have to follow new restrictions just yet, while courts review the rules.
