Section 4 of Gubernatorial Executive Order 95-359 provides that all federal applications that originate from non-state agencies, such as local governments and non-profit organizations, and that have no significant effect on Florida’s environment, are exempted from the intergovernmental coordination and review process overseen by the State Clearinghouse. To put the exemption criteria simply, your project is exempt if it does not involve construction or wetland dredge/fill activities. When you fill out your Application for Federal Assistance (Standard Form 424), it may be forwarded to the federal funding agency without going through the state review process. Please check: “b. Program is subject to E.O. 12372 but has not been selected by the State for review.” in Box No. 19 of SF 424. If you have any questions concerning the state intergovernmental review process or exemption criteria, please don’t hesitate to contact me at (850) 245-2170 or Lauren.Milligan@dep.statefl.us. Best of luck! Yours sincerely, Lauren P.

They are requiring us to check with you to see if the app needs an E.O. 12372 State review. Although new facilities are an authorized expenditure under the grant, we will not be building or modifying any structures. WE will only buy a fingerprint scanner and computer that will be set up in an existing building. Does this require a State review? Thank you. Inspector George S.
