asked the Department for notice of agency action may file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of such notice,
regardless of the date of publication.
The petitioner shall mail a copy of the petition to the applicant at the address indicated above at the time of
filing. The failure of any person to file a petition within fourteen days of receipt of notice shall constitute a waiver of
that person's right to request an administrative determination (hearing) under Sections 120569 and 12057, Florida
Statutes. Any subsequent intervention (in a proceeding initiated by another patty) will be only at the discretion of
the presiding officer upon the filing of a motion in compliance with Rule 29-106.205, Florida Adtaninistrative Code.

Because the administrative bearing process is designed to formulate final agency action, the filing of a petition
means that the Department's final action may be different from the position taken by it in this notice. Persons whose
substantial interests will be affected by any such final decision of the Department have the right to petition to become
a party to the proceeding, in accordance with the requirements set forth above.
Mediation under Section 120.573, Florida Statutes, is not available for this proceeding.
