New forms adopted June 2023.
Individual mechanisms are available separately below.
Documentation of financial assurance must be maintained to meet the requirements of rules 62‑761 and 62‑762, F.A.C. Completed selected parts of Form 62-761.900(3) - Financial Mechanisms for Storage Tanks - must be used to meet these financial responsibility (FR)* requirements.
