  211  response.
  212         (5)(a) Unless the deadline is waived in writing by the
  213  manufacturer, each participating agency shall take final agency
  214  action on a state development approval within its authority
  215  within 60 days after a complete application is filed. The 60-day
  216  period is tolled by the initiation of a proceeding under ss.
  217  120.569 and 120.57.
  218         (b) A participating agency shall notify the manufacturer if
  219  the agency intends to deny a manufacturer’s application and,
  220  unless waived in writing by the manufacturer, the participating
  221  agency shall timely convene an informal meeting to facilitate a
  222  resolution.
  223         (c) Unless waived in writing by the manufacturer, if a

  227  under ss. 120.569 and 120.57, within 45 days after a recommended
  228  order is submitted to the agency and the parties, the state
  229  development approval within the authority of the participating
  230  agency is deemed approved. A manufacturer seeking to claim
  231  approval by default under this subsection shall notify, in
  232  writing, the clerk of the participating agency of that intent. A
  233  manufacturer may not take action based on the default approval
  234  until such notice is received by the agency clerk.
  235         (d) At any time after a proceeding is initiated under ss.
  236  120.569 and 120.57, the manufacturer may demand expeditious
  237  resolution by serving notice on an administrative law judge and
  238  all other parties to the proceeding. The administrative law
  239  judge shall set the matter for final hearing no more than 30
  240  days after receipt of such notice. After the final hearing is
  241  set, a continuance may not be granted without the written
  242  agreement of all parties.
  243         (6) Subsections (4) and (5) do not apply to permit
  244  applications governed by federally delegated or approved

  246  impose timeframes or other requirements that are prohibited by
  247  or inconsistent with such federally delegated or approved
  248  permitting programs.
  249         Section 5. Section 288.111, Florida Statutes, is created to
  250  read:
  251         288.111 Information concerning local manufacturing
