Admin. Code R. 14-86.003; or
    (b) Accept any form, plans, specifications, drawings, calculations, or other data developed to support an application for a permit required by a governmental entity, pursuant to any rule which establishes requirements equal to or more stringent than Fl. Admin. Code R. 14-86.003
