No. 83-2316.

July 3, 1984.
Rehearing Denied October 12, 1984.

*492 Michael F. Chenoweth, Miami, for appellants.

Josias & Goren and Samuel Goren, Fort Lauderdale, Greenberg, Traurig, Askew, Lipoff, Rosen & Quentel, Miami, and Alan S. Gold, South Miami, and Anthony J. O'Donnell, Jr., Fort Lauderdale, for appellees.

Before BARKDULL, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Because information-gathering activities of staff for the South Florida Regional Planning Council neither involved the entry of a rule or order nor determined substantial interests or otherwise precluded a point of entry into the agency's decision-making process, there was no reviewable "agency action" under Section 120.52(2) and (10), Florida Statutes (1983) and Florida Administrative Code Rule 28-5.111. Appellant's premature petition for a formal hearing, pursuant to Section 120.57(1), to review staff information-gathering and sufficiency notification activities which allegedly precluded public participation in the development of regional impact review process, was properly denied.

Affirmed.
