PER CURIAM.
The Civil Procedure Rules Committee of The Florida Bar, responding to this Court's request pursuant to Florida Rule of Judicial Administration 2.130, has petitioned the Court to adopt new standard interrogatories, amending the forms in the appendix to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.976.[*]
The petition seeks to substitute new form interrogatories for those presently existing. The presently existing form interrogatories consist of:
The committee proposes to substitute the existing forms with the following:
The committee approved the proposal by unanimous vote. However, the Board of Governors of The Florida Bar voted unanimously to urge this Court not to accept the proposed Medical Malpractice Interrogatories. The proposal was advertised by way of official notice in the January 15, 1991 edition of The Florida Bar News. Responses received pursuant to the notice addressed individual interrogatories.
Having considered all of the responses, we adopt the committee's proposal as revised by this Court. The existing FORM 1 and FORM 2 interrogatories are hereby rescinded; new form interrogatories, as revised and attached in the appendix to this *581 opinion, are approved; and the existing FORM 3 shall remain in effect but is hereby redesignated as FORM 7.
It is so ordered.
SHAW, C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD, BARKETT, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.
[*]  We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 2(a) of the Florida Constitution.
