This is an appeal from a declaratory statement by an administrative agency. Because the appellant has not shown that the agency's interpretation of the law is clearly erroneous, we must affirm. See Regal Kitchens, Inc. v. Florida Department of Revenue, 641 So. 2d 158 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994).

Affirmed.
