Short Description

The Department of Ecology (Ecology) is proposing adoption of a new rule implementing RCW 173-900. The proposed rule provides establishment requirements for a convenient, safe and environmentally sound system for collection, transportation and recycling of electronic products in Washington State. As required under RCW 19.85.030, Ecology is developing and issuing this Small Business Economic Impact Statement (SBEIS) as part of the rule adoption process. Ecology will use the information developed in the SBEIS as required by law to ensure that the proposed rules are consistent with legislative policy.

Abstract Long Description

The costs to businesses that will be considered in this analysis are the administrative fee, the time requirements for the registration form and tier re-assignment considerations.

The administrative fee disproportionately impacts small businesses analyzed on a per employee basis determined quantitatively. The time and contract costs may vary widely and are not quantified. However, it has been demonstrated that the registration form requirements and tier re-assignment aspects are deemed to disproportionately impact large businesses.
