Rule Development - Children’s Safe Product's - Reporting RuleOverview of the ProcessTo develop a rule for the reporting requirements created by the Children’s Safe Product Act, chapter 70.240 RCW, Ecology decided to use the pilot-project process as authorized under Washington’s Administrative Procedures Act (RCW 34.05.313). There are two phases to this effort: 1) advisory group and 2) pilot rule. We are currently seeking volunteers for the pilot phase.Phase 1 - Advisory GroupThe advisory group has been selected. Due to the different time zones and conflicting schedules of the advisory group members, we have decided to try and do as much of the work as possible on the web.The new process is as follows:
Phase 2 - Pilot RuleThe pilot project will last 3-4 months. The purpose of the pilot rule will be to test the solutions to issues that were identified by the advisory group. Any entity who would be subject to reporting requirements established by the law can participate. Ecology will not limit the number of entities who can participate in the pilot project. Participants will not be subject to any enforcement under the pilot-rule during the pilot project. Written guidelines for how the pilot project will be conducted will be provided to all interested parties.How will the pilot-project results be used? Ecology will use the pilot project results to decide if the piloted rule needs to be adjusted before continuing the rule process. Pilot-Project Milestones & Timeline
Public InvolvementEcology will inform the public about this rule process to meet public involvement requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 34.05 RCW) in the following ways.Web Site. Ecology will regularly update this rule development page with information on rule activities, including how to comment on the proposed rule. Email Notices (ListServ). Ecology created an electronic mailing list (ListServ) to email information and notices to persons interested in this process. Ecology encourages interested persons, including those involved with recycling facilities and transporters and the public to sign up. Meetings. All of the advisory group meetings will be open to the public; however, the Advisory Group participant number will be limited. Click here for notes from the September 9th meeting.
