CalRecycle considers proposed regulations for Designated Approved Collectors

CalRecycle considers proposed regulations for Designated Approved Collectors
<![CDATA[

 

The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is scheduled to consider an agenda item at its Dec. 20, 2016, Monthly Public Meeting that seeks approval to file proposed regulations with the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on the topic of Designated Approved Collectors, according to an email that went out to the agency’s E-Waste listserv. A Public Notice with more information on this item is available at www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Actions/PublicNoticeDetail.aspx?id=1951&aiid=1782.

The email reads: “Only covered electronic waste (CEW) originating from a California source is eligible for payment in the CEW recovery and recycling payment system. Existing regulations specify the documentation required to demonstrate CEW eligibility. Approved collectors that are California local governments, or the Designated Approved Collector providing service on behalf of a California local government, are relieved of certain source documentation requirements. The proposed rules would clarify aspects of the Designated Approved Collector provision, including the definition of local government and the respective roles of local government and Designated Approved Collectors, as well as the connections to the annual Form 303 HHW reporting requirements.”

CalRecycle says it plans to adopt the proposed rules as emergency regulations pursuant to Public Resources Code 42475.2. Once OAL approves them, the rules would remain in effect for two years, or until they are adopted as final regulations, whichever comes first, the agency adds.

Information on the Dec. 20 meeting can be found at www.calrecycle.ca.gov/PublicMeeting.

CalRecycle also notes in its email that it will hold an informal prerulemaking workshop relating to other aspects of the CEW program that covers the topics of definitions, limitations, recordkeeping, cancellation, cathode ray tube (CRT) and treatment residuals, claims and civil liabilities. The workshop arises from a need to finalize two emergency regulation packages adopted late 2015 and provides the opportunity to conduct minor cleanup on regulations first adopted more than a decade ago.

CalRecycle says the workshop is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. and that an agenda, background document and proposed regulatory language will be posted approximately 10 days prior to the workshop.
