PERMANENT RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

LABOR AND INDUSTRIES

[ Filed May 29, 2001, 1:44 p.m. ]

Date of Adoption: May 29, 2001.

Purpose: Fees for electrical (chapters 296-46A and 296-401B WAC), contractor registration (chapter 296-200A WAC), elevator (chapter 296-96 WAC) and factory assembled structures (chapters 296-150C, 296-150F, 296-150M, 296-150P, 296-150R, 296-150T, and 296-150V WAC). The last time the fees for any of these programs was reviewed or increased was in June of 1999. The purpose of this project is to increase fees by 2.87% (rounded down to the nearest tenth of a dollar) and to incorporate the fee increases that are the result of chapter 159, Laws of 2001 (SSB 5101) being signed into law. The 2.87% rate is the Office of Financial Management's maximum allowable fiscal growth rate factor for fiscal year 2001. Increasing the fees as a result of SSB 5101 will ensure that the appropriate fees are charged in compliance with the new law changes and will reduce possible confusion as to what fee is charged.

In addition to the general fee increases and the fee changes resulting from SSB 5101, a new fee is being proposed to cover the cost of FAS plan review requests submitted via electronic mail. This new fee is necessary to cover the additional costs associated with receipt of and review of plans submitted electronically. Also, minor technical changes are being made to the fees in the FAS rules to include correcting a reference to electrical plan review fees per WAC 296-46A-140 and that one free copy of the rules will be provided yearly upon request.

These fee increases are necessary to comply with the law and/or to maintain the operational effectiveness of the contractor registration, factory assembled structures (FAS), electrical and elevator programs.

Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 296-46A-910, 296-46A-915, 296-96-01010, 296-96-01027, 296-96-01030, 296-96-01035, 296-96-01040, 296-96-01045, 296-96-01050, 296-96-01055, 296-96-01060, 296-96-01065, 296-150C-3000, 296-150F-3000, 296-150M-3000, 296-150P-3000, 296-150R-3000, 296-150T-3000, 296-150V-3000, 296-200A-900, and 296-401B-700.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 43.22.350, 43.22.434, 43.22.480, 43.22.500, 18.27.070, 18.27.075, 70.87.030, 19.28.041, 19.28.051, 19.28.101, 19.28.121, 19.28.161, 19.28.201, 19.28.211, 19.28.341, and chapter 159, Laws of 2001 (SSB 5101).

Other Authority: Chapters 43.22, 19.28, 18.27, and 70.87 RCW.

Adopted under notice filed as WSR 01-09-090 on April 18, 2001.

Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: WAC 296-46A-910 Inspection fees. The proposed fee in subsection (1)(b)(i) was changed from $162.53 to $162.50 in order to correct a rounding error.

WAC 296-200A-900 What fees does the department charge contractors for issuance, renewal and reinstatement of certificates of registration? A new fee structure was included for the issuance, renewal, and reinstatement of certificates of registration, effective August 1, 2001. This new fee structure is necessary to comply with chapter 159, Laws of 2001 (SSB 5101) that was signed into law and will take effect on July 22, 2001. This legislation requires the department to charge a fee of $100 for issuing, renewing, or reregistering a certificate of registration and a $20 fee to cover the costs for the service of process in an action against the contractor, the contractor's bond, or the deposit (the fee is currently $10.00). For purposes of administration, the department is requiring contractors with an even unified business identifier to pay $50 (one half of $100) for a certificate of registration that expires one year after issuance, renewal, or reinstatement or until suspended or revoked. Likewise, the department is requiring contractors with an odd unified business identifier to pay $100 for a certificate of registration that expires two years after issuance, renewal, or reinstatement or until suspended or revoked. After the first issuance, renewal or reinstatement of contractors at the $50 price all contractors will be required to comply with the two-year ($100) registration requirements.

WAC 296-46A-910   Inspection fees.   To calculate inspection fees, the amperage is based on the conductor ampacity or the overcurrent device rating.
