Original Notice.

     Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 07-06-045.

     Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Chapter 16-303 WAC, Seed assessment, fees for seed services and seed certification.

     Hearing Location(s): Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA), Room 238, 21 North 1st Avenue, Yakima, WA 98902, on September 25, 2007, at 11:00 a.m.

     Date of Intended Adoption: October 12, 2007.

     Submit Written Comments to: Teresa Norman, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560, e-mail tnorman@agr.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-2085, by 5 p.m. on September 26, 2007.

     Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact the agency receptionist by calling TTY (360) 902-1996 or (360) 902-1976.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This proposal is intended to provide a comprehensive review of the seed program's fee structure. This review ensures that the fees being charged for services provided by the seed program are in correlation to the amount of time needed to render that service and ensure cost recovery for the program. This review resulted in the recommendation to raise some fees and to lower some fees, and suggests the creation of fees for services that the program now offers, but for which no fee exists. The seed program worked in consultation with the seed program advisory committee and industry to develop the current proposal to ensure that revenues collected by the program are sufficient to ensure financial solvency of the seed program.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: At the direction of the seed program advisory committee, a special committee was formed to review the seed program fee schedule. The committee was comprised of industry members representing all seed industry groups. These include representatives from each major seed crop group, as well as lab, certification, and phytosanitary customers. This committee met and participated in a complete review of the fee schedule. There was unanimous consensus from this committee on each proposed modification to the fee schedule.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapters 15.49, 34.05 RCW.

     Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 15.49 RCW.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     Name of Proponent: Members of the special seed program fee committee - A consortium of seed industry representatives, private.

     Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting and Implementation: Victor Shaul, Operations Manager, Yakima, (509) 225-2630; and Enforcement: Fawad Shah, Program Manager, Yakima, (509) 225-2636.

     No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. Even though WSDA has an exemption to Initiative 601, which limits the rate of increase of fees, the proposed increase in the fees charged by the WSDA for seed testing and certification services does not exceed the OFM fiscal growth rate factor of 5.53% for the fiscal year 2008. WSDA concludes that this fee increase does not impose "more than a minor" cost upon the seed industry and therefore a small business economic impact statement is not required according to RCW 19.85.030 (1)(a).

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The WSDA is not a listed agency in RCW 34.05.328 (5)(a)(i).
