DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY

[Order 14-01—Filed April 16, 2015, 11:27 a.m., effective May 17, 2015]

Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.

Purpose: Ecology is repealing two obsolete rules: Chapter 173-330 WAC, Used automotive oil recycling sign requirements for automotive oil sellers; and chapter 173-24 WAC, Tax exemptions and credits for pollution control facilities.

Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing chapters 173-330 and 173-24 WAC.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 173-330 WAC requires sellers of automotive oil to post signs informing the public about how to recycle used automotive oil. The statute enabling chapter 173-330 WAC, chapter 19.114 RCW, was repealed in 1991 and replaced by chapter 70.95I RCW. Chapter 173-330 WAC is no longer authorized or needed, and was replaced by requirements for signs found in chapter 70.95I RCW.

Chapter 173-24 WAC was originally adopted under the authority in RCW 82.34.040, which authorized ecology to "adopt such rules as it deems necessary for the administration of this chapter…." RCW 82.34.040 likewise authorizes repeal of the chapter.

Adopted under notice filed as WSR 15-03-018 on January 8, 2015.
