Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 46.79.030, 46.80.030.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Currently there exists conflicting information in the RCW and WAC on who to contact for inspections for vehicle wreckers, hulk haulers, and scrap processors. The change will provide uniform contact information for inspections.

Local chief of police also perform inspections (if business is located in a city with population of more than five thousand).
Process for Developing New Rule: Negotiated rule making.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication. Interested parties may send in comments by mail, phone, facsimile, or e-mail.
