PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY

BOARD OF

PILOTAGE COMMISSIONERS

[Filed September 15, 2021, 9:33 a.m.]

Subject of Possible Rule Making: WAC 363-116-301 New revenue collection.

Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: Chapter 88 RCW, Pilotage Act.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The board of pilotage commissioners (BPC) is complying with the legislative intent through the passage of SB [SSB] 5165, which stipulates certain conditions in order for the BPC to receive state appropriation from the pilotage account solely for self-insurance liability premium expenditures. This revised rule defines these two stipulations.

Process for Developing New Rule: Regular public notice process followed by a public hearing for board adoption.

Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Jaimie C. Bever, Executive Director, 2901 3rd Avenue, Suite 500, Seattle, WA 98121, phone 206-515-3887, email BeverJ@wsdot.wa.gov, website www.pilotage.wa.gov.
