Subject of Possible Rule Making: Amendments for consideration to the factory assembled structures (FAS) rules under chapter 296-150C WAC, Commercial coaches; chapter 296-150F WAC, Factory-built housing and commercial structures; chapter 296-150P WAC, Recreational park trailers; chapter 296-150R WAC, Recreational vehicles; and chapter 296-150V WAC, Conversion vendor units and medical units.

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The department of labor and industries (L&I) is considering amendments to FAS rules for design plan reviews by licensed professional engineers, architects, and firms for commercial coach trailers, factory-built housing and commercial structures, recreational park trailers, recreational vehicles, and conversion vendor units (food trucks and trailers). L&I has adopted emergency rules to clarify the procedures for review and approval of design plans for commercial coaches and factory-built and commercial structures by licensed professional engineers, architects, or firms under chapters 296-150C and 296-150F WAC. The emergency rule also allows those professionals to review and approve design plans for conversion vendor units, recreational vehicles (RVs), and park model RVs under chapters 296-150P, 296-150R, and 296-150V WAC. This rule making considers the adoption of permanent rules. L&I will be soliciting input from stakeholders in development of the permanent rules.
