PREPROPOSAL STATEMENT OF INQUIRY
BOARD OF REGISTRATION
FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS
AND LAND SURVEYORS
[Filed September 9, 2024, 6:51 a.m.]
Subject of Possible Rule Making: Chapter 196-26A WAC, Registered professional engineers and land surveyor fees; and chapter 196-30 WAC, Fees for on-site wastewater treatment system designers and inspectors.
Statutes Authorizing the Agency to Adopt Rules on this Subject: RCW 18.43.035, 18.210.050, 18.210.060.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: Amendments are being proposed to correct and clarify language throughout chapter 196-26A WAC. Also, we are proposing the repeal of chapter 196-30 WAC because there is a large amount of language in chapter 196-30 WAC that is a duplication of language found in chapter 196-26A WAC. Any specific language regarding on-site wastewater treatment system designers will be moved into chapter 196-26A WAC.
Process for Developing New Rule: Notice will be made to stakeholders and licensees and will be posted on our website and distributed through the board of registration for professional engineers and land surveyors and board staff. Interested parties may contact the individual listed below and the public may also participate by commenting after amendments are proposed by providing written comments or giving oral testimony during the public hearing process.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Shanan Gillespie, P.O. Box 9025, phone 360-664-1570, TTY 711, email jshanan.gillespie@brpels.wa.gov, website https://brpels.wa.gov/about-us/laws-and-rules/rulemaking-activity/.
