Subject of Possible Rule Making: The board of boiler rules; WAC 296-104-010 Administration—What are the definitions of terms used in this chapter?, and 296-104-700 What are the inspection fees—Examination fees—Certificate fees—Expenses?

Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The purpose of this rule making is to consider amendments to the boiler rules under chapter 296-104 WAC, Board of boiler rules—Substantive. The amendments would affect the fees and definitions for boilers and pressure vessels. The amendments under consideration would increase fees by the fiscal growth factor for boiler and pressure vessel inspections and other boiler program services. The fee increases are needed to cover increased operating expenses and ensure the programs' revenues cover expenditures. The amendments would also modify the definition of pool heaters to clarify the inspection requirements.

Process for Developing New Rule: The board of boiler rules reviews and approves all rule amendments. Interested parties can participate in the adoption process for the new rules and formulation of the proposed rules before publication by contacting the individual listed below. The public can also participate, after amendments are proposed, by providing written comments and/or testimony during the public hearing and comment process.
