The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: Chapter 173-319 WAC, Comprehensive waste reduction/recycling grants program.

Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Other rules of the agency or of another agency govern the same activity as the rule, making the rule redundant.

Any person who objects to the repeal of the rule must file a written objection to the repeal within thirty days after publication of this preproposal statement of inquiry.

Address Your Objection to: Jerry Thielen, Rules Coordinator, Department of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600.

Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The rule provided financial assistance to local governments for yard waste composting studies and waste reduction and recycling public information and education campaigns. Other rules in the agency provide funding opportunities for local governments to receive grant funds.
