	(d) In what amount and for how long will the board require a surety bond? The amount of a surety bond or savings account required by this chapter must be either $3,000, or the total of the highest four months' worth of tax liability for the previous twelve month period, whichever is greater.

	(ii) Surety bond and savings account amounts ((will)) may be reviewed annually and compared to the last twelve months' tax liability of the licensee. If the current bond or savings account amount does not meet the requirements outlined in this section, the licensee or permittee will be required to increase the bond amount or amount on deposit within twenty-one days.
	(e) What action will the board take when a licensee or permittee holds a surety bond and does not pay taxes due or pays late? If a licensee or permittee holds a surety bond or savings account, the board will immediately start the process to collect overdue taxes from the surety company or assigned account. If the exact amount of taxes due is not known due to missing reports, the board will estimate the taxes due based on previous production, receipts, and/or sales.
	(f) Can a licensee or permittee request an exemption to the surety bond or savings account requirement? A licensee or permittee may make a written request to the board's financial division for an exemption from the surety bond or assignment of savings account requirements. The board will grant an exemption once the following criteria are met ((for each of the requesting licensee's locations)):
	(i) The licensee or permittee has filed reports and paid applicable taxes to the board for at least two years immediately prior to the exemption request; and
	(ii) There have been no late or missing reports or tax payments during the previous two years.

     (c) A "beer distributor" means a distributor selling to a retailer, a domestic brewery acting as a distributor, a microbrewery acting as a distributor, or a certificate of approval holder with a direct shipping to Washington retailer endorsement selling beer of its own production to a retailer.

     (2) Filing deadlines.

(a) Beer supplier filing deadlines	(b) Beer distributor filing deadlines
All price postings, distributor appointments, written contracts, and memoranda of oral agreements must be received by the board not later than the twenty-fifth day of the month, and if approved will become effective on the first day of the second calendar month following the date of filing.	All price postings must be received by the board not later than the tenth day of the month, and if approved will become effective on the first day of the calendar month following the date of filing.

     (c) The board will allow up to an additional five days for revisions of filings to correct errors and omissions filed during the current price posting period. The board may in individual cases, for good cause shown, extend the filing date.

     (d) When a price posting has been deposited in the United States mail addressed to the board, it will be considered filed or received on the date shown by the United States post office cancellation mark on the envelope, or on the date it was mailed if it is established to the satisfaction of the board that the actual mailing occurred on an earlier date.

     (3) Filing date exceptions -- Whenever a filing deadline falls on Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, a price posting may be filed not later than midnight the next business day.

     (4) No changes from previous month--If a beer supplier or distributor makes no changes in any items or prices listed in the last filed and approved price posting, the prices will remain in effect for each succeeding posting period until a revised price posting is filed and approved.

     (5) Temporary price reductions -- If a beer supplier or distributor files price postings that list selected items on which prices are temporarily reduced for one posting period only, these price postings must clearly reflect all items, the selling price, and the posting period for which the price reductions will be in effect. At the expiration of the posting period during which the reductions were in effect, the special price posting will become void and the last regularly filed and effective price posting will again become effective.

     (6) Distributor changes--

     (a) The following guidelines apply when a beer supplier makes a distributor change outside of the regular distributor appointment timelines outlined in subsection (2) of this rule:

     (i) The supplier must notify the board in writing that he/she wishes to change his/her current distributor and appoint a new distributor to be effective immediately.

     (ii) The new distributor must agree to take the currently posted prices of the old distributor until the new distributor is able to post his/her own prices during the next regular posting period.

     (iii) If a beer supplier has a territory or brand agreement with a distributor and wants to change a distributor appointed to a certain brand(s) or territory(ies), the board may allow the new distributor to assume the prior distributor's price postings for the brand and/or territory in order to avoid disruption of the market.

     (b) A beer supplier must notify the board if any of the contracts or agreements listed in this rule are revised or terminated by either party. The board may immediately authorize a price posting if a beer distributor assumes the wholesale price postings from the previously appointed distributor.

     (c) Prices and other conditions of price postings in effect at the time of the distributor change may not be changed until subsequent filings are submitted to the board and become effective.

     (7) Price postings for new distributors--When the board issues a new beer distributor license, the licensee may file an initial price posting and request that the price posting be placed into effect immediately. The board may grant this immediate approval if the price posting is in compliance with this rule and with all other applicable laws and rules.

     (8) Accommodation sales -- The provisions of this rule do not apply, and filings are not required, when a beer distributor makes an accommodation sale to another beer distributor and this sale is made at a selling price that does not exceed the laid-in cost of the beer being sold. Accommodation sales may only be made when the distributor purchasing the beer is an appointed distributor of the supplier, when the distributor is an authorized purchaser of the brand and product being sold, and when the supplying distributor is appointed by the supplier.

The board may grant this immediate approval if the price posting is in compliance with this rule and with all other applicable laws and rules.

     (8) Accommodation sales -- The provisions of this rule do not apply, and filings are not required, when a wine distributor makes an accommodation sale to another wine distributor and this sale is made at a selling price that does not exceed the laid-in cost of the wine being sold. Accommodation sales may only be made when the distributor purchasing the wine is an appointed distributor of the supplier, when the distributor is an authorized purchaser of the brand and product being sold, and when the supplying distributor is appointed by the supplier.

AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 94-03-060, filed 1/14/94, effective 2/14/94)

WAC 314-60-105   General guidelines -- Exempt records.   The following general guidelines relate to the board's records, or portions thereof, that are, or may be, considered as exempt from public disclosure under the provisions of the Public Disclosure Law, chapter ((42.17)) 42.56 RCW.

     A general rule in connection with the application of any of the exemptions set forth below is that such exemptions shall be inapplicable to the extent that information, the disclosure of which would violate personal privacy or vital governmental interest, can be deleted from the specific records sought. No exemption will be construed to permit the non-disclosure of statistical information which is not descriptive of any readily identifiable person or persons.

     The list of records and material generally considered exempt from disclosure by the board includes, but is not limited to, the following:

     (1) Personal information of the board members and its entire staff as may be contained in the personnel records of each member or employee, including all applications for public employment, resumes, and other materials submitted relating to the applicant, and residential addresses of members, employees or volunteers, with the exception that the employee's name, job title, and rate of pay for said job title, will be furnished. (See RCW ((42.17.310 (1)(b), (t) and (u))) 42.56.230(2), and 42.56.250 (2) and (3).)

     (2) Audits of, and investigation reports concerning, individual licensees, except when cited by the board as the basis for disciplinary action taken against the licensee. (See RCW ((42.17.310 (1)(d))) 42.56.240(1).)

     (3) Intelligence information and investigative data and reports pertaining to the enforcement of the liquor laws and the board's regulations, the nondisclosure of which is essential to law enforcement or to the protection of any person's right to privacy. (See RCW ((42.17.310 (1)(d))) 42.56.240(1).)

     (4) Special order requests and records of purchases by any person or persons, including ((class H)) spirits, beer, and wine restaurant licensees. (See RCW 66.16.090.)

     (5) The board's records during the process of lease negotiations, when it would be both unfair and inequitable to disclose to contending parties what another party may have bid or offered. (See RCW ((42.17.310 (1)(g))) 42.56.260.)

     (6) The names of complainants in connection with alleged liquor violations, if disclosure would endanger any person's life, physical safety, or property except when the complainant authorizes the release of his or her name at the time the complaint is submitted. (See RCW ((42.17.310 (1)(e))) 42.56.240(2).)

     (7) Computer program and research data of the board within five years of the request for disclosure when disclosure would produce private gain and public loss. (See RCW ((42.17.310 (1)(h))) 42.56.270(1).)

     (8) Preliminary drafts, notes, recommendations, and intraagency memorandums in which opinions are expressed or policies formulated or recommended except that a specific record shall not be exempt when publicly cited by the board in connection with board action. (See RCW ((42.17.310 (1)(i))) 42.56.280.)

     (9) Financial or proprietary information supplied to the board by a domestic winery, brewery, or microbrewery, acting as its own distributor, or certificate of approval holder with a direct shipping to Washington retailer endorsement, containing the identity and amount of beer or wine sold directly to licensed Washington retailers. (See RCW 66.24.206 (1)(a), 66.24.270 (2)(a), and 42.56.270.)

     (10) Financial or proprietary information supplied to the board by a licensed Washington liquor retailer containing the identity and amount of beer or wine purchased directly from a domestic winery, brewery, microbrewery, or a certificate of approval holder with a direct shipping to Washington retailer endorsement. (See RCW 66.24.210, 66.24.290, and 42.56.270.)
