Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 98-03-088
Title of Rule: Chapter 16-212 WAC, Grain, hay, bean and peas--Inspection fees
Purpose: Establishes fees for services performed by the department in sampling, testing, grading, weighing and inspecting grain, pulses and similar commodities
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 22.09.790
Statute Being Implemented: Chapter 22.09 RCW
Summary: Adjust the grain inspection fee schedule relative to overtime, hourly rates, charges per hundredweight, and the elimination of weekly averaging. Also, clarify the working and format of the fee schedule document
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The current fee schedule is not representative of grain inspection operating costs, as required by statute. Amendments to the fee schedule will closer align the fee document with statutory requirements and will be easier to read and understand
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting, Implementation and Enforcement: Randall R. Deike, Olympia, (360) 902-1921
Name of Proponent: Department of Agriculture, governmental.
Agency Comments or Recommendations, if any, as to Statutory Language, Implementation, Enforcement, and Fiscal Matters: Fee increases are within fiscal growth factor limits
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: The rule establishes the schedule of user fees for grain inspection program services and related activities. These fees are the sole source of funds for program activities, and revenue generated must be adequate to support it. This proposed fee increase more accurately reflects the costs of providing service and should enable the grain inspection program to generate enough revenue to cover expenses
Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: Increases the grain inspection fees for overtime, hourly rates, charges per hundredweight, and eliminates weekly averaging
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The financial impact on small businesses will be minimal.
Section 201, chapter 403, Laws of 1995, does not apply to this rule adoption. The Washington State Department of Agriculture is not a listed agency in section 201.
