EXPEDITED REPEAL
The Following Sections are Proposed for Expedited Repeal: Chapter 16-112 WAC, Egg inspection -- Invoices, bills of lading.
Rules Proposed for Expedited Repeal Meet the Following Criteria: Statute on which the rule was based has been repealed and has not been replaced by another statute providing statutory authority for the rule; and rule is no longer necessary because of changed circumstances.
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: Andy Scarborough, 1111 Washington Street, P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, WA 98504-2560, phone (360) 902-1830, fax (360) 902-2087.
Reason the Expedited Repeal of the Rule is Appropriate: The statute this section of rules was implemented under (chapter 69.24 RCW) was repealed by the Washington legislature in 1975. The need for having specific rules for "invoice" and "bill of lading" requirements is no longer of any appreciable benefit to consumers or the regulated industry. Computerization is replacing written accounts or itemized statements of shell eggs sent to the purchaser/consignee or dealer.
