PROPOSED RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

LABOR AND INDUSTRIES

[ Filed October 5, 2004, 9:44 a.m. ]

Original Notice.

Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 04-13-132.

Title of Rule and Other Identifying Information: Factory assembled structures' rules (chapters 296-150C, 296-150F, 296-150M, 296-150T, and 296-150V WAC).

Hearing Location(s): Department of Labor and Industries, Room S119, 7273 Linderson Way S.E., Olympia, WA 98504, on November 12, 2004, at 9:00 a.m.

Date of Intended Adoption: December 14, 2004.

Submit Written Comments to: Christine Swanson, Department of Labor and Industries, Specialty Compliance Services, P.O. Box 44400, Olympia, WA 98504-4400, e-mail copc235@lni.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-5292, by November 1, 2004.

Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Christine Swanson by November 1, 2004, TTY (360) 902-5797 or (360) 902-6411.

Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The purpose of this rule making is to:

• Adopt the most recent International Building Codes (based on 2003 legislative changes) and other nationally recognized codes and standards.

• Make clarifying and housekeeping changes.

• Moved the electrical inspection fee for factory assembled structures (FAS) to the FAS rules. This will reduce the costs to the manufacturers, as they will not be paying for the double inspections.

• Currently when conversion vending units come to Washington state from another state and it has been constructed for more than six months and has not been altered, the unit is exempt from L&I's rules. However, we do not issue an insignia for the structure stating it is exempt. Department of Health (DOH) requires that L&I inspect the unit before DOH will certify it, therefore the unit must come back to L&I for inspection and issuance of insignia if the structure is deemed safe. This is causing businesses to come back to L&I three and four times when it is not needed. We are proposing to provide an exempt insignia through a one-time fee for inspection and the insignia. This will remove the need for businesses to pay more than once for an inspection.

Rule Sections Affected: Repealing WAC 296-150C-1345 May the electrical disconnect required for mechanical equipment be inside of or mounted on the equipment? and 296-150F-0615 May the electrical disconnect required for mechanical equipment be inside of or mounted on the equipment?; amending WAC 296-150C-0020 What definitions apply to this chapter?, 296-150C-0800 What manufacturing codes apply to commercial coaches?, 296-150C-0910 Minimum uniform and concentrated live loads, 296-150C-1080 What design and construction requirements apply to a commercial coach chassis?, 296-150C-1150 Hallways, 296-150C-1175 Glass and glazed openings, 296-150C-1180 Commercial coach exits, 296-150C-1510 Air ducts -- Expandable or multiple commercial coach connections, 296-150C-1520 Air ducts -- Duct and plenum insulation, 296-150C-3000 Commercial coach fees, 296-150F-0605 May the required toilet facilities be located in an adjacent building?, 296-150F-3000 Factory-built housing and commercial structure fees, 296-150M-0120 Where can I obtain technical assistance regarding manufactured (mobile) homes?, 296-150M-0260 Who do I contact for replacement HUD labels?, 296-150M-0302 What are some examples of work to manufactured or mobile homes that either require or do not require a permit and inspection?, 296-150M-0310 What happens if I fail to get your approval prior to altering a manufactured home?, 296-150M-0614 How may I obtain a copy of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A225.1-Manufactured Homes Installation?, 296-150T-3000 Factory-built temporary worker housing fees, 296-150V-1180 What requirements apply to conversion vendor unit exits on all units approved after December 31, 1999? and 296-150V-3000 Conversion vendor units and medical units -- Fees; and new section WAC 296-150V-0200 Who must obtain conversion vendor unit or medical unit insignia?

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The exempt criteria in RCW 34.05.310 (4)(c) and (d) which is referenced in RCW 19.85.025(3) exempts this rule from the small business economic impact statement requirement. This rule:

• Is based on Washington state statute (chapter 291, Laws of 2003 (SHB 1734));

• Clarifies language of the rule without changing its effect; and

• Decreases costs to business.

A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. A cost-benefit analysis is not required by RCW 34.05.328 as this rule making is exempt under RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(iii) and (iv). This rule:

• Is based on Washington state statute (chapter 291, Laws of 2003 (SHB 1734));

• Clarifies language of the rule without changing its effect; and

• Decreases costs to business.

•	Adopt the most recent International Building Codes (based on 2003 legislative changes) and other nationally recognized codes and standards.
•	Make clarifying and housekeeping changes.
•	Moved the electrical inspection fee for factory assembled structures (FAS) to the FAS rules. This will reduce the costs to the manufacturers, as they will not be paying for the double inspections.
•	Currently when conversion vending units come to Washington state from another state and it has been constructed for more than six months and has not been altered, the unit is exempt from L&I's rules. However, we do not issue an insignia for the structure stating it is exempt. Department of Health (DOH) requires that L&I inspect the unit before DOH will certify it, therefore the unit must come back to L&I for inspection and issuance of insignia if the structure is deemed safe. This is causing businesses to come back to L&I three and four times when it is not needed. We are proposing to provide an exempt insignia through a one-time fee for inspection and the insignia. This will remove the need for businesses to pay more than once for an inspection.

•	Is based on Washington state statute (chapter 291, Laws of 2003 (SHB 1734));
•	Clarifies language of the rule without changing its effect; and
•	Decreases costs to business.
