Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: Under current law, OSPI must deduct proceeds from state forest payments under RCW 79.22.040 and 79.22.050 from school district and charter school basic education apportionment payments. OSPI is proposing to eliminate this requirement in WAC 392-121-415(2), which would allow rural school districts to have access to approximately $13 million in state forest revenues that are currently deducted from the recipient school district's basic education allocation from the state. Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision. Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: T. J. Kelly, OSPI, 600 South Washington Street, Olympia, WA, 360-725-6301. A school district fiscal impact statement is not required under RCW 28A.305.135. A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. This rule proposal, or portions of the proposal, is exempt from requirements of the Regulatory Fairness Act because the proposal: Is exempt under RCW 19.85.030. Explanation of exemptions: No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed amendment does not have an impact on small business and therefore does not meet the requirements for a statement under RCW 19.85.030 (1) or (2). March 7, 2018 Chris P. S.
