Rigid Plastic Packaging Containers

This revision was approved by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) in emergency regulations on February 4, 2000. OAL made the change permanent on July 11, 2000.

Description
The California Integrated Waste Management Board approved the revision of regulations pertaining to the Rigid Plastic Packaging Container (RPPC) Program on May 23, 2000. The revision required that manufacturers, which are regulated by the RPPC law, retain records to document individual compliance for four years following the compliance period, rather than two as was originally specified in the regulations.

Affected Regulatory Code Sections
Title 14 CCR, Division 7, Chapter 4, Article 3, section 17946.5

History
Emergency regulations were approved by the OAL on February 4, 2000, that changed the length of time that manufacturers are required to retain records documenting individual compliance from two years following the compliance period to four years. A public hearing was held on May 23-24, 2000 to consider making permanent the change made by the emergency regulations. At the meeting, the Board approved the permanent regulations and directed staff to submit the regulations to OAL for final approval.

On June 1, 2000, staff submitted the Board-approved regulations to OAL for 30-working-day review. This revision was approved by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) in emergency regulations on February 4, 2000. OAL made the change permanent on July 11, 2000.
