Rulemaking History

At its February 18, 2004 meeting, the Board discussed revising form CIWMB 303 and directed staff to formally notice revised regulations for a 45-day comment period.

The package containing proposed regulatory language, Initial Statement of Reasons, and the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was submitted to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) for publication of the notice on June 2, 2006. The date of publication began a formal 45-day comment period.

The proposed regulations were sent out for public comment on June 2, 2006, and a public hearing for the proposed regulations was held on July 24, 2006. Comments were received during the comment period, but no comments were received at the public hearing. Based on comments and staff input, further changes were proposed for forms CIWMB 303a and 303b and the associated regulations.

A notice of a 15-day comment period was mailed (e-mailed) to interested parties on August 17, 2006. The comment period ended on September 1, 2006. One comment letter was received.

At the CIWMB Special Waste Committee Meeting on September 7, 2006, the Committee directed staff to make further changes to forms CIWMB 303a and 303b and the associated regulatory text, and to notice the changes for a second 15-day comment period.
