Dear Electronic Waste Stakeholder:
This listserv newsletter is an update on the implementation of California's Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003 (Act) regarding the management of Covered Electronic Wastes (CEW) and other electronic waste (e-waste) management developments in California.
=========================
In this issue:
REGULATIONS PROVIDING A STRUCTURE FOR PURSUING MULTIPLE PAYMENT RATES APPROVED BY OAL AND MANUFACTURER REPORTS
#### Emergency Regulations Providing a Structure for Pursuing Multiple CEW Recycling Payment Rates Approved by OAL ####
The regulations providing a structure for pursuing multiple covered electronic waste (CEW) recycling payment rates were approved by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) on May 9, 2018 and became effective immediately.
The notice of approval, which includes the final approved language, can be found on CalRecycle’s website:
https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/Docs/107489
The regulations split the existing Standard Statewide Combined Recovery and Recycling Payment Rate into separate payment rates for CRT CEW and non-CRT CEW. At the May 15, 2018 Monthly Public Meeting, CalRecycle approved that the Standard Statewide Combined Recovery and Recycling Payment Rate for non-CRT CEW be increased from $0.49 per pound to $0.60 per pound. The proposed rate increase has been filed with OAL on May 23, 2018.
#### Manufacturer Reports Due July 1, 2018 ####
As a courtesy advisory, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) reminds manufacturers of covered electronic devices (CEDs) sold in California that the annual Manufacturer Report is due on or before July 1, 2018. More information about the Manufacturer Report requirement can be found on the CalRecycle website at:
http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Electronics/Manufacturer/Reporting/default.htm
Separately, CalRecycle staff is directly contacting CED manufacturers based on CalRecycle records and lists of contacts compiled from other state programs. CalRecycle recognizes that contacts change and is taking steps to ensure courtesy notices reach the proper officials. If you believe you may be the appropriate contact responsible for the Manufacturer Report under California’s Electronic Waste Recycling Act and you are not contacted directly in the next week, please contact Jason Smyth at jason.smyth@calrecycle.ca.gov or 916-341-6676
. Thank you.
