Staff requests to initiate the formal rulemaking process that would finalize existing emergency regulations providing a structure for pursuing multiple Covered Electronic Waste (CEW) recycling payment rates. In May 2018, CalRecycle adopted emergency regulations that split the single CEW recycling payment rate paid to recyclers into separate payment rates for cathode ray tube (CRT) CEW and non-CRT CEW. These regulations established the regulatory structure necessary to accommodate a differential recycling payment rate for non-CRT CEW. The emergency regulations were readopted in May 2020 and will expire in May 2022.
