Section 16 would establish a plastic packaging stewardship administration fee. Ecology assumes that the annual fee would be collected from one Product Stewardship Organization. In FY 2022, the stewardship organization would be required to submit a $200,000 payment for Ecology’s start-up costs by January 1, 2022. In FY 2023 and subsequent years, the stewardship organization would submit annual payments to cover Ecology’s costs of administering and enforcing the plastic packaging stewardship program as outlined in the bill. Fee revenue in FY 2029 and every five years thereafter is estimated at $29,205 based on Ecology’s estimated costs to prepare the annual billing, and review and approve the stewardship plans.
Due to the complexity, breadth and novelty of bill’s requirements, Ecology doesn’t have sufficient knowledge or background to determine ongoing enforcement costs. Enforcement would also depend on how the plan is being implemented, as well as what requests or complaints we are getting from stakeholders. Therefore, our enforcement costs and associated cash receipts on these elements are indeterminate.
The fee would be collected into the Responsible Plastic Packaging Stewardship Account established in Section 19.
No Cash Receipt Impact.
