Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Board for Waste Management Facility Operators intends to consider amending 18VAC155-20, Waste Management Facility Operators Regulations. The purpose of the proposed action is to increase licensing fees for regulants of the Board for Waste Management Facility Operators. The board must establish fees adequate to support the costs of board operations and pay a proportionate share of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation operations. By close of the next biennium, the current fee structure will not provide adequate revenue for those costs. The Board for Waste Management Facility Operators has no other source of revenue from which to fund its operations.

The agency intends to hold a public hearing on the proposed action after publication in the Virginia Register.

Statutory Authority: §§ 54.1-201 and 54.1-2211 of the Code of Virginia.
