Notice is hereby given in accordance with § 2.2-4007.01 of the Code of Virginia that the Board for Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators and Onsite Sewage System Professionals intends to consider amending 18VAC160-20, Board for Waterworks and Wastewater Works Operators and Onsite Sewage System Professionals Regulations. The purpose of the proposed action is to adjust licensing fees for regulants of the board, which must establish fees adequate to support the costs of the board's operations and a proportionate share of the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation's operations. By the close of the next biennium, fees will not provide adequate revenue for those costs. The department receives no general fund money but, instead, is funded almost entirely from revenue collected for license and certificate application fees, renewal fees, examination fees, and other licensing fees. The department is self-supporting and must collect adequate revenue to support its mandated and approved activities and operations. Fees must be established at amounts that will provide that revenue. Fee revenue collected on behalf of the various boards funds the department's authorized special revenue appropriation. The board 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 of the Code of Virginia.
