ASSUMPTION
Officials with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) assume this proposal will shift the authority over tank rules from the Clean Water Commission to the Hazardous Waste Commission. The department would not anticipate any fiscal impact from this proposal.
Officials with the Department of Agriculture assume this proposal changes jurisdiction over underground storage tanks from the Clean Water commission to the Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Commission. There is no fiscal impact to the Department of Agriculture/Weights and Measures Division.
Officials with the Office of Attorney General assume no fiscal impact to their agency.
Officials with the Office of the Secretary of State assume this proposal provides for changing underground storage tank rules from the Clean Water Commission to the Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Commission. The Department of Natural Resources, Hazardous Waste Management Commission is charged with creating rules to administer this fund. The Clean Water Commission may also rescind the rules for underground storage tanks from their division. These rules would be published in both the Missouri Register and the Code of State Regulations. Based on experience with other divisions, the rules, regulations, and forms issued by the
ASSUMPTION (continued)
Department of Natural Resources, Hazardous Waste Management Commission and Clean Water Commission could require as many as 64 pages in the Code of State Regulations and half again as many pages in the Missouri Register because cost statements, fiscal notes and the like are repeated in Code. These costs are estimated. The estimated cost of a page in the Register is $23 and the estimated cost of a page in the Code is $27. The actual cost could be more or less than the numbers given. The impact of the legislation in future years is unknown and depends upon the frequency and length of rules filed, amended, rescinded or withdrawn. [(64x$27)+(96x$23)=$3,936]
Oversight assumes the SOS could absorb the costs of printing and distributing regulations related to this proposal. Oversight assumes at least part of the cost of printing and distributing rules relating to this proposal could be recovered through sales of the regulations. If multiple bills pass which require the printing and distribution of regulations at substantial costs, the SOS could request funding through the appropriation process. Any decisions to raise fees to defray costs would likely be made in subsequent fiscal years.
