Overview
The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) is proposing permanent regulations to implement a unified set of hearing procedures applicable to CalRecycle’s informal hearings. These standardized procedures aim to ensure consistency across all CalRecycle informal hearings.
These proposed regulations conform to the Administrative Procedure Act. The regulations aim to promote consistency, transparency, and accessibility in the hearing process.
Current Status
CalRecycle will be holding an informal public workshop to solicit feedback from the public, the regulated community, and other interested persons on draft regulatory language.
Details of how to participate and submit questions and feedback at this workshop are included below.
Current Documents
Formal rulemaking documents will be published on this webpage once CalRecycle files a formal public notice of the proposed regulations with the Office of Administrative Law (OAL).
A copy of the workshop presentation and discussion document has been posted to the public notice in advance of the workshop.
Input from Interested Parties
CalRecycle will hold the hybrid public workshop starting at 9:00 am on December 11, 2024, to solicit feedback from interested parties on this matter.
The public workshop will be a hybrid in-person and virtual workshop, accessible in person at:
Byron Sher Auditorium
Located on the 2nd floor
CalRecycle headquarters
1001 I Street, Sacramento, California.
The Byron Sher Auditorium is wheelchair accessible.
The public workshop will also be accessible virtually via Zoom for direct participation and via Webcast for observation only. To attend virtually via Zoom, you must register in advance. Registration is free.
To observe the public workshop via Webcast, please go to the Public Meeting Live Webcasts. Webcast participants will not be able to ask questions. If you are participating remotely and anticipate providing comments, it is recommended to join through Zoom. No registration is necessary to view the Webcast.
Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available in-person at the workshop and remotely via Zoom or webcast. For in-person interpretation services, headsets will be available and can be provided by CalRecycle staff prior to or during the workshop. If you need interpretation services in a language other than Spanish, please notify CalRecycle at regulations@calrecycle.ca.gov by December 2, 2024, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
