(a) I am a manufacturer of regulated trash bags. What must I do if I do not meet the regulatory requirements for any reporting period?

(b) Must I provide documentation if I am requesting an exemption due to the lack of availability or due to the low quality of RPPCM? Yes, required documentation to support as claim for a quality exemption may be found in Section 17982(f) and required documentation to support a claim for an availability exemption may be found in Section 17983(b).

(c) Must records be kept to document a claim? Yes, records must be kept to assist you in documenting your certification. (See Section 17983.5 of this Article).
