To promote consistency in how mercury-added products are regulated, department staff may consult with other U.S. states that regulate mercury switches, relays, instruments or measuring devices before rendering a decision on an exemption application under this rule. An applicant for exemption shall provide the department with a copy of all written responses to similar exemption applications, if any, submitted by the applicant to another state.
