PROPOSED RULES
LABOR AND INDUSTRIES
Original Notice.
Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 00-06-077.
Title of Rule: Factory assembled structures' rules (chapters 296-150C, 296-150F, 296-150M, 296-150P, 296-150R, and 296-150V WAC).
Purpose: State-initiated rules are being proposed to make several changes to include:
• Clarifying and housekeeping changes,
• Update a reference to and incorporate requirements from the Uniform Building Code,
• Amendments that were identified on the department's August 1997 rule review plan, and
• Incorporate necessary policy into rule as directed by the Governor's Executive Order 97-02 on Regulatory Improvement.
AMENDED SECTIONS:
WAC 296-150C-0140 Do you allow the use of alternate materials, alternate design and method of construction? "Adequate" was removed from (1)(c) of this section to eliminate the confusion because it is not defined in the chapter. This change clarifies that "justification" is required when the requirements of the chapter cannot be met without using alternate materials, alternate design or method of construction.

WAC 296-150M-0020 What definitions apply to this chapter? The definition for "equipment" was modified to clarify that equipment is equivalent to "appliances" and a list of examples were provided for what are considered to be and what are not considered to be "appliances."
WAC 296-150M-0140 Do you allow the use of alternate materials, alternate design and method of construction? "When altering a manufactured home, an" was added to make the rule easier to understand and use. "Adequate" was removed from (1)(c) of this section to eliminate the confusion because it is not defined in the chapter. This change clarifies that "justification" is required when the requirements of the chapter cannot be met without using alternate materials, alternate design or method of construction.

A new subsection (3) was added to clarify that replacement exterior siding is an alteration and requires department approval in the form of an insignia. This change incorporates necessary policy and current practice into rule.
WAC 296-150M-3000 Manufactured home fees. The reference to "OPIA" was corrected to "IPIA" which is the correct acronym for Inspection Primary Inspection Agency. Also, corrected the spelling of the word "resubmittal."
WAC 296-150P-0140 Do you allow the use of alternate materials, alternate design and method of construction? "Adequate" was removed from (1)(c) of this section to eliminate the confusion because it is not defined in the chapter. This change clarifies that "justification" is required when the requirements of the chapter cannot be met without using alternate materials, alternate design or method of construction.
WAC 296-150P-3000 Recreational park trailer fees. The reference to "state plan" was corrected to "quality control" to make the rules easier to understand and use. Also, corrected the spelling of the word "resubmittal."

WAC 296-150V-1220 What code and installation requirements apply to conversion vendor unit or medical unit systems? The reference to the National Electrical Code, Article 550 was corrected to Article 551. The reference to Article 550 is incorrect because it requires changes to the recreational vehicle electrical system, which is not the intent of the rule. This change allows the use of the appropriate recreational vehicle section of the electrical code.
NEW SECTIONS:
WAC 296-150C-1175 Glass and glazed openings. A new section was added for the installation of glass or glazed openings, including hazardous locations. This section (previously WAC 296-150B-500) was inadvertently repealed the last time rule changes were done. This change reflects current policy and industry practice.
WAC 296-150F-1346 When HVAC equipment is supplied with more than one CFM rating, which ratio do I use? A new section was added to clarify that it is the highest rated capacity that must be used. This addition incorporates current policy and industry practice into rule.
