     Hearing Location(s): Department of Licensing (DOL), 405 Black Lake Boulevard, Conference Room 2209, Olympia, WA 98502, on May 25, 2012, at 9:00 a.m.

     Date of Intended Adoption: May 29, 2012.

     Submit Written Comments to: Kezia Prater, P.O. Box 9045, Olympia, WA 98507, e-mail kprater@dol.wa.gov, fax (360) 570-7098, by May 25, 2012.

     Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: The proposed rule change will temporarily suspend partial licensing fees in an effort to maintain a balanced budget for the landscape architect licensing program.

     Reasons Supporting Proposal: The proposed rule change will allow the program to collect fees that are appropriate to the program's budget needs. Collecting full fees would result in over collection of revenue and cause the fund balance to increase at an unreasonable rate.

     Statute Being Implemented: RCW 43.24.086.

     Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.

     A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. DOL is not one of the named agencies to which this rule applies. Agencies that are not named can apply this rule to themselves voluntarily. DOL has chosen not to do this.
