Description Pursuant to RCW 34.05.328, prior to adopting a proposed rule, all agencies in Washington State must:

This economic report contains a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) detailing the estimates of the expected costs and benefits of complying with proposed rule [Oil Spill Contingency Plan] WAC 173-182, and is intended to satisfy RCW 34.05.328.
