Plain Language Analysis:
Chapter NR 543, Wis. Adm. Code, establishes a priority system for development of markets for recyclable materials derived from post-consumer waste. The priority system was based on several factors that merited priority treatment by the DNR in its market development activities, based on economic considerations such as supply and demand for recycled materials, costs associated with recovering the materials, and proportion of the material in the overall waste stream. This rule also set forth requirements for changing the priority factors. Statutory authority for ch. NR 543, Wis. Adm. Code, was repealed by 2003 Wis. Act 33. 6. Agency Contact Person:
