2    Sec. 1-33. Manufacturer clearinghouse.
3    (a) A manufacturer e-waste program plan submitted by a
4manufacturer clearinghouse may take into account and
5incorporate individual plans or operations of one or more
6manufacturers that are participating in the manufacturer
7clearinghouse.
8    (b) If a manufacturer clearinghouse allocates
9responsibility to manufacturers for manufacturers'
10transportation and recycling of residential CEDs during a
11program year as part of a manufacturer e-waste program plan,
12then the manufacturer clearinghouse shall identify the
13allocation methodology in its plan submission to the Agency
14pursuant to Section 1-25 of this Act for review and approval.
15Any allocation of responsibility among manufacturers for the
16collection of covered electronic devices shall be in accordance
17with the allocation methodology established pursuant to
18Section 1-84.5 of this Act.
19    (c) A manufacturer clearinghouse shall have no authority to
20enforce manufacturer compliance with the requirements of this
21Act, including compliance with the allocation methodology set
22forth in a manufacturer e-waste program plan, but shall, upon
23prior notice to the manufacturer, refer any potential
24non-compliance to the Agency. A manufacturer clearinghouse may
25develop and implement policies and procedures that exclude from
26participation in the manufacturer clearinghouse any

22    years before the applicable program year, under paragraph
23    (2) of subsection (a) of Section 1-30 of this Act,

1    "Participating manufacturer" means a manufacturer that a
2manufacturer clearinghouse has listed, pursuant to subsection
3(c) of this Section, as a participant in the manufacturer
4clearinghouse for a program year.
5    "Population adjustment factor" means the percentage that
6results when (i) the population of Illinois, as reported in the
7most recent federal decennial census, is divided by (ii) the
8population of the United States, as reported in the most recent
9federal decennial census.
10    "Return share" means the percentage, by weight, of each CED
11category that is returned to the program collection sites and

22    "Unadjusted total proportional responsibility" means the
23percentage calculated for each participating manufacturer
24under subsection (e) of this Section.

HB3248 Enrolled- 23 -LRB100 10326 MJP 20515 b

1each CED category for program year 2019, and by March 1, 2019,

4year 2020.
5    (c) If a manufacturer clearinghouse submits to the Agency a

15    (e) For each program year, the Agency shall calculate the
16unadjusted total proportional responsibility of each
17participating manufacturer as follows:
18        (1) For each CED category, the Agency shall multiply
19    (i) the participating manufacturer's market share for the
20    CED category by (ii) the return share for the CED category,
21    to arrive at the category-specific proportional
22    responsibility of the participating manufacturer for the
23    CED category.
24        (2) The Agency shall then, for each participating
25    manufacturer, sum the category-specific proportional
26    responsibilities of the participating manufacturer

 

 

HB3248 Enrolled- 24 -LRB100 10326 MJP 20515 b

1    calculated under paragraph (1), to arrive at the
2    participating manufacturer's unadjusted total proportional
3    responsibility.
4    (f) If the sum of all unadjusted total proportional
5responsibilities of a manufacturer clearinghouse's
6participating manufacturers for a program year accounts for
7less than 100% of the return share for that year, then the
8Agency shall divide the unallocated return share among
9participating manufacturers in proportion to their unadjusted
10total proportional responsibilities, to arrive at the adjusted
11total proportional responsibility for each participating
12manufacturer.
13    (g) A manufacturer may use retail collection sites to
14satisfy some or all of the manufacturer's responsibilities,
15including, but not limited to, the manufacturer's
16transportation and recycling of collected residential CEDs
17pursuant to any allocation methodology established under this
18Act. Nothing in this Act shall prevent a manufacturer from
19using retail collection sites to satisfy any percentage of the
20manufacturer's total responsibilities, including, but not
21limited to, the manufacturer's transportation and recycling of
22collected residential CEDs pursuant to any allocation
23methodology established under this Act or by administrative
24rule.
