Division:?Field Services and Public Safety (Factory Assembled Structures Program)

Topic:?Emergency (CR-103E) ? Factory Assembled Structures (FAS) Licensed Professional Plan Reviews

Brief Description:?This emergency rule allows the Factory Assembled Structure (FAS) Program to effectively approve plans for commercial coach trailers, factory-built housing and commercial structures, recreational park trailers, recreational vehicles, and conversion vendor units (food trucks and trailers) as required under RCWs 43.22.360 and 43.22.480. The rule language includes changes to chapters 296-150C and 296-150F WAC that clarify plan submission requirements. The rule adds provisions to chapters 296-150P, 296-150R, and 296-150V WAC to allow plans for recreational park trailers, recreational vehicles, and conversion vendor units to be reviewed and approved by a licensed professional engineer, architect or firm as authorized by RCW 43.22.360(3).

This rulemaking renews the emergency rule filed on August 16, 2022 (WSR 22-17-070), and allows the FAS Program to address the backlog of 500 design plans that still exists, while permanent rules are being developed.
