BACKGROUND

RCW 81.80.321 requires that every common carrier operating in this state under 
jurisdiction of this Commission pay a regulatory fee of no more than .0025 of 
its gross income from intrastate operations for the previous calendar year.

The percentage rate to be paid in any year may be decreased by the Commission 
by general order.  In decreasing such rate the Commission is required to take 
into consideration the monies then in the motor carrier account of the public 
service revolving fund and the fees currently to be paid, to the end that the 
fees collected shall be approximately the same as the reasonable cost of 
regulating common and contract carriers.

The 2001 regulatory fee is now before the Commission for consideration and the 
Commission, being fully advised, has considered all monies on hand and the fees 
currently to be paid and directed the Secretary to enter the following order 
and related provisions.

O R D E R

IT IS ORDERED That the fee to be paid to the Commission under the provisions of 
RCW 81.80.321 is fixed at .0025 of the Washington intrastate gross operating 
income for household goods carriers and at zero for other motor carriers, based 
on the 2000 calendar year operations.

DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 24th day of January, 2001.
