BACKGROUND      

1 On April 5, 2001, the Commission received a petition from Bainbridge 
Disposal, G-143, requesting  the Commission grant an exemption to the 
provisions WAC 480-70-071(1)(b) that require solid  waste collection companies 
to file an annual report of financial and operational activity by May 1.  The  
petition requests Bainbridge Disposal be granted an extension until May 31, 
2001, to file the   company's 2000 annual report.  The petition was accompanied 
by a check remitting to the   Commission estimated 2001 regulatory fees.
 
2 WAC 480-70-071(1)(c) provides that  the Commission may grant an extension of 
time allowing the  company to file its annual report after the May due date if 
the Commission receives a request for  extension by May 1.

FINDINGS

3 The Commissioners have reviewed the petition and have been fully advised in 
the matter.  They  believe granting the petition is in the public interest, and 
direct the Secretary to issue the Order.
