                 BACKGROUND      

1 On April 25, 2001, the Commission received a petition from Ada-Lin Waste 
Systems, Inc.,  (Ada-Lin) requesting the Commission grant an exemption to the 
provisions of 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 Ada-Lin 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 not inconsistent with 
public interest, and direct the Secretary to  issue the Order.

                                                           O R D E R

4 THE COMMISSION ORDERS:

5 Ada-Lin Waste Systems, Inc., is granted an exemption to the provisions of 
WAC   480-70-071(1)(b) and is granted an extension until May 31, 2001, to file 
the company's 2000  annual report of financial and operational activity.

  DATED and signed at Olympia, Washington this 9th day of  May, 2001.
