(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2026)Sec. 1-84.5. Manufacturer clearinghouse; allocation of financial responsibility for the transportation and recycling of covered electronic devices.(a) As used in this Section, unless the context otherwise requires:"Adjusted total proportional responsibility" means the percentage calculated for each participating manufacturer for a program year under subsection (f) of this Section."Market share" means the percentage that results from dividing:(1) the product of the total weight reported for a     CED category by a manufacturer, for the calendar year 2 years before the applicable program year, under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 1-30 of this Act, multiplied by the population adjustment factor for that year; by(2) the product of the total weight reported for that     CED category by all manufacturers, for the calendar year 2 years before the applicable program year, under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of Section 1-30 of this Act, multiplied by the population adjustment factor for that year."Participating manufacturer" means a manufacturer that a manufacturer clearinghouse has listed, pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, as a participant in the manufacturer clearinghouse for a program year."Population adjustment factor" means the percentage that results when (i) the population of Illinois, as reported in the most recent federal decennial census, is divided by (ii) the population of the United States, as reported in the most recent federal decennial census."Return share" means the percentage, by weight, of each CED category that is returned to the program collection sites and one-day collection events operated by or on behalf of either a manufacturer clearinghouse or one or more of its participating manufacturers during the calendar year 2 years before the applicable program year, as reported to the Agency under Section 1-10 of this Act; except that, for program year 2019 and program year 2020, "return share" means the percentage, by weight, of each CED category that is estimated by the manufacturer clearinghouse to be returned to those sites and events during the applicable program year, as reported to the Agency under subsection (b) of this Section."Unadjusted total proportional responsibility" means the percentage calculated for each participating manufacturer under subsection (e) of this Section.(b) By March 1, 2018, each manufacturer clearinghouse shall provide the Agency with a statement of the return share for each CED category for program year 2019, and by March 1, 2019, each manufacturer clearinghouse shall provide the Agency with a statement of the return share for each CED category for program year 2020.(c) If a manufacturer clearinghouse submits to the Agency a manufacturer e-waste program plan under Section 1-25 of this Act, then the manufacturer clearinghouse shall include in the plan a list of manufacturers that have agreed to participate in the manufacturer clearinghouse for the upcoming program year.(d) By November 1, 2018, and each November 1 thereafter, the Agency shall provide each manufacturer clearinghouse with a statement of the unadjusted total proportional responsibility and adjusted total proportional responsibility of each of its participating manufacturers for the upcoming program year.(e) For each program year, the Agency shall calculate the unadjusted total proportional responsibility of each participating manufacturer as follows:(1) For each CED category, the Agency shall multiply     (i) the participating manufacturer's market share for the CED category by (ii) the return share for the CED category, to arrive at the category-specific proportional responsibility of the participating manufacturer for the CED category.(2) The Agency shall then, for each participating     manufacturer, sum the category-specific proportional responsibilities of the participating manufacturer calculated under paragraph (1), to arrive at the participating manufacturer's unadjusted total proportional responsibility.(f) If the sum of all unadjusted total proportional responsibilities of a manufacturer clearinghouse's participating manufacturers for a program year accounts for less than 100% of the return share for that year, then the Agency shall divide the unallocated return share among participating manufacturers in proportion to their unadjusted total proportional responsibilities, to arrive at the adjusted total proportional responsibility for each participating manufacturer.(g) A manufacturer may use retail collection sites to satisfy some or all of the manufacturer's responsibilities, including, but not limited to, the manufacturer's transportation and recycling of collected residential CEDs pursuant to any allocation methodology established under this Act. Nothing in this Act shall prevent a manufacturer from using retail collection sites to satisfy any percentage of the manufacturer's total responsibilities, including, but not limited to,  the manufacturer's transportation and recycling of collected residential CEDs pursuant to any allocation methodology established under this Act or by administrative rule.
