Washington Administrative Code › Title 365 - Commerce, Department of (Community Development) › Chapter 365-135 - Bond cap allocation › Section 365-135-040 - Procedure for obtaining an allocation, reallocation, extension, or carryforward

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
No issuer may receive an allocation, or reallocation, of the
						state ceiling without a certificate of approval from the department.
Issuers may apply for a certificate of approval by submitting a
						completed allocation request form to the department and paying an allocation
						fee. An allocation request form will be available from the department.
The department will respond to any such completed request in
						accordance with the statute. If an issuer does not issue bonds or mortgage
						credit certificates in the amount and by the date for which it has received a
						certificate of approval, the unused amount shall revert to the department for
						reallocation, unless an extension or carryforward is granted.
An issuer may apply for an extension or carryforward of its
						allocation by submitting its request to the department and supplying any
						additional information required by the department. The department will promptly
						notify the issuer if any fees are due and respond to the request for extension
						or carryforward in a timely manner.
The housing category will be given priority for carryforward
						allocations of the annual tax exempt private activity bond
						ceiling.

Washington Administrative Code › Title 365 - Commerce, Department of (Community Development) › Chapter 365-135 - Bond cap allocation › Section 365-135-050 - Fees

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) A fee schedule
					is hereby established, which will consist of:
(a) An allocation or reallocation fee, due at
					the time a request is filed with the department of commerce; and

					carryforward fee.
If an issuer's allocation or reallocation request is denied,
						the allocation fee, less the five hundred dollar filing fee, will be

						following fiscal year.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 365 - Commerce, Department of (Community Development) › Chapter 365-135 - Bond cap allocation › Section 365-135-060 - Criteria for small issue (industrial revenue) bonds

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
In addition to the statute, the following guidelines will be
						used as criteria for evaluating small issue requests:
(1) Until June 1 of each year, a minimum
					percentage of the ceiling available for small issues will be set aside for
					issuers in those locations which BCAP designates by certain geographic and
					distress indicators, as follows:
Designation
Allocation set-aside
East/distressed
15% or greater
West/distressed
15% or greater
East/nondistressed
10% or greater
(2) In
					evaluating the number of jobs created or retained a project would offer in
					relationship to the dollars which would be allocated from the ceiling, priority
					will be given to those projects, relative to their appropriate designation,
					which do not exceed the following ratios for dollars allocated per job:
Designation
$ (in thousands)
per job offered
East/distressed
$192.2/job
East/nondistressed
121.6/job
West/distressed
146.2/job
West/nondistressed
106.6/job
Statewide
116.8/job
(3)
					The program will consider the number and type of jobs that will be created or
					retained. Projects that create new jobs will, in general, have priority over
					others. Projects that involve relocation from one part of Washington to another
					will, in general, have a lower priority than those that create net new jobs,
					unless the relocation was caused through displacement for other job creating or
					economic development activity.
(4)
					Projects that involve the creation of semiskilled and skilled jobs as well as
					unskilled jobs, or that will provide special training and promotion
					opportunities to employees, will have priority over those that do not. Projects
					that will be located in enterprise communities, neighborhood empowerment zones,
					or distressed areas will be accorded priority over other projects.
(5) Priority will be given to projects that
					result in publicly owned facilities over privately owned facilities.
(6) If the department finds that a particular
					project does not meet the guidelines in this section, but is nonetheless in the
					best interest of the state, the department may approve the request. Factors
					that may lead to such a finding include the following:
(a) The level of unemployment in a particular
					community within a county, to the extent that figures are available from the
					Washington state employment security department; and
(b) The number of secondary or spin-off jobs
					expected to be generated by the project.

			 figures are available from the Washington state employment security
			 department.

			 direct jobs and secondary or spin-off jobs expected to be generated by the
			 project.
(d) The degree to which
			 the project proposes to provide jobs for lower-income persons from the
			 community.
(e) The number of jobs
			 created in proportion to the amount of the bond cap allocation.
(f) The proportionate number of persons in
			 relationship to the size of the community who will benefit from the
			 project.
(g) The degree to which
			 the project provides an economic boost to an economically distressed community
			 (based on the three-year unemployment figures from employment
			 security).
(h) The degree to which
			 the project retains or expands the local tax base.
(i) The degree to which the project reduces
			 environmental pollution.
(j) The
			 degree to which the project diverts solid waste from disposal and manufactures
			 it into value-added products.
(k)
			 The degree to which the project produces energy at a lower cost than
			 alternative or existing energy sources.
(l) The environmental benefit of the project
			 to the particular community, the county or the state.
(m) The availability of bond cap from the
			 exempt facility category.
(n)
			 Recognize and accommodate the unique timing, and issuance needs of large scale
			 projects that may require allocations in more than one year.
(o) Projects that result in publicly owned
			 facilities over privately owned facilities.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The legislature determines the amount of funding available
						during a specific biennium for low-income weatherization. Each county receives
						a "planning estimate" based on the number of low-income households and the
						climatic conditions of the county. This "planning estimate" is available for
						low-income weatherization in each county if matching requirements are met.
						Contingent on the availability of funds, the department may award funds in an
						amount that exceeds the county's "planning estimate."
