| (a) General provisions.
(1) A television manufacturer of covered television
equipment shall register with the agency, on authorized agency forms
or electronic submission in accordance with subsection (c) of this

the registration fee and payment requirements. The registration fee
each year is $2,500 to be paid on or before January 31 of each year,
starting January 31, 2013. A manufacturer's failure to properly or
timely register does not exempt the manufacturer from such fee and
payment requirements.
(3) A manufacturer may designate a legally authorized
representative to complete and submit the required registration information.
However, the manufacturer remains responsible for compliance with
the provisions of this section by such representative.
(4) The registration or registration renewal must include:
(A) a list of all brands the television manufacturer
sells or offers for sale in this state regardless of whether the television
manufacturer owns or is licensed to use the brand; and
(B) contact information for the person the commission
may contact regarding the television manufacturer's activities to
comply with this subchapter.
(b) Changes or additional information.

the executive director of the following:

authorized representative, mailing address, or telephone number);
and
(B) change in list of all brands the television manufacturer
sells or offers for sale in this state regardless of whether the television
manufacturer owns or is licensed to use the brand.
(2) Notice of any change or additional information
must be submitted on the appropriate agency form that has been completed
in accordance with this section.
(3) Notice of any change or additional information
must be submitted to the executive director within 30 days from the
date of the occurrence of the change or addition.
(c) Required Form for Providing Manufacturer's Registration
Information.
(1) Manufacturers shall provide the required information
on the current agency registration form or approved electronic submission.
(2) The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that
the registration form is fully complete and accurate. The form must
be dated and signed by the manufacturer or a legally authorized representative
of the manufacturer, and must be submitted to the agency in accordance
with the time frames established in this chapter.
(3) When any of the required manufacturer's registration
information submitted to the executive director is determined to be
incomplete or inaccurate (including illegible or unclear information),
the executive director may require the manufacturer to submit additional
information. A manufacturer shall submit any such required additional
information within 30 days of receipt of such request.
(d) Except as provided by §328.175 of this title,
not later than January 31 of each year, each registered television
manufacturer of covered television equipment shall report to the commission:
(1) the total weight of covered television equipment
for which the television manufacturer is responsible that was sold
in this state during the preceding calendar year or, if the manufacturer
does not track the weight of covered television equipment it sells
by state, the television manufacturer may report the total weight
of covered television equipment the television manufacturer sold nationally
in the preceding calendar year;
(2) the total weight of covered television equipment
the television manufacturer collected, recycled, and reused in this
state during the preceding calendar year; and
(3) documentation that the collection, reuse, and recycling
