These certification requirements apply to printers and publishers, located in California, who use newsprint in their operations. Printing or publishing operations located outside of California are not required to comply with these regulations.

(1) If you own or operate a commercial printing establishment located in California, you must annually submit to the Board a completed form CIWMB 430 "Newsprint Consumer Certification" (11/00), which is incorporated herein by reference. (See Appendix A.) This form is due to the Board on March 1 of each year.
(2) If you own or operate a commercial publishing operation located in California, which also owns or operates a commercial printing operation, you must annually submit a completed Newsprint Consumer Certification, form CIWMB 430 (11/00), to the Board.

All of the information required by Section 17958(b) of this Article must be itemized for each establishment included in the certification.

If, at any time during a year, you supply recycled-content newsprint to commercial printers/publishers located in California, or to other suppliers who may in turn supply such establishments, you must comply with Section 17960 of this Article. Suppliers of newsprint are held accountable for certification according to Section 17960, regardless of their location.

If you are a person manufacturing recycled-content newsprint for use in California, you must submit a letter to the Board certifying the metric tons of postconsumer wastepaper and/or deinked pulp received or produced at each of your mills producing recycled-content newsprint for use in California during each reporting period. You must also certify to the Board the metric tons of recycled-content newsprint, by grade, which were produced at each of your mills that were shipped for use in California during each reporting period. This letter of certification will be due on March 1 of every year for each reporting period (January 1 through December 31).
