Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024

(a) How will I know if the delivery time promised by a newsprint manufacturer or supplier for recycled-content newsprint is reasonable?

(1) A reasonable delivery time for recycled-content newsprint for a commercial publisher shall be forty-five (45) calendar days.

(2) A reasonable delivery time for recycled-content newsprint for a commercial printer shall be calculated by adding the delivery times in days for all deliveries of newsprint of that grade received by the printer in the prior 30 days, dividing the result by the number of deliveries, and multiplying this result by 1.1. If the quoted delivery time is less than or equal to the final result of your calculation, the quoted delivery time is reasonable.

(b) What if I have not received a shipment of that grade of newsprint in the previous 30 days? If you have not received a shipment of that grade of newsprint within the last 30 days, add all the delivery times for the last 90 days for the calculation. If you have not received a shipment in the last 90 days, substitute delivery times of a comparable grade of newsprint and complete the calculation.

(c) What if I have never received a shipment of that grade of newsprint or any comparable grades? If you have never received a shipment of that grade or any grade comparable, the recycled-content newsprint shall be considered available within a reasonable period of time if the quoted delivery time does not prevent you from performing the job for which you need the newsprint.
