§ 17952. Purpose and Definitions.
(a) What is the purpose of these regulations? These regulations explain what recycled-content newsprint requirements consumers and suppliers of newsprint must meet, and what procedures consumers and suppliers of newsprint must follow to report and certify recycled-content newsprint use. These regulations only pertain to newsprint use within the state of California.
(2) A commercial printing and publishing operation is a business located in California, which uses newsprint in its printing or publishing operation. A commercial printer is further defined as a person whose business is classified in the Standard Industrial Classifications Code (SIC), Sections 2752, 2754, or 2759, which are incorporated herein by reference. A commercial publisher is further defined as a person whose business is classified in the Standard Industrial Classifications Code (SIC), Sections 2711, 2721, 2731, or 2741, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Public Resources Code 40170 defines “person” as individual, firm, association, copartnership, political subdivision, government agency, municipality, industry, public or private corporation, or any other entity whatsoever.
(5) Grade is a class or level of quality of paper or pulp which is ranked, or distinguished from other papers or pulps, on the basis of its use, appearance, quality, manufacturing history, raw materials, or a combination of these factors. Some grades have been officially identified and described and thus are ranked. Others are commonly recognized but lack official definition.
(7) Machine Finish is any finish obtained on a paper machine. It may be that of a sheet of paper as it leaves the last drier or as it leaves the calendar stack. It may also be a dry or water finish. When used in conjunction with the name of a grade or type of paper, a machine finish has less than the maximum range of smoothness.
(11) Newsprint means uncoated paper, whether supercalendered or machine finished, of the type generally used for, but is not limited to, the publication of newspapers, commercial advertising inserts, directories, or commercial advertising mailers, which is made primarily from mechanical woodpulps combined with some chemical woodpulp. “Newsprint” includes paper made from old newspapers, which have been deinked, using the recycled pulp in lieu of virgin pulp. “Newsprint” includes all grades of paper sold as newsprint, supercalendered (SC) uncoated groundwood, or machine finished (MF) uncoated groundwood.
Grades of newsprint may include, but are not limited to:
(17) A shipment is defined as any quantity of newsprint, regardless of mode of transportation, which is accompanied by an invoice, bill of lading, shipment order, purchase order, or other evidence of shipment. A physical record for every shipment must be received by the company using the newsprint in its commercial printing or publishing operation.
