Comment Period  |  CA, CAA  |  September 21, 2026

Circular Action Alliance is taking comment from August 26 to October 24, 2026 on its draft California Funding and Services Agreement, the contract terms it will pay recycling and reuse service providers under.

What this means for you: producers have nothing to file, but these payments are the largest input to future California fees, and this is the only public window on the terms. If you provide recycling or reuse services in California, comment by October 24. Source: Circular Action Alliance, California (read September 20, 2026).

(Corrected October 8, 2026: the ranking of these payments as the largest input to future California fees is withdrawn, because no source establishes it. The draft agreement and its Project Schedules set the terms on which CAA will pay California recycling and reuse service providers.)

Where this sits

This entry is part of the EPR Atlas weekly update log. Every week the Atlas checks the seven enacted states, the pending and early-stage states, the federal bills, active litigation, and agency rulemaking, then publishes what actually changed. See the full update archive or the live hub.
