(3) The producer responsibility organization shall not be required to respond to offers pursuant to this subdivision until its producer responsibility plan has been approved by the department.

(c) The producer responsibility organization may suspend or terminate use of an approved collection site that does not comply with all applicable state, federal, or municipal laws and regulations or adhere to the rules and conditions imposed by the producer responsibility organization pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 42968.32.

(d) A participant of the producer responsibility organization with an approved producer responsibility plan shall comply with the requirements of this chapter. The producer responsibility organization shall notify the department within 30 calendar days of any the following:
