(1) Input from the department of natural resources, the department of agriculture, the board's advisory committee, and affected portions of the private sector;
(2) Relevant deadlines, time frames, costs, and benefits, including federal funding consequences for the state's underground storage tank regulatory program if such a training program is not implemented;
(3) Training programs already in existence in other states;
(4) Training programs already being used by tank owners and operators; and
(5) Such other factors as the board deems necessary and prudent.

(1) Satisfy the federal requirements for such a program;
(2) Be developed in collaboration with the department of natural resources, the department of agriculture, the board's advisory committee, and affected portions of the private sector;
(3) Be offered at no cost to those who are required to participate;

3. The board may contract with one or more third parties to carry out the requirements of this section.

6. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028.
