(b)If a willing purchaser offers to pay a voluntary artificial scrap value, the department shall, on a monthly basis, determine whether the sum of the voluntary artificial scrap value and payments made from the PET Processing Fee Account pursuant to subdivision

(1)Immediately provide written notification of the deviation for that monthly period and the amount of that deviation to any willing purchaser.
