(3) Notwithstanding subparagraphs (1) and (2), a
manufacturer may satisfy the plan requirements of this
paragraph by agreeing to participate in a collective
recovery plan with other manufacturers. The collective
recovery plan must meet the same standards and
requirements of the plans submitted by individual
manufacturers.

 
(4) The plan developed by the manufacturer must
include, at a minimum:

 
(a) A description of the collection system,
including the methods of convenient collection;

 
(b) A public education element to inform the
public about the collection system, including
