Syllabus

BWC did not abuse its discretion in reclassifying OKI as a public employer for purposes of workers' compensation premium rates because OKI did not qualify as a private employer/public service corporation under R.C. 4123.01(B)(1)(b) as it did not provide services directly to the public. BWC did not act arbitrarily or unreasonably in adopting manual code 9443 as a means to adequately reflect the risk associated with the operation of special public authorities, such as OKI, that have many characteristics of public employers/taxing districts but do not have taxing authority. Objections sustained writ denied.
