RULE SUMMARY
The proposed rulemaking would:
• Adopt and amend Pollution Control Tax Credits rules to transfer certificate administration activities to DEQ;
• Repeal the Pollution Prevention Tax Credit pilot program rules. The statute authorized EQC to issue program certificates through December 31, 1999.
• Amend the Truck Engine Tax Credit to align the last date of certificate issuance to December 31, 2013 with 2009 amendments to chapter 618, Oregon Laws 2003 in a legislative note following ORS 315.356.
