Three people attended the hearing, one commented in person, one person commented orally and no one commented in writing.

At 6:05 p.m. before taking comments, the presiding officer summarized procedures for the hearing including notification that DEQ was recording the hearing. The presiding officer asked those in attendance who wanted to present verbal comments to complete, sign and submit a registration form.

According to Oregon Administrative Rule 137-001-0030, Carrie Capp, DEQ Air Quality Planner, summarized the content of the notice given under Oregon Revised Statute 183.335. This summary took about twelve minutes and included staff responses to questions about the rulemaking.

The staff presenter added commenter information to the Comment workbook. Information includes commenter name, address, affiliation and hearing attended; and all written and oral comments. DEQ uses the workbook to help categorize, summarize and develop the agency response to comments.
