Hi Richard. You wouldn’t be exempt from recordkeeping or reporting…just limited to things that you probably keep track of already – transaction date, ID number, transaction type, volume, name and FEIN of the recipient and transferor, documentation if exempt or exported. The main change proposed for importers of blendstock, is to keep these records in addition to - fuel pathway code, approved carbon intensity, biofuel producer info, and physical pathway code. Same goes for the reporting.

Hi Cory. Can I understand that under the proposed changes to Rule 340-253-0100 (2)(b), that if Mieco Inc. only imports finished gasoline into Oregon, we would be exempt from record keeping and reporting requirements? In that case, it would seem that we would only be required to register?
Thank you,
Richard

Dear Registered Party,
Thank you all for your participation as DEQ completes the registration process and continues to develop the recordkeeping and reporting tools for the Oregon Clean Fuels program. Working with you has helped me identify what works and what doesn’t and what needs improvement. Based on information gathered so far, DEQ is proposing some modifications that include:
· Clarify definitions
· Make the rules consistent with the recordkeeping and reporting tools
· Update the look-up tables
· Focus the administrative requirements to the most critical parts of the program
The current plan is for the modifications to be proposed at the Environmental Quality Commission’s meeting in December 2013 through a temporary rulemaking, so that they can be in place prior to the first annual report due date of April 30, 2014. A permanent rulemaking would follow at the June 2014 meeting. The objective of the rulemaking is to eliminate unnecessary requirements and reduce the burden on smaller businesses participating in the program.
Attached to this e-mail are a factsheet that provides the context and process for the proposed changes and the redline-strikethrough version of the draft rules. Please contact me at OregonCleanFuels@deq.state.or.us or 503-229-5388 if you have any questions. If you have any feedback, please do so by 5:00 pm Friday, October 11, 2013.
