Yes and no. The process I am going through now is a temporary rulemaking with a shortened timeframe so I can get rules adopted by the end of the year. This is so they can be in effect as you prepare to submit the first report due at the end of April 2014. However, the temporary rule has to be adopted permanently and that process includes a formal public comment period with an anticipated adoption date of June 2014, so you’ll get another crack at it. Let me know if you have any additional questions and thanks for taking a look at the rules for me.

Subject: Proposed changes to the Oregon Clean Fuels Program
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.
