Subject: Proposed Rules to Align Diesel Grant Program with Federal Guidelines

Dear Senator Dembrow,

Dear Senator Beyer,

Dear Representative Bailey,

The Department of Environmental Quality is proposing a permanent rule to implement the provisions of SB 249, unanimously approved in the 2013 legislative session. SB 249 authorizes DEQ to administer federal clean diesel projects in accordance with federal grant guidelines rather than narrower state guidelines originally established when the clean diesel program was launched. A public hearing is scheduled for January 15, 2014 with the public comment period to close on January 21, 2014 at 5 PM. The rule making is scheduled for consideration at the March 2014 meeting of the Environmental Quality Commission.

The proposal is online at http://www.oregon.gov/deq/RulesandRegulations/Pages/2013/DESLGRNTP.aspx. For more information about the rule, contact Kevin Downing, 503.229.6549, downing.kevin@deq.state.or.us.
