Overview

•  Goal of Meeting:

◦  to get input on whether a proposed rule will have a fiscal impact and if so, what that impact will be, and answer the questions of Oregon Revised Statute 183

◦  ORS 183 - Policy statement for public involvement in development of policy and drafting of rules and advisory committees.

◦  do not expect consensus

•  DEQ does not have an economist so this analysis is completed by scientists and engineers.

•  Status of Proposed Permitting Program Update Rules

◦  Public notice on March 1 or April 1, rule adoption in October or December

Questions required by ORS 183:

•  Will the rules have a fiscal impact?

•  If so, what is the extent of the fiscal impact?

•  Will the rules have a significant adverse impact on small businesses?

•  If so, how can DEQ reduce the economic impact of the rule on small business to the extent consistent with the public health and safety purpose of the rule?

◦  Establishing differing compliance or reporting requirements or time tables for small business

◦  Clarifying, consolidating or simplifying the compliance and reporting requirements under the rule for small business

◦  Utilizing objective criteria for standards

◦  Exempting small businesses from any or all requirements of the rule

•  In addition to the fiscal impacts addressed by ORS 183, are there “secondary” fiscal impacts that DEQ should consider?
