Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for agreeing to participate on the Clean Fuels Program Corrections Rulemaking Advisory Committee. The commitment of your time and expertise to evaluate the issues affecting this proposed rulemaking is greatly appreciated.

DEQ proposes to amend Oregon Clean Fuels Program rules under division 253 of chapter 340 of the Oregon Administrative Rules. The proposed rule changes would correct a miscalculation of how the clean fuel standards and the carbon intensity values of two fuel pathways were calculated in the rules adopted by the EQC on Dec. 9, 2015. The EQC adopted temporary rules on April 21, 2016 and this rulemaking will make them permanent.

This committee is being convened solely to assess the fiscal and economic impact of the Clean Fuels Program Corrections Rulemaking. The advisory committee charter, a full roster of the committee, meeting agendas and background materials will all be located on a webpage that can be found at: http://www.oregon.gov/deq/RulesandRegulations/Pages/Advisory/A2CFPPh2.aspx.

If you have questions or comments, please contact Cory-Ann Wind, Clean Fuels Program manager, at wind.cory@deq.state.or.us or (503) 229-5388.

Sincerely,

Pete Shepherd
Interim Director
