The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is proposing amendments to its administrative rules at OAR 340.

Summary

DEQ proposes the Environmental Quality Commission approve new proposed rules to 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 EQC on Dec. 9, 2015.

The EQC adopted temporary rules on April 21, 2016 and this proposed rulemaking will make those rule changes permanent.

Stakeholder Involvement

DEQ has appointed a fiscal advisory committee to assess the fiscal and economic impact related to the proposed rules. The next committee meeting will take place:

•  9 a.m., June 1, 2016

•  DEQ Headquarters, 10^th Floor, Room EQC-A, 811 SW Sixth Avenue, Portland, OR 97204

The public may attend, but is not entitled to participate in, advisory committee meetings. Later in this rulemaking proceeding DEQ will invite public comments on and will hold a public hearing about the proposed rules. At that time any member of the public may submit comments and participate in the public hearing.
