We must file the notice for a rulemaking with Secretary of State no later than the 15^th of the month to have the required notice published in the Oregon Bulletin on the 1^st of the next month.

The schedule for this rulemaking calls for filing the notice on the 15^th of MONTH.

The steps required to file the notice on time are:

•  DATE (Filing-6 weeks) RULE WRITER NAME Completes draft rules in redline/strikeout

•  DATE (filing-6 weeks) RULE WRITER NAME Completes Rulemaking Notice in redline/strikeout

•  DATE (filing-5 weeks) PROGRAM MANAGER NAME completes review

•  DATE (filing-4 weeks) RULE WRITER NAME finalizes draft rules by:

◦  addressing and deleting all comments

◦  rejecting all proposed edits that will not be kept in final draft rules

◦  leaving untouched in redline/strikeout all proposed edits that will be kept in the final rules

◦  IMPORTANT NOTE: In rejecting and accepting text to create a final version of the rules, you will still have redline/strikeout and blue underline text to indicate deletions and insertions. HOWEVER: you have to note the difference between text from the original rules that you are deleting versus newly inserted text that you are now deleting or don’t intend to keep. You must fully delete newly inserted text that you don’t intend to keep so that it does not appear in any form in the final rules. Newly inserted text that you are deleting should not be red or strike through, it should be gone. Red text/strikethrough is only for text from the original rule that you are deleting. The final version of the rules does not show all proposed edits that were considered. It only shows insertions and deletions that are being kept for the final version of the rules. To accomplish this, turn off track changes, delete newly inserted text you are not going to keep, then turn track changes back on

◦  Review final appearance of rules by changing review status to display “no markup”; after review complete, change display status back to “all markup”

•  DATE (filing-4 weeks) RULE WRITER NAME finalizes Rulemaking Notice by:
