There are many steps in the rulemaking process, which can take up to 6 to 12 months to complete. There could be unknown hold ups (i.e., short of staff with rulemaking experience) that delay the rulemaking process. The proposed fee increase must be considered by the Environmental Quality Commission meeting in June 2016 and December 2016.

   Federal law requires DEQ to perform requisite program services to retain delegation of the Title V program. Federal law also requires DEQ to fund the permit program entirely by permit fees. DEQ could decline to administer the program, shifting the program from DEQ to EPA; however, DEQ has chosen not to pursue this alternative to maintain regulatory consistency for the regulated public and citizens of Oregon.

   DEQ has increased Title V fees regularly since the Title V program began in the early 1990s. Fee payers generally do not oppose this annual fee increase equal to the rate of inflation. The federal law (Clean Air Act) and state law  (Oregon statute) authorize DEQ to increase fees by the annual change in the consumer price index to meet funding requirements by considering inflation.

   Title V CPI 2016

   Federal law requires DEQ to perform requisite program services to retain delegation of the Title V program. Federal law also requires DEQ to fund the permit program entirely by permit fees. DEQ could decline to administer the program, shifting the program from DEQ to EPA; however, DEQ has chosen not to pursue this alternative to maintain regulatory consistency for the regulated public and citizens of Oregon.

   Division 220 - OAR 340-220-0030 Annual Base Fee, 340-220-0040 Emission Fee, and 340-220-0050 Specific Activity Fees. The emission fee will be applied to emissions based on the elections made according to OAR 340-220-0090. 

   The proposed rule changes would increase Title V permit fees by the 2015 and 2016 Consumer Price Index increases to pay for increased program costs. Two years of CPI increases will be included in a single rulemaking as a cost-saving measure and administrative efficiency.

   The current fees will not sustain the program into the future.  Failure to increase Title V fees could affect DEQ's ability to maintain adequate program staff and jeopardize effective program administration.  The proposed fees would address increased program costs.

The proposed increase in Title V permitting program fees by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index is authorized by federal and state law. The proposed fee increases are necessary for DEQ to provide essential services associated with Oregon's Title V permitting program and cover DEQ's costs to operate the Title V program. The federal Clean Air Act requires each state to fully pay for it's Title V program through permit fees. DEQ provides rule and policy development along with reporting to EPA.
