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

Summary

DEQ proposes the Environmental Quality Commission approve proposed rules to adopt California’s vehicle emission standards. Oregon is one of the Section 177 states that has opted in to California’s vehicle emission standards. The Clean Air Act requires that opt-in states keep their rule requirements identical to California’s vehicle emission program. This rulemaking amends Oregon’s rules to reflect the latest changes in California’s program.

Stakeholder Involvement

DEQ has convened a fiscal advisory committee to consider the fiscal and economic impact of the proposed rules including: 

•  Whether the rules will have a fiscal impact, and if so, what the extent of that impact will be.

•  Whether the rules will have a significant adverse impact on small businesses, and if so, how DEQ can reduce the rules’ negative fiscal impact on small businesses.

The committee meeting will take place:

Aug. 14, 2018, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
700 NE Multnomah St, Suite 600
Conference Room 601
Portland, Oregon 97232

Conference number info:  
Phone number: 877-402-9753
Code: 3360031

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.
