This seems perfectly reasonable. Hard to believe the cost of
an inspection is as LOW as proposed; are you sure it shouldn’t
be higher to cover the full cost of the DEQ vehicle inspection
operations? |

I oppose all proposed fee increases or or any future enhancements
to vehicle inspections |

I am wonding with the implementation of DEQTOO why would they
need the same staffing levels? I recommend waiting 12 months
and analyze the DEQTOO data before making any decisions. There
is no common sense reason the raise rates to keep 8 people employed
with no work to do. The DEQTOO has just rolled out to the general
public, it will actually take 2 years before everyone has received
a renewal to even know that shops like mine do the work DEQ staff
was doing, and I am doing it for free to our customers. |

I agree with the previous comment wondering why you need a fee
increase when DEQTOO costs you less work - not more. Among the
several laws you list in your public notice package, one requires
you to set fee amounts based upon your costs. So just like you
currently charge an extra $5 for costing you more staff time
to test at a dealership – you should be charging at least $5
less for a DEQTOO test since that costs you much less staff time.
This logic seems consistent with how you’re getting rid of
Medford’s 50% discount now that their test procedure no longer
costs less than Portland’s once did. It’s also consistent
with your $15 discount for businesses that self test their fleet
of vehicles. So if you are going to adjust any of your certificate
fees on July 1, then DEQTOO tests should get a discount between
$5 and $15. There’s no reason to wait additional time to analyze
data since there are already over 140 businesses involved - some
for over 24 months. |

The only proposed program update is a fee increase for no additional
protection of air quality. The idea that DEQ is owed a fee increase
because there has been none since 1997 is a deception that will
encourage long time residents to flee the state (consider the
recent vehicle inspection rule changes in WA state). In 1997
the inspection fee was quadrupled on the grounds of enhanced
dynamometer testing facilties, which were discontinued 10 years
later with no compensatory fee reduction. Instead of a fee increase,
the scope of testing of vehicles should be narrowed to exclude
more of the recent model years unlikely to be polluting, and
very old model years (>20) that are unlikely to be driven much.
Instead, DEQ should consider increasing enforcement of diesel
particulate emissions from old commercial vehicles, such as old
FedEx and UPS vehicles, where a single vehicle can emit 50 to
100 times the amount of particulate pollution over a modern vehicle.
The focus of the DEQ VIP on carbon monoxide from light vehicles
is outdated. |
