NOTICES OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING AND
PROPOSED RULEMAKING HEARINGS
The following agencies provide Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to offer interested parties reasonable opportunity to submit data or views on proposed rulemaking activity. To expedite the rulemaking process, many agencies have set the time and place for a hearing in the notice. Copies of rulemaking materials may be obtained from the Rules Coordinator at the address and telephone number indicated.
Public comment may be submitted in writing directly to an agency or presented orally or in writing at the rulemaking hearing. Written comment must be submitted to an agency by 5:00 p.m. on the Last Day for Comment listed, unless a different time of day is specified. Written and oral comments may be submitted at the appropriate time during a rulemaking hearing as outlined in OAR 137-001-0030.
Agencies providing notice request public comment on whether other options should be considered for achieving a proposed administrative rule's substantive goals while reducing negative economic impact of the rule on business.
In Notices of Proposed Rulemaking where no hearing has been set, a hearing may be requested by 10 or more people or by an association with 10 or more members. Agencies must receive requests for a public rulemaking hearing in writing within 21 days following notice publication in the Oregon Bulletin or 28 days from the date notice was sent to people on the agency mailing list, whichever is later. If sufficient hearing requests are received by an agency, notice of the date and time of the rulemaking hearing must be published in the Oregon Bulletin at least 14 days before the hearing.

Proposed Amendments: 809-010-0001
Last Date for Comment: 6-16-11
Summary: Amended proposed rule OAR 809-010-0001: Fees updates the
fee charged by the Board for the Practice Section of the national examination
for geologist certification, reflecting a fee increase made by the national
Association of State Boards of Geology (ASBOG). ASBOG provides standardized
written examinations for determining qualifications of applicants seeking
licensure as professional geologists. This proposed rule also proposes
reinstatement of two fees that were removed inadvertently during a past
rulemaking. The two fees are designed to cover administrative costs associated
with maintenance of examination files for passing examinees who do not register
in Oregon and for providing a detailed list of registrants above and beyond the
version routinely available via the Board’s website. The Board presents the fee
rule updates for review by its registrants and other interested parties.
Individuals may view a copy of the fee rule on the Board’s web page or may
request a copy by contacting the Board’s administrative office.

Summary: The existing rule allows an electrical apprentice from another
state that is party to the state apprenticeship reciprocal agreement to receive
a temporary apprentice license to work in Oregon for a period not to exceed 180
days. The rule allows an apprentice to work on a single project up to 180 days.
This license cannot be renewed.
This
rule would abolish OAR 918-282-0280, Temporary Apprentice Licenses, which
imposes the 180-day time limit, single project, and non-renewal restrictions.
The rule would add provisions for reciprocal apprentices in OAR 918-282-0270,
Apprentices, and clarify that a reciprocal apprentice may work under indirect
supervision if they meet the requirements for an indirect supervision card.
This rule is in effect currently as a temporary rule, which this rulemaking
proposes to make permanent.

Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 as the Oregon Commercial Reach Code (OCRC).

Summary: The proposed rule changes relate to OAR Chapter 918,
Division 100, which contains the Department of Consumer and Business Services,
Building Codes Division’s rules relating to optional mechanical minor
installation label programs. Under these programs, a local building department
may, but is not required to, allow certain minor mechanical construction work
to be performed under a minor installation label. Under the current rule,
mechanical minor installation labels may only be used in commercial and
industrial buildings. The proposed rule changes would permit mechanical minor
installation labels to be used in residential occupancies. The proposed changes
would also expand the scope of work allowed under mechanical minor installation
labels to include the addition of air conditioning units to pre-existing
ductwork. Finally, the proposed changes would clarify that only contractors
licensed by the construction contractors board may purchase and use mechanical
minor installation labels for residential occupancies.

Summary: This rulemaking is to establish a Children’s Reinsurance Program
to promote health insurance coverage of children under the age of 19 in Oregon.
This program would spread the risk of enrolling high-risk children in the
commercial individual market on a guaranteed issue basis with no pre-existing
condition exclusion period as now required under federal law. The rules
establish the requirements and procedures for a carrier to cede coverage for a
child under the age of 19 to the Children’s Reinsurance Program.

Summary: In response to the Department of Human Services (DHS), Seniors
and People with Disabilities Division’s (SPD) transformation efforts and the
need to generally streamline operations in order to meet and address current
and future budget needs, SPD is proposing to adopt provider enrollment, service
billing, and service payment rules for Community Services Programs in OAR
chapter 411, division 370.
The
proposed rules change the current contracting practices so that it is no longer
necessary for local service providers to have service contracts with Community
Developmental Disability Programs (CDDPs). Instead,
service providers will have a provider enrollment agreement with SPD and will
receive direct payments. CDDPs will continue to
authorize services delivered by providers and paid directly by SPD.

rule were not updated, All references to training points were also removed as
requirements to obtain and maintain certification reference training hours,
rather than converting them to points. Other obsolete rules references
regarding training were also removed. Finally, this update removes obsolete
statutory references, updates to OAR references, and makes minor housekeeping
changes for clarity.

Summary: Currently, the minimum standards for employment as a
law enforcement officer or telecommunicator/emergency
medical dispatcher requires applicants to furnish evidence of a high school
diploma or GED. On rare occasions an applicant has completed post-secondary
education but has not completed high school or received a GED. This rule update
adds language allowing law enforcement applicants to furnish documentary
evidence of a four-year, post-secondary degree from an accredited college or
university to satisfy the minimum education standard.

Summary: Since the time the mandatory and discretionary
disqualifier lists were adopted into Oregon Administrative Rule, some issues have been identified that should be addressed through
amendments to the current rule.
First, a recent ruling made by the Ninth
Circuit Court declared ORS 167.054 (Furnishing sexually Explicit Material to a
Child) unconstitutional. This crime remains listed as a mandatory disqualifier
because the crime remains in the Criminal Code. A notation has been added to
help guide staff and constituents. regarding this
crime,
Second, crimes in ORS Chapter 97
(Rights and Duties Relating to Cemeteries, Human Bodies and Anatomical Gifts);
Chapter 609 (Animal Control; Exotic Animals,; Dealers); and Chapter 830 (Small Watercraft) have been categorized and added to
the discretionary disqualifier list.
Finally, ORS Chapters 496–498
deal with the administration and enforcement of hunting, angling and wildlife
regulation. Three crimes associated with violations of these Chapters are
included in the current list of discretionary disqualifying crimes, however, an individual may be convicted of a misdemeanor for violating any of
the provisions of these chapters with a culpable mental state. Because it is
not practical to list every statute that may be violated, the current reference
to three specific crimes has been replaced with a broader reference to the
relevant chapters to better inform our criminal justice constituents. The
appropriate category would be determined on a case-by-case basis. when cases are brought to a policy committee for review.

Also, ORS 163.670 (Using a Child in
Displays of Sexually Explicit Conduct) was removed from the list of
discretionary disqualifiers for fire service professionals. ORS 163.670 is a
Measure 11 crime and is there fore a mandatory disqualifier.

Summary: Oregon Revised Statute previously allowed for
Department of Public Safety Standards and training (DPSST) employees or
officers to act as Department representatives during a contested case hearing,
however, the statute granting this authority has been changed, DPSST is no
longer authorized to use lay representatives in contested case hearings. The
agency is represented by the Oregon Department of Justice at all such
proceedings. This proposed rule update repeals the rule defining this authority
found in chapter 259, division 008 (Criminal Justice), division 009 (Fire
Service) and division 060 (Private Security).

Summary: OAR 735-064-0020 establishes who may apply for a
hardship or probationary permit and lists those suspensions or revocations that
disqualify a person from being issued a hardship or probationary permit. Under
ORS 807.240(3)(d), to qualify for a hardship permit a person must show that he
or she “is not incompetent to drive nor a habitual incompetent, reckless or
criminally negligent driver as established by the person’s driving record.” A
person who is convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicants is
required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) to prevent the person
from driving after consuming alcohol. ORS 813.602(6) requires DMV to suspend a
person’s driving privileges for tampering with an IID. Tampering with an IID
shows the person is a reckless driver and does not qualify for a hardship
permit. Currently, DMV will not issue a hardship permit to a person whose
driving privileges are suspended due to tampering with an IID. DMV proposes to
amend OAR 735-064-0020 to specify in administrative rule that a person whose
driving privileges are suspended for tampering with an IID may not apply for a
hardship permit.

Last Date for
Comment: 6-21-11
Summary: OAR 735-070-0085 was adopted in 1988 and requires a
person convicted by an Oregon court of driving under the influence of
intoxicants to provide to DMV a DUII Treatment Completion Certificate in order
to reinstate the mandatory suspension of driving privileges. At the time this
rule was adopted, completion of a treatment program required a finding that the
person had a problem condition involving alcohol or controlled substances,
which directly tied to a driver’s qualification for driving privileges under
ORS 807.060(4). However, ORS 813.020 was amended to require everyone convicted
of DUII to complete a treatment program. ORS 809.380 requires DMV to reinstate
suspended driving privileges without requalification, except that the
department may require evidence the person is qualified for driving privileges.
DUII treatment is no longer tied to a driver’s qualification for driving
privileges under ORS 807.060(4), so DMV proposes to repeal OAR 735-070-0085.

for the rate of pay of an individual, as used in determining suitable work.
Using the average rate of pay takes into account wages paid over all
individuals for a particular occupation. This can result in an average not
being representative for wages in a field, as it can be
skewed by a few highly paid workers. The median wage provides a better
estimate of the prevailing rate of pay for a particular occupation.
