OAR 150-183-0030: Notifying Interested Parties of Intended Rulemaking Actions

(1) The Department of Revenue has established a process to allow interested parties to request notification of the department's intended rulemaking activities. (a) Persons may mail written requests for notification to: Oregon Department of Revenue, Attn: Rules Coordinator, Director's Office, 955 Center St NE, Salem, OR 97301-2555. (b) Requests may also be sent by electronic mail to: rulescoordinator.dor@state.or.us. (2) A person whose request is received by the Rules Coordinator on or before the 20th day of the month will receive notification of any intended rulemaking actions as published in the Oregon Bulletin for the next succeeding month. A person whose request is received after the 20th day of the month will receive notification of any actions scheduled for the second succeeding month. Example: In June, Renee sent a request to be added to the mailing list of interested parties. If the Rules Coordinator receives the request on June 20, Renee will receive notification of any intended actions as published in the July issue of the Oregon Bulletin. If, instead, the Rules Coordinator receives the request on June 25, Renee will receive notification beginning with intended actions as published in the August issue of the Oregon Bulletin. (3) A request for notification will remain in effect for future rulemaking actions until the person withdraws the request or the department determines that the address used for sending notification is invalid. (4) The department will send notification of its intended rulemaking activity by mail or, if requested, by electronic mail. For purposes of ORS 183.335(8), if the interested party chooses to receive notification electronically, that notice is considered “mailed” on the date it is sent by the department to the requestor.
