(2) Notwithstanding the requirements of ORS 183.335, when the Council is required to adopt rules or regulations promulgated by an agency of the federal government and the Council has no authority to alter or amend the content or language of those rules or regulations prior to their adoption, the Council must adopt those rules or regulations under the procedure prescribed in ORS 183.337. (3) The Council may update the mailing list described in subsection (1)(b) of this rule annually by requesting persons to confirm that they wish to remain on the mailing list.

Any person removed from the mailing list must be immediately returned to the mailing list upon request, provided the person provides an address or email address to which notice may be sent.
