OAR 860-088-0130: Obligations of Project Managers

(1) The Project Manager must register with the Program Administrator. (2) The Project Manager must comply with the standard of conduct established by Commission order. Upon notice of a potential compliance deficiency, the Project Manager will be afforded the opportunity to meet with Commission Staff and the Program Administrator to work toward a resolution. If the compliance deficiency is not resolved, the Commission may direct the Program Administrator to withhold payments to the Project Manager and take other action as permitted by rule, statute, or contract. (3) The Project Manager must provide any information the Program Administrator or Staff reasonably determines is necessary to investigate issues and make decisions regarding Project Manager participation and status in the program---e.g., to ascertain compliance with the requirements for pre-certification and certification in OAR 860-088-0040 and 860-088-0050 and the standard of conduct set forth in the Program Implementation Manual. Such request for information shall not be unduly burdensome. (4) For the collection of ownership or subscription fees owed to the Project Manager, the Project Manager must use the Commission-approved on-bill payment method described in OAR 860-088-0120(3). (a) The Project Manager may use a modified on-bill payment method if agreed to by the Program Administrator and the electric company. (b) The Project Manager may request approval of an alternative fee collection method for ownership or subscription configurations incompatible with the available on-bill payment methods.
