NOTIFICATION
Addendum
The following communication, dated 30 January 2024, is being circulated at the
request of the delegation of the United States of America.
_______________
Title: Climate 2023
Description: DEQ
will begin the process to reinstate the Climate Protection Program in the first quarter of 2024 following a 20 December 2023
ruling from the Oregon Court of Appeals. The court decided that DEQ did not
fully comply with notice requirements during the rulemaking process for the
program, thereby invalidating the final rules and the program. The court's ruling did not impact DEQ's underlying authority to establish and
enforce the Climate Protection Program. DEQ has decided not to appeal this
decision. Following the appeal deadline, the court will issue a judgment
finalizing its decision and the Climate Protection Program will no longer be in
effect.
