Description: On Tuesday, 14 May 2024, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will hold the second advisory committee meeting for the CPP 2024 Rulemaking. The purpose of this rulemaking is to reestablish a climate mitigation program in place of the recently invalidated Climate Protection Program. In December 2023, the Oregon Court of Appeals determined that DEQ did not fully comply with notice requirements during the 2021 Climate Protection Program rulemaking process, thereby invalidating the program. This rulemaking will:

·_        Reestablish a program to set limits on greenhouse gas emissions from significant sources in Oregon.

·_        Set an enforceable and declining limit, or cap, on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels used in Oregon, including diesel, gasoline, natural gas, and propane beginning in 2025.

·_        Prioritize equity by promoting benefits and alleviating burdens for environmental justice communities.

·_        Reestablish a climate program with comparable scope and emissions reduction ambitions as the previously adopted Climate Protection Program.

Additional meeting materials are now posted on the CPP 2024 Rulemaking website for the second rulemaking advisory committee (RAC).
