Title: Climate Protection Program (CPP) 2024
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).
