(1) The clean fuels program adopted by the Environmental Quality Commission by rule under ORS 468A.266 must be designed such that: (a) Regulated parties generate deficits and may reconcile the deficits, and thus comply with the low carbon fuel standards for a compliance period, by obtaining and retiring credits; (b) Regulated parties and credit generators may generate credits for fuels used as substitutes or alternatives for gasoline or diesel; (c) Regulated parties, credit generators and credit aggregators shall have opportunities to trade credits; and (d) Regulated parties shall be allowed to carry over to the next compliance period a small deficit without penalty. (2) The Department of Environmental Quality shall, throughout a compliance period, regularly monitor the availability of fuels needed for compliance with the low carbon fuel standards. (3)(a) Under the clean fuels program, the department shall monthly calculate the volume-weighted average price of credits and, no later than the last day of the month immediately following the month for which the calculation is completed, post the formula and the nonaggregated data the department used for the calculation and the results of the calculation on the department’s website. (b) In completing the calculation required by this subsection, the department may exclude from the data set credit transfers without a price or other credit transfers made for a price that falls two standard deviations outside of the mean credit price for the month. The data posted on the department’s website under this section may not include any individually identifiable information or information that would otherwise constitute a trade secret under ORS 192.345. (4)(a) In addition to the calculation required under subsection (3) of this section, the department shall annually calculate for the preceding calendar year: (A) The average cost or cost-savings of the low carbon fuel standards per gallon of gasoline and per gallon of diesel; and (B) The total greenhouse gas emissions reductions attributable to the low carbon fuel standards. (b) No later than April 15 of each year, the department shall post the formula the department used for the calculations required by this subsection and the results of the calculations on the department’s website. (c) The State Department of Agriculture shall furnish the formula and results of the calculations required by this subsection to each gas station in this state to facilitate compliance by gas station owners or operators with ORS 646.932.

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 13 - Housing, Games, Environment|Chapter 468A - Air Quality|Section 468A.272 - Fuel supply forecast; forecast review team.

(1) The division of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services that serves as office of economic analysis shall annually coordinate with the Department of Environmental Quality to develop a fuel supply forecast to project the availability of fuels to Oregon necessary for compliance with the low carbon fuel standards. The fuel supply forecast shall include, but need not be limited to, the following with reference to the next compliance period of the clean fuels program: (a) An estimate of the potential volumes of gasoline, gasoline substitutes and gasoline alternatives and diesel, diesel fuel substitutes and diesel alternatives available to Oregon; (b) An estimate of the total banked credits and carried over deficits held by regulated parties, credit generators and credit aggregators at the beginning of the compliance period and an estimate of the total credits attributable to fuels described in paragraph (a) of this subsection; (c) An estimate of the credits needed to meet the scheduled applicable low carbon fuel standard during the forecast compliance period; and (d) A comparison of the estimates under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this subsection with the estimate under paragraph (c) of this subsection to indicate the availability of fuels needed for compliance with the low carbon fuel standards. (2) In developing the estimate required under subsection (1)(a) of this section, the division shall consider, but need not be limited to considering: (a) Constraints that may be preventing access to available and cost-effective low carbon fuels by Oregon, such as geographic and logistical factors, and alleviating factors to the constraints; and (b) The existing and future vehicle fleet in Oregon. (3) The division may appoint, in coordination with the Department of Environmental Quality, a forecast review team of relevant experts to participate in the fuel supply forecast or examination of data required by this section. The team may perform any functions assigned by the division, including but not limited to consulting on the design of the forecast. The forecast required by this section must be completed and provided to the department no later than 90 calendar days before the commencement of the compliance period for which the forecast is developed.

(1) No later than 30 calendar days before the commencement of a compliance period, the Department of Environmental Quality shall issue an order declaring a forecast deferral if the fuel supply forecast developed under ORS 468A.272 projects that the amount of credits that will be available during the forecast compliance period will be less than 100 percent of the credits projected to be necessary for regulated parties to comply with the scheduled applicable low carbon fuel standard for the forecast compliance period. (2) An order declaring a forecast deferral under this section must set forth: (a) The duration of the forecast deferral; (b) The types of fuel to which the forecast deferral applies; and (c) Which of the following methods the department has selected for deferring compliance with the scheduled applicable low carbon fuel standard during the forecast deferral: (A) Temporarily adjusting the scheduled applicable low carbon fuel standard to a standard identified in the order that better reflects the forecast availability of credits during the forecast compliance period and requiring regulated parties to comply with the temporary standard; (B) Requiring regulated parties to comply only with the low carbon fuel standard applicable during the compliance period prior to the forecast compliance period; or (C) Suspending deficit accrual for part or all of the forecast deferral period. (3)(a) In implementing a forecast deferral, the department may take an action for deferring compliance with the low carbon fuel standard other than, or in addition to, selecting a method under subsection (2)(c) of this section only if the department determines that none of the methods under subsection (2)(c) of this section will provide a sufficient mechanism for containing the costs of compliance with the low carbon fuel standards during the forecast deferral. (b) If the department makes the determination specified in paragraph (a) of this subsection, the department shall: (A) Include in the order declaring a forecast deferral the determination and the action to be taken; and (B) Provide written notification and justification of the determination and the action to: (i) The Governor; (ii) The President of the Senate; (iii) The Speaker of the House of Representatives; (iv) The majority and minority leaders of the Senate; and (v) The majority and minority leaders of the House of Representatives. (4) The duration of a forecast deferral may not be less than one calendar quarter or longer than one compliance period. Only the Environmental Quality Commission may terminate, by order, a forecast deferral before the expiration date of the forecast deferral. Termination of a forecast deferral is effective on the first day of the next calendar quarter after the date that the order declaring the termination is adopted. [2017 c.750 §164]
