Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
Each municipality providing industrial and commercial
				structural, mechanical and plumbing specialty code inspections can request
				delegation provided it:
(1) Files a
			 timely notice under ORS
			 455.148 or
			 455.150 covering the basic
			 programs and serves the required parties, the state in case of a county, and
			 county and state in case of a city;
(2) Files separate requests for delegation of
			 optional special master permit and minor label inspection programs for
			 commercial and industrial structural, mechanical or plumbing installations with
			 the division at the same time and with the same parties in subsection (a) of
			 this section and includes as relevant:
(a) A
			 proposed time line and method by which the municipality shall adopt random
			 inspections or master permit inspections or both within its jurisdiction and
			 notify persons within its inspection boundaries;
(b) A description of the inspection area to
			 be covered and specific identification of covered facilities which cross
			 jurisdictional lines that are included or excluded in the requested delegation:
(A) If a covered facility crosses
			 jurisdictional lines, delegation shall only be allowed if the facility is to be
			 served by one inspecting jurisdiction for all of its inspection needs covering
			 the program for which master permit application is sought and there is consent
			 by the adjacent jurisdictions. The only exceptions are where a logical division
			 of the covered facility can be made and there is no additional expense or loss
			 of convenience to the facility or where a facility crossing jurisdictional
			 lines is constructed after delegation of the program;
(B) The request for delegation shall explain
			 how facilities that cross jurisdictional boundaries will be inspected, and how
			 the relevant code shall be enforced, if the facility elects to be inspected
			 under the master permit program. Copies of agreements with surrounding
			 jurisdictions, dispute resolution agreements or a statement there is no related
			 facility that crosses jurisdictional lines are acceptable;
(C) An explanation shall be provided
			 regarding how fees shall be established with the facility. Copies of prototype
			 agreements with facilities or agreements with adjacent jurisdictions are
			 acceptable;
(D) An agreement that
			 if a disagreement arises between applicant and any adjacent jurisdiction over
			 who should provide complete services to a facility that crosses a
			 jurisdictional line, the division may immediately assign the facility to any
			 jurisdiction to provide complete inspection services covering the program under
			 which there is a disagreement. If applicant is not assigned the authority,
			 applicant shall cooperate in allowing the assigned jurisdiction to operate in
			 its territory and in bringing any enforcement actions necessary involving that
			 facility.
