Plan Review Procedures:
(1) Plans Required. Prefabricated structures
			 constructed for use in Oregon shall be constructed to plans approved by the
			 Division or a certified third-party agency. The Division or certified
			 third-party agencies shall review and approve plans for the construction of
			 prefabricated structures in compliance with the
Oregon Specialty

			 application for plan approval shall be on forms provided by the Division. The
			 application shall show the use or occupancy, be accompanied by plans,
			 specifications and other data and include the plan review fee required by OAR
			 918-674-0155. Plans shall be
			 submitted as custom plans or design master plans.
(a) Custom Plans. Plans shall be submitted to
			 the Division or a certified third-party agency as custom plans if the
			 manufacturer plans to build just one structure from the plans. If a
			 manufacturer later decides to build additional structures, the manufacturer can
			 convert the custom plans to design master plans, if they meet the minimum
			 requirements for design master plans and an application is submitted to the
			 Division or a certified third-party agency along with the difference in fees
			 required by OAR 918-674-0155.
(b) Design Master Plans. Plans should be
			 submitted to the Division as design master plans if the manufacturer plans to
			 build multiple structures of the same design according to ORS
			 455.685. Design master plans
			 shall meet the minimum requirements for every geographical area for which the
			 prefabricated structure is designed or intended to be located. The Division may
			 approve a manufacturer to submit a limited number of design options in a design
			 master plan. The Division may approve the use of common engineering for
			 multiple design master plans if properly referenced within each set of plans.
			 Amendments to design master plans may be submitted to the Division or
			 third-party agency at any time and shall be reviewed at the current hourly rate
			 established in OAR 918-674-0155.
