The Oregon Department of Energy conducted a review of Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 330, and identified three divisions that may be repealed. ODOE no longer has rulemaking authority over the Oregon Residential Weatherization Tax Credit Program, the Business Energy Tax Credits (BETC) Division 90, and the BETC for Renewable Energy Resource Equipment Manufacturing Divisions 91. As a result ODOE is conducting three rulemakings to repeal ORS 330-065, 330-090, and 330-091.
