From casaria.taylor at state.or.us Tue Apr 18 10:45:31 2017 From: casaria.taylor at state.or.us (Taylor, Casaria) Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2017 17:45:31 +0000 Subject: [DLCD-Rulemaking] DLCD Rulemaking Notice: Revise Disturbance Baseline Attached to LCDC's Sage-Grouse Rule (OAR 660-023-0115, Attachment D) Message-ID: Date: 4/18/2017 To: Rulemaking List From: Rules Coordinator Subject: Rulemaking Notice This e-mail message provides the notice of the Department of Land Conservation and Development rulemaking that you have requested. CAPTION: Revise disturbance baseline attached to LCDC's Sage-grouse rule SUMMARY: The department will recommend the commission adopt a minor rule revision in order to modify the existing human disturbance baseline values for sage grouse core areas (OAR 660-023-0115, Exhibit D). The original baseline values were determined using a variety of datasets that were the best available in 2013-2014. One of these datasets delineating electric transmission lines was a proprietary dataset that is now preventing the department from creating a fully transparent central registry as directed in Section 15 of OAR 660-023-0115 (a.k.a. Sage Grouse Rule). This rulemaking is intended to modify the baseline values to reflect the use of a replacement transmission line dataset that is state-owned and maintained. No other amendments to the Sage Grouse Rule, the baseline values, or the supporting datasets will be requested. ATTACHMENTS: Attached are copies of: * The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Hearing; * The Statement of Need and Fiscal Impact; * The Housing Impact Statement; * The Proposed Rules - will be available on the department's website after May 1 (new language underlined in bold, deleted language in strikethrough). WEBSITE: The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Hearing, Statement of Need and Fiscal Impact, Housing Impact Statement and the Proposed Rules are available at: http://www.oregon.gov/LCD/Pages/Rules.aspx#Sage_Grouse_Baseline_Table_Rulemaking HOW TO COMMENT: You may comment on the proposed rules by sending written comments by 5/18/2017, to: Rules Coordinator, Department of Land Conservation and Development 635 Capitol St., Ste. 150 Salem, Oregon 97301 Or via email to: casaria.taylor at state.or.us RULEMAKING HEARING: You may also provide oral or written comments at the rulemaking hearing, which will take place: Date: 5/18/2017 Time: 8:30 a.m. Place: Department of Land Conservation and Development, Basement Hearing Room, 635 Capitol St., Salem, OR 97301 If you no longer wish to receive notice of the Department of Land Conservation and Development's rulemaking activities, you may respond to this message and ask to be removed from the mailing list.
