The Environmental Quality Commission adopts proposed rules or modifications to DEQ's existing administrative rules. Once adopted, the rules are filed with the Secretary of State's Office.
The Secretary of State publishes on its web site Notices of Proposed Rulemaking and adopted rule changes within a few days of when an agency files them with the Secretary. The Secretary publishes the Oregon Bulletin online on the first of each month. The Bulletin compiles all rule documents that agencies filed with the Secretary in the preceding month.
