Proposal for Rulemaking, OAR 736-008-0005 to 736-008-0055
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is proposing changes to state rules for a federal grant program that funds outdoor recreation projects.
The state rules for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant were last updated in 1997. LWCF grants are available for local jurisdictions to acquire or develop outdoor recreation facilities. OPRD administers the federally funded grant program. The proposed changes include: updating definitions, aligning state rules with federal requirements, raising the minimum federal share on a project, and updating application requirements.
