Or. Admin. Code § 340-273-0400 - [Effective 9/12/2025] Generation of Compliance Instruments
(1) Each year, DEQ
will generate the number of compliance instruments equal to the cap for the
calendar year identified in Table 2 in OAR 340-273-9000.
(2) Additional 2025 compliance instruments.
DEQ will add together the 2022, 2023, and 2024 emissions that would have been
considered covered emissions as described in OAR 340-273-0110(3)(B) for all
fuel suppliers that individually, or as a group of related entities, had
covered emissions greater than or equal to 200,000 MT CO2e from any calendar
year between 2018 and 2022, and DEQ will compare these total emissions to a
benchmark of 81,003,850 MT CO2e. If the total emissions from those fuel
suppliers are at least 10,000 MT CO2e below the benchmark, DEQ will generate
additional compliance instruments equal to the difference between those total
emissions and 81,003,850 and will distribute those additional compliance
instruments in 2025 as described in OAR 340-273-0420(5).
(3) A compliance instrument is a regulatory
instrument and does not constitute personal property, a security or any other
form of property.
(4) Compliance
instruments may not be divided into fractions.
