Section 345-011-0035 - Requests to Place Items on the Agenda

(1) Any person may request formal Council action on a particular subject (an "action item") by submitting a written request to the Department of Energy. With the concurrence of the chair, the Council Secretary shall place the requested matter on the agenda for discussion at the next meeting occurring at least 14 days after the request is received by the Department. The Council shall treat the matter as an information item at that meeting and may take final action on the matter if a majority of the members present agree that the request is so substantial and of such immediate concern that the Council should not defer action until a future meeting. Normally, however, the Council will defer action on the matter until a future meeting.

(2) Any person may request Council discussion of an information item by submitting a written request to the Department. With the concurrence of the chair, the Council Secretary shall place the requested matter on the agenda for discussion at the next meeting occurring at least 14 days after the request is received by the Department.

(3) The provisions of section (1) do not apply to petitions requesting the Council to initiate a rulemaking proceeding, as described in OAR 137-001-0070, or petitions requesting the Council to issue a declaratory ruling, as described in OAR 137-002-0010.
