UPDATE:
This scheduled public rulemaking hearing will be the first of at least two public hearings for this rulemaking. The Oregon Department of Forestry has temporarily withdrawn the wildfire risk map, released June 30, for further refinement.
The Building Codes Division will hold at least one additional public hearing after the map produced by the Oregon Department of Forestry is final. The division is also extending the comment period on these fire hardening building codes standards until after the map produced by the Oregon Department of Forestry is final.
The division’s code change requirements can’t be adopted until there is a map determining where the code requirements will apply. The division will continue to work on the code changes required by SB 762 to be ready to adopt once a final map is available.
Connection information for the first public hearing is below.
