Definitions
For the purposes of OAR 137-001-0005 to 137-005-0070, unless otherwise defined therein, the words and phrases used in these rules have the same meaning as given to them in ORS 183.310 and:
(1) "Consensus" means a decision developed by a collaborative DR process that each participant can accept;
(2) "Convenor" means a person who aids in identifying appropriate issues and members for a collaborative rulemaking committee to develop a proposed rule, or who aids in identifying issues and participants for a collaborative dispute resolution process;
(3) "Collaborative dispute resolution process" or "collaborative DR process" means any process by which a collaborative dispute resolution provider assists the participants in working together to develop a mutually acceptable resolution to a controversy. A collaborative DR process does not include:
(a) Contested case hearings; or
(b) Meetings, outside of a collaborative rulemaking process, in which a facilitator is used solely to lead an orderly meeting, manage an agenda or assist the group in accomplishing tasks and the facilitator is not attempting to resolve a controversy by developing consensus among the participants.

Public Input Prior to Rulemaking
(1) The agency may seek public input before giving notice of intent to adopt, amend, or repeal a rule.

(2) If the agency appoints an advisory committee, the agency shall make a good faith effort to ensure that the committee's members represent the interests of persons likely to be affected by the rule. The meetings of the advisory committee shall be open to the public.
(3) If the advisory committee indicates that the rule will have a significant adverse impact on small businesses, the agency will seek the advisory committee's recommendations on compliance with ORS 183.540.
(4) The agency will consider recommendations from the advisory committee in preparing the statement of fiscal impact required by ORS 183.335(2)(b)(E).

Assessment for Use of Collaborative Process in Rulemaking

(D) Are willing to negotiate in good faith; and
(E) Have the time, resources and ability to participate effectively in a collaborative rulemaking process;

(g) The agency has adequate resources and is willing to commit such resources, including technical assistance, to the committee;

(i) Whether a collaborative rulemaking committee should also serve as an advisory committee under ORS 183.333(1).
(2) The agency may use the services of a convenor to assist the agency in conducting the assessment and in further identifying persons, interest groups or entities who will be significantly affected by a proposed rulemaking action and the issues of concern to them, and in ascertaining whether a collaborative rulemaking committee is feasible and appropriate for the particular rulemaking action. Upon request of the agency, the convenor may ascertain the names of persons who are willing and qualified to represent interests that will be significantly affected by the proposed rule.
(3) Upon request of the agency, the convenor shall report findings in writing and may make recommendations to the agency. Any written report and recommendations of the convenor shall be made available to the public upon request.
(4) If the collaborative rulemaking committee also serves as an advisory committee under ORS 183.333(1), the committee will make recommendations about the fiscal impact of the proposed rule or rules, as required by ORS 183.333.

Use of Collaborative Dispute Resolution in Rulemaking

(a) The membership of the rulemaking committee;
(b) Whether or not the agency will be a member of the committee;
(c) A proposed agenda and schedule for completing the work of the committee, including a target date for publication by the agency of any intended rulemaking action pursuant to ORS 183.335; and

(2) The agency may inform persons on the agency's mailing list maintained pursuant to ORS 183.335(8), those legislators designated in ORS 183.335(15) and any other persons of the subject and scope of rulemaking action that may result from the work of the collaborative rulemaking committee.
(3) The agency may limit membership on a collaborative rulemaking committee to ensure proper functioning of the committee or to achieve balanced membership. If the agency will be a member of the committee, the person or persons representing the agency may participate in the deliberations and activities of the committee with the same status as other members of the committee.
(4) A collaborative rulemaking committee established under this rule shall consider the matter proposed by the agency and attempt to reach a consensus concerning a proposed rulemaking action with respect to such matter.

(7) The agency may select a facilitator, subject to removal by the committee by consensus. In selecting a facilitator, the agency may consider the convenor or any qualified individual, including an agency employee. If the committee elects to remove the facilitator selected by the agency, the agency may select another facilitator or allow the committee to select a facilitator by consensus. An individual designated to represent the agency in substantive issues may not serve as a facilitator or otherwise chair the committee.
(8) A facilitator approved or selected by a collaborative rulemaking committee may chair the meetings of the committee, assist the members of the committee in conducting discussions and negotiations, or manage the keeping of minutes and records and such assistance, if any, shall be provided in an impartial manner.
(9) For purposes of a collaborative rulemaking, both convenors and facilitators are considered dispute resolution providers, except that the agency's personal services contract for convenors need not contain the elements listed in OAR 137-005-0040(6)(b).
(10) A collaborative rulemaking committee established under this rule may adopt procedures for the operation of the committee. If the committee reaches a consensus on a proposed rulemaking action, the committee shall transmit to the agency a report containing the proposed rulemaking action. If the committee does not reach a consensus on a proposed rulemaking action, the committee may transmit to the agency a report specifying any areas in which the committee did reach a consensus.
(11) If the agency chooses to proceed with a rulemaking action after receiving the report of the committee, the agency shall comply with the rulemaking procedures in ORS 183.325 to 183.355.
(12) The agency may request the committee to reconvene after a notice of proposed rulemaking action required by ORS 183.335(1) in order to consider any public comments received by the agency related to the rule. If the agency wishes to receive input from the committee after the deadline for comment on the proposed rulemaking action, the agency shall extend the comment deadline in order to receive such recommendations from the committee. The agency shall provide notice of the extended deadline to persons on the agency's mailing list maintained pursuant to ORS 183.335(8), to those legislators designated in ORS 183.335(15) and to persons identified in its notice rule adopted under ORS 183.341(4).
(13) The collaborative rulemaking committee shall terminate upon the agency's adoption, amendment, or repeal of the final rule under consideration, unless the committee specifies an earlier termination date. The agency may terminate the collaborative rulemaking committee at any time.
(14) The members of a collaborative rulemaking committee are responsible for their own expenses of participation in the committee. If authorized by law, the agency may pay a member's reasonable travel and per diem expenses and other expenses as the agency deems appropriate.
