WOOO NOTICE ON RULE MAKING LEASE TERMS & RATES

If you or your organization have a DSL lease, please take the time to read:

Please take urgent and important action to protect yourselves from unfavorable lease terms and huge rate increases.
Some of the proposed updates to Oregon Administrative Rules 141-082 include:


 • Simplify from three methods to one method for calculating lease rates. • Increase application fees to track with inflation to 150% renewal rate and 5% annual rate increases in-between.


 • Add a Submerged Lands Enhancement Fund annual fee for leases. 


• Add fees for applications requiring review by the Department of Justice and for when leases are not renewed before expiration. 


• Shorten the initial term of a lease to five years. 


• Require financial assurance for registrations. 


• Use clear and simple language where current rule is confusing or unnecessarily complex


Here’s what we recommend YOU do immediately:
-Find someone who is concerned and committed to making this a priority to represent your organization and connect them with us. We will convene a Workgroup for DSL Lease Rules and Terms open to all WOOO members concerned about their future leases.


-Subscribe to notices https://www.oregon.gov/dsl/Pages/subscribe.aspx in particular the sub category Rulemaking: proposed changes to administrative rules


-Attend the virtual meetings

A Rulemaking Advisory Committee (RAC) has convened in November 2024, and all RAC meetings will be noticed, recorded, and open to the community to attend. The anticipated meeting schedule (subject to change,):
