OAR 350-016-0050. Incorporation by Reference

The Gorge Commission may incorporate by reference and without publishing the incorporated matter in full, all or any part of a code, standard, rule, or regulation that has been adopted by an agency of the United States, by an agency of Oregon or Washington, by a political subdivision of Oregon or Washington, other government entity, or by a generally recognized organization or association if incorporation of the full text in the Gorge Commission’s rules would be unduly cumbersome, expensive, or otherwise inexpedient. The reference in the Gorge Commission’s rules shall fully identify the incorporated matter. The Gorge Commission may incorporate by reference such matter in its rules only if the agency, organization, or association originally issuing that matter makes copies readily available to the public. The Gorge Commission shall have, maintain, and make available for public inspection a copy of the incorporated matter. The rule must state where copies of the incorporated matter are available.
