The Department of Energy proposed to amend Or. Admin. R. 330.70, pertaining to the eligibility criteria for residential alternative energy devices and the calculation of net costs. The rule would change definitions in the Residential Energy Tax Credit rules to include energy purchase agreements, installed output, and third-party financing, and would redefine net costs and eligible alternative vehicles. The rule amendments would also modify the criteria for determining the amount of credit and system certification requirements, extend the time for technician tax credit certification from an annual to three-year cycle, increase the standard for total solar resource fraction, and increase the eligibility requirements for appliances. http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/rules/1210_Bulletin/1210_rulemaking_bulletin.html.
