ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. S 3 -q (g-/!;* of the City Manager Pro-Tem of the City of Eugene Emergency Rule Amending Emergency Rule Concerning Application of Hazardous Piping Regulations in Construction of Semiconductor Manufacturing Facilities Adopted by Administrative Order No. 53-96-03, and Extending the Effective Date. The City Manager Pro-Tem of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Pursuant to the authority of Sections 2.019(6) and Chapter 8 of the Eugene Code, 1971, which authorizes the City Manager to adopt rules for the administration and enforcement of provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971, specifically including regulations and policies relating to construction requirements, on March 14, 1996 I issued Administrative Order No. 53-96-03 adopting Emergency Rule Concerning Application of Hazardous Piping Regulations in Construction of Semiconductor Manufacturing Facilities. That Rule requires the application of the 1993 Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code, Appendix 24 to the review of hazardous piping and equipment installations in semiconductor manufacturing facilities during the processing of building permit applications and conducting construction inspections. B. That Emergency Rule, which will expire on September 10, 1996, should be extended for an additional 180-day period, during which time the rule will be reviewed and considered for adoption as a permanent rule, or a determination made to repeal the rule. C. On April 1 , 1996 the 1996 Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code became effective and the former Appendix 24 is now Appendix Chapter 14 of the 1996 Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code. The Rule should therefore be amended to require the application of the 1996 Oregon Mechanical Specialty Code, Appendix 14 to the review of hazardous piping and equipment installations in semiconductor manufacturing facilities. D. During the effective period of this emergency rule as extended, review and consideration shall be given to the effect of this regulation, the resources required to provide this regulation, and what final regulations should be included in a final rule or whether the rule should be repealed. E. I find that adoption of this emergency rule is necessary in order to ensure that this policy is continued to be strictly adhered to by the Building Official in considering applications for development or construction of semiconductor manufacturing facilities using hazardous piping and equipment.
