OAR 738-035-0010
Application of Operating Minimum Standards
(1)
Existing operators with current agreements executed prior to February 1, 2003, shall not be required to conform to these minimum standards until renewal of their agreement with the Department; however, any exempt operator may voluntarily elect to comply with these operating minimum standards in advance of their renewal date.(2)
Existing operators who are unable to meet the requirements of these minimum standards at the time of their agreement renewal shall submit a written plan outlining a specific timeline for their full compliance with the minimum standards. The Director, or the Director’s designee, must approve the compliance plan prior to renewal of the agreement.(3)
These operating minimum standards are deemed to be part of each commercial operator’s agreement with the Department, whether or not expressly set forth in their written agreement, with the exception of those specific instances when provisions are expressly waived or modified in writing by the Director or the Director’s designee. The omission of a specific reference to any particular minimum standard in an operator’s written agreement with the Department shall not constitute a waiver or modification of these operating minimum standards.(4)
If a commercial operator conducts multiple aeronautical activities under a single written agreement with the Department, that operator shall comply with the minimum standards established for each separate activity or SASO. If the minimum standards for one aeronautical activity are inconsistent with the minimum standards for another, then the stricter or higher standard shall apply to all aeronautical activities of that operator.(5)
Activities with no specific minimum standards in these rules shall be addressed by the Department on a case-by-base basis in the commercial operator’s written lease, license, permit or agreement.
