ORS 480.585
Temporary operation authorization
- operating permit
- suspension or revocation
(1)
After a boiler or pressure vessel has successfully passed an installation inspection, the Department of Consumer and Business Services may issue a temporary operation authorization. The boiler or pressure vessel covered by the temporary operation authorization may only be operated during the period specified in the temporary operation authorization.(2)
An operating permit for a boiler or pressure vessel shall specify the maximum pressure under which the boiler or pressure vessel may be operated.(3)
The department may at any time suspend or revoke an operating permit if the department finds that the boiler or pressure vessel, or related appurtenances, for which the permit was issued does not comply with ORS 480.510 (Short title) to 480.670 (Civil penalty for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Law violations). Suspension of any permit continues in effect until the vessel conforms to ORS 480.510 (Short title) to 480.670 (Civil penalty for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Law violations) and the permit is reissued. However, before suspending or revoking a permit, the department shall first notify the person concerned of the department’s intention. The notice must be in writing and advise the person concerned of the right to appeal in writing within 10 days and that the appeal will be heard by the Board of Boiler Rules. If there is a timely appeal, the department may not suspend or revoke the permit pending the appeal unless the reason for suspension or revocation constitutes an immediate menace to health or safety or the person concerned fails to prosecute an appeal with diligence.(4)
