Okla. Stat. tit. 27A, § 27A-2-14-201: Rules for implementation

A. The Board shall have the authority to promulgate rules to

implement the Oklahoma Uniform Environmental Permitting Act for each

tier which will to the greatest extent possible:

1. Enable applicants to follow a consistent application

process;

2. Ensure that uniform public participation opportunities are

offered;

3. Provide for uniformity in notices required of applicants;

and

4. Set forth procedural application requirements.

B. Such rules shall:

1. Designate applications as Tier I, II or III. In making such

determinations, the Board and each recommending Council shall

consider information and data offered on:

a. the significance of the potential impact of the type

of activity on the environment,

b. the amount, volume and types of waste proposed to be

accepted, stored, treated, disposed, discharged,

emitted or land applied,

c. the degree of public concern traditionally connected

with the type of activity,

d. the federal classification, if any, for such proposed

activity, operation or type of site or facility, and

e. any other factors relevant to such determinations;

2. For purposes of this section, the Board and each

recommending Council shall ensure that such designations are

consistent with any analogous classifications set forth in

applicable federal programs.

C. Such rules shall for each tier:

1. Set forth uniform procedures for filing an application;

2. Contain specific uniform requirements for each type of

notice required by the Oklahoma Uniform Environmental Permitting

Act; provided, however, that if notice and public participation

opportunities are required, such requirements shall not exceed those

set forth for the tier unless required otherwise by applicable

federal regulations promulgated as rules of the Board or a holding

of the Oklahoma Supreme Court;

3. Contain other provisions needed to implement and administer

this article; and

4. Designate positions to which the Executive Director may

delegate, in writing, the power and duty to issue, renew, amend,

modify and deny permits.

D. Such rules shall be adopted by the Board by March 1, 1996.
