The proposed new rules are needed because 2022 HB 4008 was passed to move the size and weights permit program that appears in 47 O.S. §14-101 to §14-126 from DPS to ODOT. As a result, DPS and ODOT size and weight rules needed to be consolidated and modified to appear only in Title 730. This creates a new Title 730, Chapter 50 Size and Weight Permits, which combines and updates all former size and weights rules that existing in Title 730 and Title 595 and places them in one Title and one Chapter of the OAC. DPS and ODOT have taken action to revoke all older size and weights rules so these rules are needed to carry out the requirements of the updated statutes governing size and weight permits.

The Oklahoma Water Resources Board proposed to make permanent the emergency rules related to programs authorized by the Legislature under the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA").
Subchapter 15 is proposed to add language to implement provisions of Senate Bill 429, and Senate Bill 13xx of the Second Extraordinary Session of the 58th Oklahoma Legislature (2022). This measure allocates funds to OWRB for water and wastewater infrastructure as authorized by the ARPA. The legislation directs OWRB to create a water and wastewater infrastructure grant program for communities 7,000 or less and a water and wastewater infrastructure grant program for communities 7,001 or more from funds available from the ARPA. The intended effect of the emergency rules is to provide a structure for the OWRB to review ARPA water and wastewater infrastructure grant applications, create a priority point system, clarify the approval process, and disburse funds as well as provide necessary information to potential applicants regarding laws, guidelines, and the process.
Subchapter 17 is proposed to add language to implement provisions of Senate Bill 429, and Senate Bill 13xx of the Second Extraordinary Session of the 58th Oklahoma Legislature (2022). This measure allocates funds to OWRB for a publicly owned deficient dams grant program from funds available from ARPA. The intended effect of the emergency rules is to provide a structure for the OWRB to review Oklahoma Dam Rehabilitation Grant applications, create a priority point system, clarify the approval process, and disburse funds as well as provide necessary information to potential applicants regarding laws, guidelines, and the process.
Subchapter 19 is proposed to add language to implement provisions of Senate Bill 4 and Senate Bill 13xx of the Second Extraordinary Session of the 58th Oklahoma Legislature (2022). This measure allocates funds to OWRB to establish a grant program to match tribal investment in rural water infrastructure projects as authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA"). The funds shall be used as recommended and approved by the Joint Committee on Pandemic Relief Funding on March 10, 2022. The legislation directs OWRB to create rules and establish procedures for evaluation and awarding grant applications. The intended effect of the emergency rules is to provide a structure for the OWRB to review ARPA Tribal Cooperation Grant program requirements, clarify the approval process, disburse funds, and provide necessary information to potential applicants regarding laws, guidelines, and the process. This subchapter has been amended from the emergency rules to add "a federally recognized Indian tribe or authorized Indian tribal organization" to the definition of "Qualified Entity".
