Such rules may include, but are not limited to, motor vehicle fuel grade advertising, pump grade labeling, testing procedures, quality standards and identification requirements for motor vehicle fuels and ethanol, biodiesel and other renewable diesel, as those terms are defined in ORS § 646.905. Rules adopted by the director under this section shall be consistent, to the extent the director considers appropriate, with the most recent standards adopted by ASTM International. As standards of ASTM International are revised, the director shall revise the rules in a manner consistent with the revisions unless the director determines that those revised rules will significantly interfere with the director’s ability to carry out the provisions of ORS § 646.947 to 646.963. Rules adopted pursuant to this section must adequately protect confidential business information and trade secrets that the director or the director’s authorized agent may discover when inspecting books, papers and records pursuant to ORS § 646.955.
