Controlled Species
At the time the commission categorizes a species, subspecies or hybrid as Controlled, it shall also establish the controls necessary to protect native wildlife.

(3) Controlled Amphibians:
(a) Bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) including viable eggs, hatchlings, tadpoles, juveniles and adults: No person may import, purchase, sell, barter or exchange, or offer to import, purchase, sell, barter or exchange live bullfrogs. Individual bullfrogs may be collected from the wild and held indoors in an escape proof aquarium as per OAR 635-044-0035. Release is prohibited unless the person first obtains a permit from the Director.

635-056-0130
Classification Requests
(1) For species that are not listed in these rules, no person may possess, import, purchase, sell, exchange, or offer to purchase, sell or exchange the species in Oregon.
(2) Species may be classified as Prohibited, Controlled or Noncontrolled. The classification may vary by activity (e.g., possession allowed, but sale prohibited). If a specific nonnative species, subspecies or hybrid is not classified as either Prohibited, Controlled or Noncontrolled, or is classified but not for a particular activity (e.g., import, sale, possession, transport), any person may either:
(a) Petition the commission to classify the species or allow the particular activity pursuant to OAR 137-001-0070; or
(b) Request the director to classify the species as Noncontrolled, pursuant to OAR 635-056-0140.
(c) Any person petitioning or requesting classification shall provide information illustrating that the requested action will not harm, nor has the potential to harm, any native species or its habitat. The information should be scientific in nature, in written form and include an appropriate literature cited section.
(3) In evaluating a request to classify a species, subspecies or hybrid, the commission may consider the following factors, when appropriate:
(a) Potential to introduce disease or parasites to native wildlife populations;
(b) Potential for interbreeding or hybridizing with native wildlife;
(c) Possible competition with native wildlife for habitat, food, water, etc.;
(d) Impacts on the habitat of native wildlife;
(e) Potential predation on native wildlife;
(f) Feasibility of capturing and eradicating escaped animals;
(g) Cost of capturing and eradicating escaped animals; or
(h) Any other factor or consideration the commission considers necessary to protect and maintain native wildlife.
(4) The director may appoint a Wildlife Integrity Review Panel to consider the information presented by the petitioner as appropriate. The director may, in appointing the panel, consider scientific expertise, professional background, and other qualifications needed to make sound decisions. The director may seek commission recommendations in making Wildlife Integrity Review Panel appointments. If convened, the panel shall make a recommendation to the commission on the classification of the species, subspecies or hybrid and what conditions, if any, should apply to the proposed activity (e.g., import, sale, possession, transfer).
(5) The director may call for scientific based studies or other verifiable information useful in placing the requested species in the appropriate classification category.

635-056-0140
Noncontrolled Classification
(1) Upon a request pursuant to OAR 635-056-0130(3)(b), the director may classify a species as Noncontrolled if the director determines, based upon scientific information, that the species presents a low risk of harm to native wildlife. In evaluating the risk, the director shall determine the relative risk (high, medium, low, unknown) for each of the following criteria:
(a) Whether the species' natural range and habitat is similar to Oregon's climate and habitat;
(b) Whether the species has an invasive history;
(c) Whether the species can survive in Oregon;
(d) Whether the species has the potential to prey upon native wildlife;
(e) Whether the species can potentially degredate the habitat of native wildlife;
(f) Whether the species has the potential to pass disease or parasites to native wildlife;
(g) What types of disease or parasites could be passed on to native wildlife;
(h) Whether the species has the potential to compete for food, water, shelter, or space with native wildlife;
(i) Whether the species has the potential to hybridize with native wildlife; and
(j) Whether the species can be readily distinguished from a native species, or a prohibited or controlled species.
(2) If the director determines that the risk for all of the above criteria is low, or that the risk for one of the criterion is medium and the risk for the remaining criteria is low, then the director may classify the species as Noncontrolled. If the director determines that the risk for any of the criteria is high or unknown, or that the risk for two or more of the criteria is medium, the director shall refer the petition to the commission for a decision.
(3) The director shall notify the petitioner in writing of any decision and the rationale for that decision. If the petitioner or an affected person disagrees with the director's decision to list a species as Noncontrolled, the person may request the commission to review the director's decision.
(4) The director shall maintain a list of those species classified as Noncontrolled, and shall make the list available to the public.
