(2) Except as provided in this section, the terms of an agreement established under ORS 826.007 and the provisions of ORS 826.009 control all of the provisions of proportional fleet registration, including but not limited to, the following:

(4) The initial application for proportional fleet registration shall be completed according to interstate agreements or administrative rules.
(5) The department may issue any distinctive proof of registration under this section the department considers convenient. The fee for the issuance of plates, stickers or other suitable identification for proportionally registered fleets is as provided under ORS 826.023.
(6) Vehicles acquired by the registrant after the commencement of the registration period and subsequently added to a proportionally registered fleet shall be proportionally registered according to interstate agreements or administrative rules.
