Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) Upon the receipt of an application filed
				  pursuant to this Article, the executive director or a delegatee shall review
				  all documentation to determine whether the application contains all the
				  information required by section
				  2022 and is, therefore, complete.
				  Except as provided by this section the review of the application for
				  completeness shall be in accordance with section
				  1709.
(b) No later than 45 days after receipt of an
				  application, the commission shall act upon the executive director's
				  recommendation as to whether the application contains the information required
				  by section
				  2022 and is, therefore, complete.
				  If the commission determines that the application is complete, the application
				  shall be accepted as of that date and the proceeding for reaching a final
				  decision within six months shall begin. Based on meeting the information
				  requirements of section
				  2022, the application shall be
				  considered to be an initial showing that there is substantial evidence that the
				  project will not cause a significant adverse impact on the environment or
				  electrical system and will comply with all applicable standards, ordinances,
				  and laws.
(c) If the commission
				  determines that the application contains all of the information required by
				  Appendix B to this Chapter, but not all of the additional information required
				  by section
				  2022, the application shall be
				  deemed accepted for purposes of reaching a final decision within 12 months. The
				  applicant, however, may request an immediate suspension at the time of
				  acceptance for a 12-month decision to allow for the submittal of additional
				  information to meet the requirements of section
				  2022(b)(1) through
				  (5). If the applicant makes such a request,
				  the commission shall specify in writing what information is needed to complete
				  the application for a six-month decision.
(d) If the commission determines that the
				  application is incomplete with respect to Appendix B to this Chapter, the
				  application shall not be accepted. The commission shall indicate in writing
				  those parts of the application that fail to meet the information requirements
				  and the manner in which they can be made complete.
(e) The applicant may file additional
				  information and the commission, in accordance with section
				  1709, shall determine, within 30
				  days of receipt of the data, whether the information is sufficient to complete
				  the application. The application shall be eligible for a final decision within
				  six months from the day the commission determines that the application is
				  complete pursuant to section
				  2022.
