Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The executive director shall charge and
				  collect a reasonable fee from any person proposing a project subject to CEQA to
				  cover the estimated actual cost of preparing a Negative Declaration or an EIR.
				  The deposit shall not be in excess of three percent (3%) of the estimated
				  capital cost of the proposed project.
(b) The Commission staff shall separately
				  account for the deposit collected and the charges thereto. The status of the
				  account shall be provided to the project proponent at regular intervals
				  established by mutual agreement. The executive director shall request
				  additional deposits if the initial deposit has been exhausted. A final
				  accounting shall be rendered by the Commission staff after the final EIR or
				  Negative Declaration has been certified or adopted.
(c) If in the final accounting the deposits
				  exceed the actual costs incurred by the Commission, the excess shall be
				  refunded. If the actual costs exceed the amount of the deposits, the project
				  proponent shall be billed for the difference.
(d) The executive director may adjust or
				  waive deposits for minor projects. For projects with an estimated capital cost
				  of more than $1,000,000, the executive director shall permit payment of the
				  deposit in increments.
(e) The
				  executive director should collect the deposit prior to the preparation of
				  environmental documents and no final EIRs or Negative Declarations shall be
				  certified until the project proponent has reimbursed the Commission for the
				  costs of preparing and processing them.
(f) Where a staged EIR is prepared the
				  executive director shall collect a deposit sufficient to cover the expenses of
				  each stage of the EIR before each stage is commenced. Such deposits shall be
				  accounted for in the manner described in subsection (a) of this section, and a
				  final accounting shall be rendered upon completion of each stage of the EIR at
				  the request of the project proponent.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The provisions of this article shall
				  apply to the consideration of a motion by the commission or an application by a
				  person to designate a transmission corridor zone under Public Resources Code
				  section
				  25331.
(b) The main objectives of the designation
				  process are as follows:
(1) To identify
				  appropriate corridors for transmission planning, taking into consideration the
				  state's principles of encouraging the use of existing rights-of-way, the
				  expansion of existing rights-of-way, and the creation of new rights-of-way in
				  that order;
(2) To identify
				  appropriate corridors for transmission planning, consistent with the state's
				  needs and objectives as set forth in the most recently adopted strategic plan
				  under Section
				  25324
				  of the Public Resources Code applicable at the time an application is filed or
				  a motion made by the commission;
(3) To prepare an environmental assessment of
				  each proposed corridor, taking into account a reasonable range of alternatives
				  and feasible ways to mitigate or avoid foreseeable significant environmental
				  impacts, such that the environmental assessment informs and makes more
				  efficient the licensing process that later considers whether to permit a
				  transmission project within a designated corridor;
(4) To coordinate the state's designation of
				  corridors with existing or proposed federal corridors identified under Section
				  368 of the Federal Energy Policy
				  Act of 2005 (Pub.L. No.
				  109-58(Aug. 8, 2005) 119 Stat. 594.) or contained
				  within adopted federal land use plans so that the state and federal
				  designations result in continuous corridors to the extent
				  practicable;
(5) To work with local
				  governments through whose jurisdictions a transmission corridor is proposed
				  such that each designation takes into account local concerns, recommendations,
				  and adopted land use designations and results in the cooperation of local
				  governments that consider designated corridors when taking actions to amend
				  general and specific land use plans; and
(6) To provide a forum for public
				  participation, public hearings, and the determination of factual and other
				  issues based on the evidence of record in the proceeding.

				  of the application and a brief description of the commission's review process
				  in a newspaper of general circulation in each county where a transmission
				  corridor zone and any alternatives are proposed to be located;
(2) notify all property owners who are within
				  or adjacent to a proposed transmission corridor zone;
(3) notify and transmit a copy of the
				  application to the Electricity Oversight Board, the California Public Utilities
				  Commission, the California Independent System Operator, the Native American
				  Heritage Commission, and all California Native American tribes, City Managers,
				  County Chief Executive Officers, Planning Commission Chairpersons,
				  representatives of state and federal agencies, transmission load-serving

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) An applicant
				  who files an application for designation of a transmission corridor zone shall
				  submit with the application a fee that the executive director estimates will
				  reimburse the commission for all costs associated with reviewing the
				  application. The commission staff shall separately account for the deposit
				  collected and the charges against it. The status of the account shall be
				  provided to the applicant at regular intervals agreed to by the applicant. The
				  executive director shall request additional deposits if the initial deposit has
				  been exhausted. A final accounting shall be provided by the commission staff
				  after the commission's final decision on the application. If the final
				  accounting shows that the deposits exceed the actual costs incurred by the
				  commission, the difference shall be refunded to the applicant. If the actual
				  costs exceed the deposits, the applicant shall be billed for the
				  difference.
(b) Upon receiving the
				  commission's request for review of a proposed transmission corridor zone, a
				  city or county may request a fee, except as provided under subsection (d), to
				  cover the actual and added costs of review and the commission shall pay this
				  amount to the city or county, provided the city or county follows the
				  procedures set forth in section
				  1715.
(c) Alternatively, an applicant may establish
				  an account directly with a city or county seeking reimbursement and, through
				  the account, reimburse the city or county directly for its actual and added
				  costs of reviewing the applicant's proposed transmission corridor zone. In any
				  case, an applicant shall be allowed to review any invoice submitted by a city
				  or county for reimbursement.
(d) A
				  city or county participating as a formal intervenor to a designation proceeding
				  shall not be eligible for reimbursement under this section.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  With respect to an application for designation or a motion by the commission to
				  designate a transmission corridor zone, any party, i.e., staff, applicant, and
				  intervenors, may request from another party such information as is reasonably
				  available to the party being requested and is relevant to the proceeding or
				  reasonably necessary to complete an environmental report in accordance with the
				  California Environmental Quality Act and assess the need for the proposed
				  corridor and its conformance with the strategic plan. Requests for information
				  shall be based on the level of information that can reasonably be expected to
				  be available at the relatively early stage of designating a corridor for
				  planning purposes as compared to the later stage of permitting a specific
				  transmission project. Section
				  1716 shall govern the exchange of
				  requests for information and responses, objections to a request, and petitions
				  for an order to compel a response. All requests for information shall be
				  submitted no later than 180 days from the date the application is determined to
				  be complete, unless the committee allows a later date for good cause
				  shown.
(b) In formulating its
				  requests for information from the applicant or other sources, the staff shall
				  confer with interested agencies, the Native American Heritage Commission, and
				  California Native American tribal governments regarding the information they
				  believe the applicant or a relevant source should provide for the staff's
				  environmental assessment of the proposed designation.

				  conduct one or more informational hearings in the county or counties in which
				  the proposed transmission corridor would be located.
(b) The assigned committee shall arrange for
				  public notice of the informational hearings to be published no later than 10
				  days in advance of the initial hearing. The notice shall request all interested
				  governmental entities and members of the public, particularly owners of
				  property within or adjacent to the proposed transmission corridor zone, to
				  provide comments on the suitability of the proposed transmission corridor zone
				  with respect to environmental, public health and safety, land use, economic,
				  and transmission-system impacts or other relevant factors on which they may
				  have expertise.
(c) The purpose of
				  the informational hearings shall be to do all of the following:
(1) In a presentation by the applicant, or by
				  the staff in a case initiated by the commission's motion, provide information
				  and answer questions to explain the transmission corridor zone that is being
				  proposed for designation;
(2)
				  Explain the commission's designation process, the staff's role in preparing an
				  environmental report, the opportunities for public and agency participation,
				  and any other matter that informs the public about the designation process and
				  its purpose.
(3) Explain the
				  state's needs and long-term planning objectives in the applicable Strategic
				  Plan and the Plan's relevance to the transmission corridor zone being proposed
				  for designation;
(4) Serve as a
				  scoping meeting for the environmental review of the proposed transmission
				  corridor zone by receiving comments on its suitability with respect to
				  environmental, public health and safety, land use, economic, and
				  transmission-system impacts and other relevant factors on which a governmental
				  entity or an interested person may have expertise; and
(5) Solicit factual information,
				  recommendations, and suggestions on reasonable alternatives that could avoid or
				  mitigate potentially significant environmental impacts associated with the
				  proposed transmission corridor. An alternative shall be considered reasonable
				  if it meets one or more of the state's needs and objectives that the proposed
				  corridor for designation proposes to meet in accordance with the applicable
				  Strategic Plan, is feasible as that term is defined in section
				  1201(i), and
				  offers a way to mitigate or avoid one or more potentially significant
				  environmental impacts associated with the proposed transmission
				  corridor.
