Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The notice to
				  governmental entities, including California Native American tribes, referred to
				  in subsection (b) of section
				  2324 shall also serve to request
				  information about their land use plans, existing land uses, and other matters
				  in which they have expertise or interest with respect to the proposed
				  transmission corridor or an alternative corridor. All requested information
				  shall be provided within 30 days of the date the notice is sent, unless a later
				  time is requested by a governmental entity and agreed to by the
				  staff.
(b) Upon receipt of
				  information in response to the request under subsection (a), the staff shall
				  use the information to confer as needed throughout the proceeding with
				  interested governmental agencies and tribal governments to discuss their land
				  use plans, areas of expertise, concerns, and recommendations with respect to
				  the proposed transmission corridor or an alternative.
(c) Any person may file a petition to
				  intervene under section
				  1211.7 in a designation
				  proceeding, but must file the petition no later than 15 days after the staff
				  issues the draft environmental report. The petitioner shall also serve the
				  petition upon the applicant. The presiding member may grant a petition to
				  intervene filed after the deadline only upon a showing of good cause by the
				  petitioner. A person whose petition is granted shall have all the rights and
				  duties of a party under these regulations. Any person whose petition to
				  intervene has been denied by the presiding member may appeal the decision in
				  the manner provided by section
				  1211.7(e). Any
				  intervenor may withdraw from a proceeding by filing a notice to such effect
				  with the Docket Unit.
(d) A
				  petition to intervene, however, shall not be necessary for a person to
				  participate informally in any or all aspects of a designation proceeding. Any
				  person may participate by requesting to be notified of the proceeding's public
				  events, attending public workshops, hearings, and other publicly noticed
				  meetings, and offering oral and written comments on the proposed corridor,
				  environmental assessment, and other matters that are the subject of public
				  review.
(e) The rules governing ex
				  parte communications under section
				  1216 shall apply to proceedings
				  conducted under this article.
