Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15061, subd. (b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The legislation (AB 205) identifies and defines the types of resources that are eligible to participate in the program, and the order in which these resources should be dispatched, as well as the circumstances that trigger the use of these reserved resources. No discretion is conferred upon the CEC to define the program components. Instead, the CEC is directed to adopt guidelines to effectuate voluntary participation of energy customers into the program, and to establish procedures for incentive payments. See Memorandum Regarding Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act for Demand Side Grid Support Program Guidelines. Accordingly, the Guidelines are not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act because of the "common sense" exemption under section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations.
