6. Coordination with Other State Agencies and Local Agencies

The Commission invites comments and encourages participation from governmental entities with interests related to the scope of this proceeding. These entities include the California Energy Commission, the California Air Resources Board, the CAISO, and local government organizations that are developing alternative fuel vehicle policies.

We invite comment from the California Air Resources Board on the proposed schedule for this proceeding, including whether certain aspects of the proceeding should be considered on an expedited schedule so as to coordinate with its own activities related to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard.

In addition, we invite comment from the California Energy Commission on aspects of this rulemaking including, but not limited to, relevant provisions of the AB 118 Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program.

Further, the Commission invites comments from local governments and related local government organizations to streamline the installation of residential, commercial, and public charging facilities and to identify any barriers related to municipal ordinances, duplicative permitting requirements, and electric contractor relationships with utilities to facilitate expedited residential EVSE installation.
