TITLE 5.

B UREAU FOR PRIVATE POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION UNAPPROVED ACTIVITY NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (hereafter Bureau) is proposing to take the action described in the Infor - mative Digest below, after considering all comments, objections, and recommendations regarding the pro - posed action. PUBLIC HEARING The Bureau has not scheduled a public hearing on this proposed action.

However, the Bureau will hold a hearing if it receives a written request for a public hearing from any interested person, or their autho - rized representative, no later than 15 days prior to the close of the written comment period. A hearing may be requested by making such request in writing ad - dressed to the individuals listed under “Contact Per - son” in this notice.

WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Written comments relevant to the action proposed, including those sent by mail, facsimile, or email to the addresses listed under “Contact Person” in this No - tice, must be received by the Bureau at its office no later than February 2, 2026 , or must be received by the Bureau at the hearing, should one be scheduled. AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority Cited: Sections 94877, 94936, and 94944, Education Code. References:

Section 149, Business and Professions Code; and Sections 94936, 94944, and 94949.8, Edu- cation Code. Pursuant to the authority vested by sections 94877, 94936, and 94944 of the Education Code (EDC), and to implement, interpret, or make specific EDC

section 94944, the Bureau is considering amending sections 75020 and 75030 of

Article 2 of

Chapter 5 of Division 7.5 of Title 5, of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) 1. 1 All references to the CCR are to Title 5. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Existing law requires the Bureau to proactively identify and take appropriate action against schools without proper approval by the Bureau, in accordance with the statutory mandate found in California Educa- tion Code (CEC)

Section 94877. CEC

Section 94944 grants the Bureau authority to issue citations, not to exceed $100,000, to persons operating an institution without proper approval to operate issued by the Bu- reau. In 2022, the Legislature passed Senate Bill (SB) 1433 (Chapter 544, Statutes of 2022), which expanded the authority of CEC

Section 94944 to establish that administrative citations issued pursuant to this

section are separate and not inclusive of fines for other viola - tions or refunds ordered. Over the last four fiscal years, the Bureau has issued citations to more than 80 institutions for unlicensed activity. These institutions range from those without any knowledge of the Bureau or its regulatory require- ments to institutions that held prior approval with the Bureau and have since flagrantly disregarded the Bu- reau’s authority, seeing the fine as merely “the cost of doing business.” Existing regulations found in

section 75020(

b) of the CCR refer to CEC

Section 94944 but do not establish specific, transparent, and identifiable factors the Bureau considers when issuing administra- tive citations stemming from unlicensed activity. The proposed regulatory changes provide clear - er guidelines for the assessment of fines, as existing laws and regulations offer little to clarify the fine as - sessment process. The proposed language outlines how aggravating and mitigating factors would be con- sidered when determining the fine amount. The fac - tors outlined align with how Bureau staff currently set fine levels based on the specific circumstances of each case.

This regulatory proposal aims to ensure that fines are issued in a fair and consistent manner, in a way that supports the predictability, clarity, and integ- rity of the orders to institutions, judges, the public, and other interested parties. Lastly and importantly, the proposed regulatory changes conform citation authority for unapproved activity with law changes enacted in 2022. Specifical- ly, SB 1433 clarified that the $100,000 maximum fine for the Bureau’s citations for unapproved institutions does not include the value of refunds ordered to be paid back to students.

By better aligning the Bureau’s regulatory lan - guage on unapproved activity citations with exist - ing law, and complementing standards already used in Disciplinary Guidelines and conditional registra- tion for out–of–state institutions, the Bureau will be able to have clearer enforcement standards for unap - proved institution violators, students, judges, and the

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 51–Z 1525 public. The Bureau has drafted the following proposal that would specify all of the following requirements in regulation to better align the language to existing law. This regulatory proposal will address the problems stated above by: 1) Amending

section 75020 of the CCR to: ● Re–organize the

section by removing lan - guage concerning the maximum fine amount ($100,000) and placing it into the next sec - tion (75030). 2) Amending

section 75030 of the CCR to: ● Re–organize the existing text by re–lettering Class A, B, C, and D violations into (a) (1)–(4). ● Add 75030(b) (1) to address citations issued for unapproved activity. ● Add subsection (b) (2) (A)–(

F) to establish the various aggravating and mitigating fac - tors the Bureau will consider when deter - mining an administrative fine amount for an unapproved institution. ● Add subsection (b) (3) to specify that “re - funds ordered” apply to students enrolled during the period of unapproved activity.

Anticipated Benefits of Proposal The Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education has determined that this regulatory proposal will have the following benefits to the health and welfare of California residents, worker safety, and the state’s environment: Institutions, students, and the Bureau will benefit from the proposed regulations, which aim to promote fairness in education and provide for openness and transparency in government.

Institutions, the Bureau, the Office of the Califor - nia Attorney General (AG) and Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) benefit from clearer enforcement stan - dards because the regulations will specify the aggra - vating and mitigating factors that may affect the fine amount. Institutions will be incentivized to comply with Bureau laws and regulations and conduct busi - ness legally rather than face administrative costs and a fine for unapproved activity. The Bureau, which is - sues the citation, benefits from clearly listing the fac - tors to consider when issuing a fine for unapproved activity.

The updated factors will also serve as an ed - ucational and guidance tool for the AG, and for the ALJs who administer hearings for the Bureau. ALJs will benefit from a greater understanding of the var - ious nuances of the Bureau’s enforcement provisions, which will help improve the consistency of penalties for violations of state law. Students benefit from the regulations because more students will attend Bureau–approved or Bureau–exempt schools as a result of the regulations.

When a student attends an unapproved institution, they are not granted the same rights and protections as students who attend an approved institution. These rights and protections include, but are not limited to, the disclosure of student rights, clear itemization of all charges on enrollment agreements, and access to the Student Tuition Recovery Fund (STRF) in the event of a school closure.

Students benefit from the regulations by including language that the administrative fine is separate from refunds ordered to students enrolled during the period of unapproved activity, to ensure that students receive appropriate restitution. Finally, should the institution come into compliance with the laws and regulations by obtaining approval, students benefit from knowing that their institution is one with state oversight, com - plies with the laws and regulations, is subject to in - spection, and upholds student rights.

Evaluation of Consistency and Compatibility with Existing State Regulations During the process of developing this regulatory proposal, the Bureau has conducted a search of any similar regulations on these topics and has concluded that these regulations are neither inconsistent nor in - compatible with existing state regulations. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE The proposed regulation does not incorporate any forms by reference. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THIS PROPOSED ACTION Mandate Imposed on Local Agencies or School Dis- tricts: None.

FISCAL IMPACT ESTIMATES Fiscal Impact on Public Agencies Including Costs or Savings to State Agencies or Costs/Savings in Federal Funding to the State: The proposed regulations do not result in a fiscal impact to the state. The Bureau does not anticipate additional workload or costs resulting from the proposed regulations. This proposal does not change the amount of the fine the Bureau may issue to an institution for an un - approved activity violation, so no additional revenues are anticipated.

This proposal provides a more accurate overview of the Bureau’s processes in formal disciplinary actions, which will provide greater clarity to licensees, con - sumers, the Bureau, the AG, and ALJs by outlining relevant and transparent standards directly related to violations outlined in law.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 51–Z 1526 The regulations do not result in costs or savings in federal funding to the state. Nondiscretionary Costs/Savings to Local Agen - cies: None. Cost to any Local Agency or School District for which Government Code Sections 17500–17630 Re- quire Reimbursement: None. Mandate Imposed on Local Agencies or School Districts: None. Significant Effect on Housing Costs (and, if appli- cable, including any estimated costs of compliance or potential benefits of a building standard): None.

BUSINESS IMPACT ESTIMATES The Bureau has made the initial determination that the proposed regulatory action would have no signif - icant statewide adverse economic impact directly af - fecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. The proposed regulatory action only impacts licens- ees and applicants who are disciplined by the Bureau for violations of the laws and regulations within its jurisdiction.

The proposed regulatory action only affects licens - ees and applicants who, through their conduct, subject themselves to disciplinary action for violations of the laws and regulations within the Bureau’s jurisdiction. Any “adverse economic impact” would only occur as the result of a disciplinary order following a for - mal administrative proceeding and a finding of fact affirming a violation of the laws or regulations within the Bureau’s jurisdiction.

Any potential “adverse eco- nomic impact” may be avoided simply by complying with the existing laws and regulations governing the professions regulated by the Bureau. This initial determination is based on the fact that the proposed regulations are intended to better align the Bureau’s regulatory language concerning unap - proved activity with existing law and regulations. Cost Impact on Representative Private Person or Business The Bureau is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would nec - essarily incur in reasonable compliance with the pro - posed action.

RESULTS OF ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS Impact on Jobs/Businesses The Bureau has determined that this regulatory pro- posal will not create or eliminate jobs in California; will not create or eliminate businesses in California; and will not affect the expansion of businesses cur - rently doing business within the state. This proposal would not have any of the above–referenced impacts as explained in the “Busi - ness Impact Estimates”

section of this notice. Business Reporting Requirements The regulatory action does not require businesses to file a report with the Bureau. Effect on Small Business The Bureau has determined that the proposed reg - ulations may affect small businesses. However, the proposed regulatory action only affects licensees and applicants who, through their conduct, subject them - selves to disciplinary action for violations of the laws and regulations within the Bureau’s jurisdiction.

Any potential “adverse economic impact” may be avoided simply by complying with the existing laws and regu- lations governing institutions regulated by the Bureau.

Benefits to the Health and Welfare of California Residents, Worker Safety, and the State’s Environment As stated above, the benefits of the regulation to the health and welfare of California residents by more clearly specifying the factors considered during un - approved activity enforcement efforts will benefit in - stitutions, because unapproved institutions will be in - centivized to comply with Bureau laws and regula - tions and conduct business legally rather than face ad- ministrative costs and a fine for unapproved activity.

The proposed regulations will help to ensure students attending private postsecondary educational institu - tions are attending institutions that are approved by the Bureau, and therefore are afforded all the rights and protections under the Bureau’s laws and regula - tions. The proposed language further aims to benefit students by clarifying statutory language that the ad - ministrative fine is separate from refunds ordered to students enrolled during the period of unapproved ac - tivity, to ensure that students receive appropriate res - titution.

Finally, the proposed regulations are not ex - pected to have an effect on worker safety or the state’s environment. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a) (13), the Bureau must deter - mine that no reasonable alternative it considered to the regulation or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would be more effective in car- rying out the purpose for which the action is proposed; would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposal described in this No- tice; or would be more cost–effective to affected pri - vate persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law. Any interested person may submit comments to the Bureau in writing relevant to the above determi -

TITLE 15.

BOARD OF STATE AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR JUVENILE FACILITIES Pursuant to the authority granted by Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) sections 210, 210.2, 875, and 885, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) hereby gives notice of the proposed regula - tory action(

s) described in this public notice. It is the intent of the BSCC to amend regulations contained in Title 15, Division 1,

Chapter 1, Subchapter 5, Califor- nia Code of Regulations (CCR), which is commonly known as the Minimum Standards for Juvenile Facil - ities, after considering all comments, objections, and recommendations regarding these regulations. PUBLIC HEARING The BSCC did not

schedule a public hearing on this proposed action. However, the BSCC will hold a hear- ing if it receives a written request for a public hearing

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 51–Z 1528 from any interested person, or their authorized repre - sentative, no later than 15 days before the close of the written comment period. WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested person, or their authorized represen- tative, may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulatory action to the BSCC. A written comment period has been established commencing on December 19, 2025, and closing on February 2, 2026. The BSCC will consider only com- ments received by the closing date.

Submit comments to: Board of State and Community Corrections Attention: Amanda Ferreira, Staff Services Manager I (Specialist) 2590 Venture Oaks Way, Suite 200 Sacramento, CA 95833 Phone: (916) 324–2878 | Fax: (916) 322–2461 Email: regulations@bscc.ca.gov POST–HEARING MODIFICATIONS TO THE TEXT OF THE REGULATIONS Following the public comment period, the BSCC may adopt the proposed regulations substantially as proposed in this notice or with modifications that are sufficiently related to the original proposed text and notice of proposed changes.

Any modifications made to the full text of the proposed regulations will be clearly indicated and made available to the public for at least 15 days prior to the date that the BSCC adopts, amends, or repeals the regulation(s). The BSCC will accept written comments on the modified regulation text during the 15–day period. Comments should be addressed to the primary contact person as provided above. NOTE: To be notified of any modifications, you must submit written/oral comments or request that you be notified of any modifications.

AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE WIC sections 210, 210.2, 875, and 885 authorizes the BSCC to establish minimum standards for juvenile facilities. The proposed regulations would implement, interpret, and make specific

section 209 of the WIC. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW This rulemaking action is a result of Assembly Bill (AB) 134 (Chapter 10, Statues of 2025), which amend- ed WIC

section 209, and it clarifies the BSCC’s re - sponsibility to conduct, “at a minimum,” a biennial in- spection of each juvenile facility and makes specific, minimum standards related to a corrective action plan (CAP) when a juvenile facility is found to be out of compliance with one or more of the minimum stan - dards for juvenile facilities set forth in Title 15 and Ti- tle 24 of the California Code of Regulations.

Summary of Existing Laws and Effect of the Proposed Action WIC sections 210, 210.2, 875, and 885, authorizes the BSCC to establish minimum standards for juve - nile facilities. The minimum standards include, but are not limited to, construction, operation, mainte - nance, qualifications and training of personnel, health and sanitary conditions, fire and life safety, security, rehabilitation programs, recreation, and treatment of youth confined in juvenile facilities. WIC

section 209 requires the BSCC to conduct, at a minimum, a bien - nial inspection of each juvenile facility and promptly notify the operator of the juvenile facility if it finds the juvenile facility out of compliance with one or more of the minimum standards for juvenile facilities. It also requires a juvenile facility to complete a CAP when the BSCC issues a notice of noncompliance and out - lines potential outcomes if a juvenile facility fails to submit an approved CAP or fails to correct items of noncompliance. Amendments made to WIC

section 209 authorizes the BSCC Board to delegate author - ity to approve or deny a CAP to the Board’s execu - tive director or deputy director, and if such authority is delegated, requires the delegee to approve or deny the CAP in accordance with criteria and considerations developed by the Board, and subsequently requires the Board to ratify or overrule the delegee’s decision The proposed adoption of

section 1315 to Title 15, Division 1,

Chapter 1, Subchapter 5 of the CCR would outline minimum standards related to a CAP in ac - cordance with the provisions of WIC

section 209, that became effective June 27, 2025.

The proposed regula- tions would specify requirements for a notice of non - compliance if a juvenile facility is found to be out of compliance with one or more of the minimum stan - dards for juvenile facilities; the CAP submission pro - cess, including timelines, documentation require - ments, and requests for technical assistance; the CAP review and approval process, including timelines and criteria for approval; requirements for a notice of un - suitability if a juvenile facility fails to submit an ap - proved CAP; the Board’s process and timeline to rati- fy or overrule a delegee’s decision to approve or deny a CAP; verification for compliance; and requirements for a notice of determination of suitability if a juvenile facility fails to remedy all items of noncompliance.

Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations The BSCC has determined that these proposed reg - ulations are not inconsistent or incompatible with ex -

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 51–Z 1529 isting regulations. After conducting a review for any regulations that would relate to or affect this area, the BSCC has concluded that these are the only regula - tions that address minimum standards for juvenile facilities. Comparable Federal Statute or Regulations There are no comparable federal regulations or statutes.

Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation The anticipated benefits from the proposed regula - tions are enhanced standards and uniformity in CAP completion by juvenile facilities, consistency in deter- mination of CAP approval or denial by the Board and their delegee, and clarity on the potential outcomes if a juvenile facility fails to comply with CAP re - quirements. These benefits support the mission of the BSCC to review, inspect, and promote legal and safe conditions in juvenile facilities.

The BSCC has determined that the state’s environ - ment will not be affected by the adoption of these reg- ulations because the regulations pertain to the mini - mum standards for juvenile facilities. Requirements of these regulations do not address any factors that would cause a positive or negative effect on the environment. DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The BSCC has made the following initial determinations: Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None.

Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. Other nondiscretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies: None. Costs or savings in federal funding to the state: None. Significant statewide adverse economic impact di - rectly affecting business, including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None.

Cost impacts on a representative private person or businesses: The BSCC is not aware of any cost im - pacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC I M PACT A NA LYSIS The BSCC concludes that it is unlikely that these regulations will (1) create new businesses or eliminate existing businesses within California, (2) create jobs or eliminate jobs within California, (3) affect the ex - pansion of businesses currently doing business within California; and (4) affect worker safety or the state’s environment.

The BSCC concludes that it is likely that these regulations will benefit the health and wel - fare of California residents, specifically, the health and welfare of youth and staff in juvenile facilities in a positive manner with the support of consistent CAP requirements. Significant effect on housing costs: None. Business Report Determination: None. Small Business Determination: The BSCC has con- cluded that the implementation of this action will not affect small businesses as these regulations only apply to juvenile facilities. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5, subdivision (a) (13), the BSCC must deter - mine that no reasonable alternative it considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The BSCC invites interested parties to present state- ments or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations during the written comment pe - riod or public hearing if one is requested. AVAILABILITY OF RULEMAKING DOCUMENTS The Rulemaking File, which includes all the in - formation on which this proposal is based, is avail - able for viewing by request at the BSCC’s office and may also be accessed through the BSCC’s website at http://www.bscc.ca.gov.

AVAILABILITY OF MODIFIED TEXT If the BSCC makes modifications that are sufficient- ly related to the originally proposed text, it will clear - ly indicate the changes and make the modified text available to the public for at least 15 days before the BSCC adopts the regulations as revised.

INFORMATIVE DIGEST AND POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW

Summary of existing laws and regulations: The CEC is mandated by statute to “conduct assess- ments and forecasts of all aspects of energy industry supply, production, transportation, delivery and distri- bution, demand, and prices” (PRC

section 25301(a)). These forecasting and assessment activities are devel- oped as part of the Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR) that is mandated every two years (PRC

section 25302). As part of this comprehensive energy assess - ment, the CEC conducts an electricity demand fore - cast, a natural gas demand forecast, a transportation energy demand forecast, and performs various ener - gy market assessments and tracking assessments that evaluate energy supply constraints, system perfor - mance, and progress towards policy goals (PRC sec - tions 25301(a); 25303(a) (2), (a) (5), and (a) (7); 25304(a), (c), (d), (f), and (g)). Pursuant to PRC

section 25216.5(d), the CEC “[s]erve[s] as a central repository within the state gov- ernment for the collection, storage, retrieval, and dis - semination of data and information on all forms of energy supply, demand, conservation, public safe - ty, research, and related subjects.” This responsibili - ty is further codified in PRC

section 25320(a), which directs the CEC to “manage a data collection sys - tem for obtaining information necessary to develop the policy reports and analyses required by sections 25301 to 25307, inclusive, the energy shortage con - tingency planning efforts in

Chapter 8 (commencing with

section 25700), and to support other duties of the commission.” Existing regulations provide natural gas supply and price information that describes the changes in inven - tory between different sources and hubs that hold that energy source. Currently, information is collected in monthly, quarterly, and annual time periods, but lacks the frequency needed to make high quality projections or analyze data granularly.

Effect of the proposed regulations: The proposed regulations will increase the report - ing frequency of several existing reporting require - ments to more frequent intervals, while also expand - ing the data collection to fuels that substitute for nat - ural gas that could displace current natural gas supply or impact the CEC’s ability to identify trends in gas consumption across different economic sectors.

Such projections are the analytical core of the IEPR, which serves two fundamental purposes: 1) to identi - fy actions needed to ensure the reliable operation of the state’s electricity, natural gas, and transportation energy supply systems; and 2) to develop recommen - dations to the Legislature and Governor’s office and assess progress toward meeting state energy goals. The CEC is proposing to implement data reporting re- quirements related to three separate data subject col - lection areas to ensure that it has access to sufficient information for its analytical mandates: 1.

Natural Gas Data Reporting and Analysis: ● Evaluate and understand the magnitude of these resources on the broader energy needs. ● Improve demand forecasts, particularly the peak demand load forecasts. ● Assess the need for future gas delivery infra- structure in light of changes to gas demand. ● Improve price forecasting. ● Improve assessments of gas system reliabil - ity. ● Track the success or failures of specific pol- icies and programs. 2.

Renewable Natural Gas and Hydrogen Data Re - porting and Analysis: ● Assess the role of hydrogen and renewable natural gas in the electric generation, indus - trial, transportation, and gas utility sectors particularly as California’s energy system transitions to lower carbon fuels. ● Better understand the types and quantities of feedstocks used to produce hydrogen and renewable natural gas. ● Better understand costs and available quan - tities of renewable natural gas and hydrogen to be used as a substitute for natural gas.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 51–Z 1532 This includes understanding the cost of the fuels themselves along with the costs of the delivery infrastructure for these fuels, as well as tracking the success or failures of specific policies and programs. 3. Metered Electricity Use Data Reporting and Analysis: ● Changes to the specification of the regulato- ry language to better match the information- al structure that utilities provide to the CEC.

Difference from existing comparable federal regulation or statute: The proposed regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing federal regulations or statutes. The proposed regulations adopt or amend re - quirements for consistency with existing federal regu- lations or statutes and other

definitions to ensure ease of reporting and consistency of reported information. Broad objectives of the regulations and the specific benefits anticipated by the proposed amendments: The proposed regulations will benefit: CEC energy analyses; the health, welfare, and safety of California residents; and the state’s environment by improving the breadth of data the CEC can use for its analysis.

Specifically, collection of natural gas and alternative fuel data will improve CEC’s modeling and analytical work and provide a better understanding of key energy supply and consumption trends that could significant - ly impact Load Serving Entities’ (LSE) short–term electricity procurement obligations, as well as inform long–term investment decisions related to the trans - mission and distribution systems made by California Independent System Operator (CAISO) and Utility Distribution Companies (UDCs).

Consistency or compatibility with existing state regulations: The CEC has determined that there are no existing comparable state regulations or statutes. Therefore, the CEC has determined that the proposed regulations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE None. MANDATED BY FEDERAL LAW OR REGULATIONS The proposed regulations are not mandated by fed - eral law or regulations. OTHER STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS The CEC is not aware of any other statutory require- ments that are relevant to the proposed regulations.

LOCAL MANDATE DETERMINATION The proposed regulations do not impose a mandate on local agencies or school districts that requires state reimbursement pursuant to Government Code Sec - tions 17500 et seq. FISCAL IMPACTS The CEC has made the following initial determinations: ● Cost or savings to any state agency: None. ● Cost to any local agency or school district that is required to be reimbursed pursuant to Govern - ment Code Sections 17500 et seq.: None. ● Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. ● Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None.

SIGNIFICANT STATEWIDE ADVERSE ECONOMIC IMPACT DIRECTLY AFFECTING BUSINESS, INCLUDING ABILITY TO COMPETE The CEC has made an initial determination that the proposed regulations will not have a significant, state- wide adverse economic impact directly affecting busi- ness, including the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states.

COST IMPACTS ON REPRESENTATIVE PERSON OR BUSINESS The CEC concludes that the proposed regula - tions will have minimal economic impact on report - ing businesses as the required information is already gathered by industry through normal business opera - tions and the only extra effort required by the regula - tions is to compile it in a report. As such, the annual per–business economic impact of the proposed regu - lation is $31,412 per business, or a total economic im- pact to all affected businesses of $14,575,168.

STATEMENT OF THE RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT The CEC concludes that: (1) the proposal will not create jobs within California, (2) the proposal will not eliminate jobs within California, (3) the propos - al will not create new businesses in California, (4) the

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2025, VOLUME NUMBER 51–Z 1533 proposal will not eliminate existing businesses with - in California, and (5) the proposal will not result in the expansion of businesses currently doing business within the state. The proposed regulations will benefit CEC ener - gy analyses, the health, welfare, and safety of Cali - fornia residents, and the state’s environment by im - proving the breadth of data used in CEC analyses.

Collection of natural gas and substituting alternative fuel data will reduce error in the CEC’s modeling and provide a better understanding of key energy supply and consumption trends that impact LSEs’ short–term electricity procurement obligations. It will also inform long–term investment decisions related to transmis - sion and distribution systems.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS As explained in detail above, the purpose of the reg- ulations is to implement reporting requirements that exist in statute, and it is necessary for the health, safe- ty, or welfare of the people of the state that the regula- tions apply to businesses. The CEC estimates that ap - proximately 464 businesses may be impacted by the regulations.

The proposed regulations consist of updates to the data collection regulations that assist the CEC in meeting its statutory and analytical responsibilities supporting the reliable operation of the state’s natu - ral gas, electrical, and alternative fuel supply systems and assessing progress in, and developing recommen- dations for, meeting state energy goals. Previous data collection regulations did not track new trends and the proposed changes to regulations will assist the CEC in analyzing new patterns of energy demand.

EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The proposed regulations will impact natural gas utilities and marketers, electricity utilities, hydrogen producers, and renewable natural gas producers. CEC staff estimates that there are no impacted businesses that are small businesses. The CEC reaches this con - clusion using the definition of small business con - tained in Government Code

section 11346.3, subdivi - sion (b) (4) (B), which defines a small business as one that is independently owned and operated, not domi - nant in its field of operation, and has fewer than 100 employees. None of the impacted businesses meet this definition. Rather, all impacted businesses are domi - nant in production of the energy source they produce, with many of them having 100 plus employees. As such, the CEC is not aware of any cost a small busi - ness would incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed regulations. SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON HOUSING COSTS None. ALTERNATIVES STATEMENT In accordance with Government Code

Section 11346.5, subsection (a) (13), the CEC must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the agen- cy, or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the agency, would be more effec - tive in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed; would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed regula - tion; or would be more cost–effective to affected pri - vate persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

No reasonable alternatives to the proposed regula - tion have been proposed that would lessen any adverse impact on small business or that would be less burden- some and equally effective in achieving the purposes of the regulation in a manner that achieves the purpos- es of the statute being implemented. The CEC considered two alternatives to the pro - posed regulations: Under alternative one, the CEC considered not up - dating the data collection regulations.

However, not updating the standards would not help attain Califor - nia’s climate and energy efficiency goals by denying the CEC information on the influences of new technol- ogies on the energy markets and systems and prevent accurate forecasting and analysis of climate and ener - gy efficiency policy. Under alternative two, the CEC considered estimat- ing energy information and creating simulated data to perform policy analysis and forecasting. In many cas - es, this estimated and simulated data has been used in past reports and analyses to complete CEC tasks.

Yet over the years, this type of information has been rou - tinely criticized as inaccurate and misleading, calling into question policy recommendations by the CEC. While the CEC continues to improve its data analysis techniques, it has concluded that best practice is to ob- tain point specific information where possible to avoid the accuracy challenges of simulated data and improve analysis when possible.

OEHHA is referring ethoprop to the Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC), the state’s qualified experts for carcinogenicity determi - nations under Proposition 65, for review for possible delisting. Regulations governing the listing of chem - icals under the authoritative bodies’ mechanism are published in Title 27, California Code of Regulations,

section 25306. When a chemical is no longer identified by the au- thoritative body as causing cancer and no other ad - ministrative basis for listing applies, the chemical is referred to the CIC 2. The CIC then determines wheth- er the chemical has been “clearly shown through sci - entifically valid testing according to generally accept- ed principles to cause cancer.” If the CIC makes such 1 The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, Health and Safety Code

section 25249.5 et seq. 2 Title 27, Cal. Code of Regs.,

section 25306(j). a determination, the chemical remains on the Proposi- tion 65 list. Otherwise, the chemical is removed from the list. Ethoprop was added to the Proposition 65 list un - der the authoritative bodies listing mechanism on Feb- ruary 27, 2001. The listing is based upon its classi - fication by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (US EPA, 1997 3) as a “likely” human carcin - ogen. In 2020, US EPA revised the classification of ethoprop to “suggestive evidence of carcinogenic po - tential” (US EPA, 2020 4).

This notice announces a data call–in giving the pub- lic an opportunity to provide information relevant to the assessment by the CIC of the carcinogenicity of ethoprop. Relevant information on ethoprop includes but is not limited to: ● Cancer bioassays. ● Cancer epidemiological studies. ● Studies related to cancer mechanisms and the key characteristics of carcinogens. ● Other pertinent studies on: ○ Pharmacokinetics. ○ Effects on biochemical and physiological processes, including findings in humans. The publication of this notice marks the start of a 45–day data call–in period, ending on Day, Febru- ary 2, 2026.

The information received during this pe - riod will be reviewed and considered by OEHHA as it prepares the cancer hazard identification materials on ethoprop. Hazard identification materials will be made avail - able to the public for comment prior to the CIC’s con- sideration on the evidence on the carcinogenicity of ethoprop. Public comments received on these materi - als are sent to the CIC for its consideration prior to the CIC meeting at which the chemical will be considered. The time, date, location, and agenda of the CIC meet - ing will be posted on OEHHA ’s website.

We encourage you to submit relevant informa- tion responsive to this request in electronic form, rather than in paper form.
