Emergency Rulemaking Process

The Emergency Rulemaking File of the Clean Energy Upgrade Financing Program (ABX1 14 Program) contains regulatory language and a Finding of Emergency which have not changed from the initial emergency regulations adopted effective May 4, 2012 (Office of Administrative Law (OAL) File No. 2012-0425-01E) and later amended effective July 16, 2012 (OAL File No. 2012-0706-01E) for a loan loss reserve program under the ABX1 14 Clean Energy Upgrade Financing Program. In addition, the Authority submitted an initial re-adoption of these regulations to the Office of Administrative Law for its consideration which became effective October 29, 2012, and a second re-adoption which became effective January 28, 2013.

The emergency regulations will be effective through April 29, 2013. CAEATFA will continue to proceed with the regular rulemaking process during this time, and plans to submit the required Certificate of Compliance prior to the expiration of the emergency regulations.
