Requests shall be limited to contracts executed on or after July 1, 2020, which on their face require additional information or justification to establish that the contracts meet the requirements of section 3204(d)(2)(C). For purposes of this section 3207(c)(5)(A), a contract includes both a contract that has been fully executed by the parties and a contract that has been fully negotiated by the contracting parties but not formally approved by the governing board of the POU, as may be necessary. Contracts that on their face meet the requirements of having reasonably consistent contracted-for quantities, no zero-cost early termination clauses, and defined output share or quantities of procurement and minimum pricing terms, as set forth in sections 3204(d)(2)(C)1.i.-iii., 3204 (d)(2)(C)2., and 3204 (d)(2)(C)3. respectively, shall not be eligible for voluntary early review.ii.

To the extent possible, the Executive Director, or their designee, shall issue the determination within ninety (90) days of submission of a complete request by the POU. Failure to meet the 90-day deadline does not constitute a determination that the contract qualifies as long-term.5. The Executive Director, or their designee, may request additional information from the POU, if necessary, to determine if the contract meets the requirements of section 3204(d)(2)(A)-(C).(B) Annual and compliance period review of long-term contract classification1.

The petition for reconsideration shall be filed and processed in a manner consistent with a request for investigation pursuant to sections 1231 - 1232.5. 1. If the long-term contract determination was made solely by staff under section 3207(c)(5)(B), the petition for reconsideration shall be filed with and processed by the Executive Director in a manner consistent with section 1232.2. If the long-term contract determination was made by the Executive Director, or their designee, under section 3207(c)(5)(A) or in conjunction with staff under section 3207(c)(5)(B), the petition for reconsideration shall be filed with the Executive Director, who shall submit the request to the Commission Chair for review in a manner consistent with section 1232.5.(d) The Commission shall verify a POU's procurement claims for each compliance period following the process in the RPS Guidelines.

Written notices issued pursuant to this subdivision may include e-mail or other written communications.(2) A POU may request an extension of time to submit the missing or correct report information or the missing report specified in the written notice issued by the Executive Director. Such a request for an extension of time must be received by the Commission no later than the date the missing or correct information or missing report is due to the Commission as specified in the Executive Director's written notice. The Executive Director shall act on a request for an extension of time within five business days after it is received by the Commission and may grant an extension of time of up to 30 calendar days from the date the missing or correct report information or missing report is due under the written notice if the Executive Director finds that there is good cause for an extension. The POU's initial failure to submit a complete and correct report shall not be deemed a separate violation under these regulations if the Commission receives the complete or correct report information or missing report by the date specified in the extension. In determining whether good cause exists for purposes of this subdivision, the Executive Director may consider, without limitation, the following factors: (A) Whether the POU was diligent in gathering the information necessary to submit a complete and correct report to the Commission and preparing the report for submission by the due date.(B) Whether there were circumstances beyond the control of the POU that prevented the POU from gathering and producing a complete and correct report to the Commission by the due date.(C) Whether the extension of time is likely to enable the POU to submit a complete and correct report by the extended due date.Cal.
