The commission has issued a new rulemaking, R. 00-02-003, to address CEQA
review for CLECs. Parties should file their responses to the following questions no later than March 15, 2000. 1. Is the Commission's existing practice for authorizing new CLECs adequate to comply with CEQA and to protect California's environmental resources? 2. Is the Commission's existing policy of allowing incumbent local exchange carriers and cellular carriers to construct new facilities without environmental review in compliance with CEQA? Does it promote adequate protection of California's environmental resources? 3. Do local authorities and other government agencies have adequate opportunities to protect local environmental resources under the current set of Commission practices and policies regarding incumbent local exchange carriers and CLECs? If not, how should this circumstance be remedied? 4. Does the Commission's existing practice for authorizing new CLECs create a competitive advantage or disadvantage for certain carriers? If so, how might those disparities be eliminated or reduced? 5. Is the Commission's existing practice for authorizing new long distance carriers adequate to comply with CEQA and to protect California's environmental resources? 6. Is the Commission's existing policy of allowing incumbent long distance carriers to construct new facilities without environmental review in compliance with CEQA? Does it promote adequate protection of California's environmental resources? 7. Do local authorities and other government agencies have adequate opportunities to protect local environmental resources under the current set of Commission practices and policies regarding long distance carriers? If not, how should this circumstance be remedied? 8. Does the Commission's existing practice for authorizing new long distance carriers create a competitive advantage or disadvantage for certain carriers?
