The Committee overseeing this proceeding is:

Senate Bill 1389 (Bowen and Sher, Chapter 568, Statutes of 2002) directed the California Energy Commission "...to conduct assessments and forecasts of energy supply, production, transportation, delivery, distribution, demands and prices." As part of this process, the Commission produces an Integrated Energy Policy Report every two years. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Commission is required to "...manage a data collection system for obtaining the information necessary to develop policy reports and analyses requried by [SB 1389]."

On October 19, 2005, the Commission established a new Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) to determine whether the existing data collection regulations should be amended or repealed, and whether new regulations should be adopted. This OIR is under the direction of the Commission's Energy Policy Report Committee. The Committee is developing the proposed amendments to the existing data collection regulations.
