25299.51.4
. (a) On or before June 1, 2016, the board shall conduct
an analysis of whether the ranking criteria for the payment of claims
pursuant to Sections 25299.57 and 25299.58, with regard to owners
and operators of tanks that are small businesses, as specified in
subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section

claims based on the claimant's ability to pay for cleanup. The board
shall consider, but is not limited to consideration of, all of the
following factors in its analysis:
(1) Whether single location revenues or other factors should be
considered rather than aggregate affiliate income.
(2) Whether gallons of fuel throughput should be considered rather
than aggregate affiliate income.
(3) Whether other factors should be considered to ensure equitable
qualification under subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision
(b) of Section 25299.52.
(b) The board shall consult with stakeholders of the Underground
Storage Tank Cleanup Fund, including claimant and industry
representatives, when preparing the analysis required by this
section.
(c) The board shall coordinate with the State Board of
Equalization and the State Energy Resources Conservation and
Development Commission to obtain data collected by these agencies
that would be relevant to the conduct of the analysis required by
this section.
(d) Within 90 days after completing the analysis required by this
section, the board shall post the results on the board's Internet Web
site.
