54252
. (a) In accordance with Section 10013 of the Public Utilities
Code, prior to signing a proposed franchise, license, or service
agreement with a local agency, a privatizer shall apply to the
commission for a determination that the proposed privatization
project is not a public utility within the meaning of Section 216 of
the Public Utilities Code and is therefore exempt from commission
regulation. The application shall include such information as the
commission requires to make this determination, as well as any
information needed to comply with subdivisions (d) and (e) of Section
10013 of the Public Utilities Code.
(b) A local agency may contract with the commission for any
technical assistance deemed necessary to comply with Section 10013 of
the Public Utilities Code and shall reimburse the commission for
estimated reasonable costs. The local agency may charge the
privatizer a fee to pay these costs.
