(a)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(a) 为了在项目启动时为低排放车辆项目提供充足支持,委员会应管理一个示范项目,该项目为燃料基础设施提供有限资金。该示范项目的基金支出不得超过二百五十万美元 ($2,500,000)。除了为有限数量的基础设施项目提供必要的财政援助外,基础设施示范项目的目的是评估为基础设施提供资金是否是公共资金的适当且具有成本效益的用途。
(b)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(b) 委员会应征集涉及燃料和电气化基础设施的示范项目申请,这些项目应与涵盖的车辆项目相关联,并符合项目目标,以实现平衡组合。委员会应与参与的地区协商,尽一切努力协调基础设施项目与涵盖的车辆项目,这些项目应代表各种燃料、技术和应用,并符合本章的规定。在项目实施之日或之后开始分发合格燃料的基础设施项目有资格获得该项目下的资金。委员会还可以将基础设施资金拨付给各地区,以征集申请并根据本节支出资金。委员会应对根据本款拨付的任何资金承担监督和报告责任。
(c)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(c) 根据该项目获得资助的任何燃料基础设施,均须经委员会和相关地区批准。委员会应与各地区协商,制定该项目下基础设施项目的资助指南和标准。
(d)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(d) 在主要设计用于分发合格燃料的场所购买和安装设备,有资格获得该项目下的资金。“合格燃料”包括除标准汽油或柴油之外的任何液体或气体燃料,这些燃料最终分发给在加利福尼亚州提供氮氧化物 (NOx) 减排的涵盖车辆,并且这些车辆是在项目实施之日或之后在加利福尼亚州投入运营的。
(e)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(e) 分发合格燃料的基础设施项目有资格从基础设施示范项目获得资金,一次性资助标准为每年分发每百万英热单位 (Btus) 合格燃料七美元 ($7)。无法证明足够的年度燃料吞吐量以获得十万美元 ($100,000) 奖励(即每年超过 14,280 百万英热单位)的项目不符合资助条件。然而,能够证明每年吞吐量超过 14,280 百万英热单位的项目,可以申请低于十万美元 ($100,000) 的资金。私人使用设施最高可获得四十万美元 ($400,000) 的奖励。公共使用或有限公共使用设施最高可获得六十万美元 ($600,000) 的奖励。可能需要共同出资才能获得相应的奖励金额。从基金中拨付的基础设施项目奖励(税后)不得超过基础设施项目的总成本减去任何其他适用的补助金或税收抵免。
(f)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(f) 分发合格燃料的基础设施项目应符合以下所有标准:
(1)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(f)(1) 提供由将使用该燃料的车辆所有者签署的文件,以证明预计在至少五年内分发可批准数量的合格燃料。
(2)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(f)(2) 设计应符合当前的行业标准、规范和任何适用的法规。
(3)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(f)(3) 如果燃料储存和分发设备的所有者将为非其拥有的车辆加油,则该所有者应提供一份或多份声明,由拟议的加油设备所有者和根据 (e) 款证明足够燃料吞吐量中提及的车辆所有者签署,以证明已就燃料价格达成双方满意的安排。如果加油设备的所有者和操作者将专门使用该设备为其自己的车辆加油,则无需提供有关燃料定价安排的文件。
(g)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(g) Infrastructure projects to dispense electricity to covered vehicles shall be eligible for funding from the Infrastructure Demonstration Program at the rate of a minimum of four thousand dollars ($4,000), up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per charger infrastructure charge port including installation for each qualifying charger. A “qualifying charger” is any charger that dispenses 4,000 kWh or more of energy per year, through each of one or more charging ports, into one or more covered vehicles that provide NO x reductions in California. Awards shall be based on a sliding scale of four thousand dollars
($4,000) to fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) per charger port for qualifying chargers that dispense between 4,000 kWh and 15,000 kWh of electricity per port. In order for the project to be eligible for funding, documentation shall be provided, signed by owners of the vehicles that will use the charger, to demonstrate that the claimed kilowatt hours of electricity are expected to be dispensed per year for a period of at least five years. Funding shall be limited to a maximum award of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) per business per location. Infrastructure project awards from the fund, net of taxes, shall not exceed the total cost of the infrastructure project less any other applicable grants or tax credits.
(h)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(h) The commission, in consultation with the state board and the districts, shall develop a simple, standardized application package for a project to be funded from the Infrastructure Demonstration Program. In addition to the
application form, an application package shall include a brief description of the program, the projects that are eligible for the funding that is available, the selection criteria and evaluation process, the documentation that is required, and who to contact for more information, as well as an example of the contract that an applicant will be required to execute before receiving a grant award. The application form shall require as much information as the commission determines is necessary to properly evaluate each project, but shall otherwise minimize the information required. An applicant shall not be required to calculate tons of emissions reduced or cost-effectiveness as part of the application. Application packages shall be finalized and published as soon as practicable.
(i)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(i) The commission shall make staff or technical support contractors available on an as-needed basis within available budgetary resources to assist project proponents to
address issues common to infrastructure projects eligible for funding. Those issues may involve permitting and safety requirements.
(j)CA 健康与安全 Code § 44284(j) As part of the annual program reports required pursuant to Section 44295, the commission shall report on the use of Infrastructure Demonstration Program funds. The commission shall report on facilities funded, how those facilities are supporting covered vehicle projects, fuel or electricity dispensed from each facility, and associated emissions reductions and cost-effectiveness. The commission shall calculate a total cost-effectiveness of NO x reductions from the vehicles that fuel at facilities funded from the Infrastructure Demonstration Program. This total cost-effectiveness shall include program funding provided to vehicles as well as funding provided from the Infrastructure Demonstration Program.
