What is the process for inspecting and copying records?
Commission records, for the most part, are open and available to the public under the California Public Records Act (PRA). To begin this process submit an oral or written request to the Office of Chief Counsel. The Chief Counsel is the head lawyer of the Energy Commission. The request needs to specify in sufficient detail the requested record so that the record can be identified and located by an Energy Commission employee. Under Public Resources Code section 6253.1, the Energy Commission will help you in making a focused and effective request. What this means is that even if you are unsure of what exactly you are trying to locate, the Commission will help you refine your search. The Energy Commission typically has 10 days to respond to your request. In this response the Energy Commission will inform you whether the records you requested are available for inspection and copying.
