Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 3, § 10506 - Continuation of Certification

(a) To continue certification, a certified operation shall annually pay the certification fees and submit the following information, as applicable, to the registered certifying agent:

(1) An updated OCal system plan that includes:

(A) A summary statement, supported by documentation, detailing any deviations from, changes to, modifications to, or other amendments made to the previous year's OCal system plan during the previous year; and

(B) Any additions or deletions to the previous year's OCal system plan, intended to be undertaken in the coming year, detailed pursuant to section 10201 of this chapter;

(2) Any additions to or deletions from the information required pursuant to section 10501 of this chapter;

(3) An update on the correction of minor non-compliances previously identified by the registered certifying agent as requiring correction for continued certification; and

(4) Other information as deemed necessary by the registered certifying agent to determine compliance with this chapter, including, but not limited to, additional information regarding the origin of inputs and evidence of correction of minor noncompliances.

(b) Following receipt of the information specified in paragraph (a) of this section, the registered certifying agent shall arrange and conduct an on-site inspection of the certified operation pursuant to section 10503 of this chapter, except when it is impossible for the registered certifying agent to conduct the annual on-site inspection following receipt of the certified operation's annual update of information. In such cases the registered certifying agent may allow continuation of certification and issue an updated certificate of OCal operation on the basis of the information submitted and the most recent on-site inspection conducted during the previous 12 months, provided that the annual on-site inspection, required pursuant to section 10503 of this chapter, is conducted within the first six months following the certified operation's scheduled date of annual update.

(c) If the registered certifying agent has reason to believe, based on the on-site inspection and a review of the information specified in section 10501 of this chapter, a certified operation is not complying with the requirements of this chapter, the registered certifying agent shall provide a written notification of non-compliance to the operation pursuant to section 10703(b) of this chapter.

(d) If the registered certifying agent determines the certified operation is in compliance with this chapter, the registered certifying agent shall issue an updated certificate of OCal operation pursuant to section 10504 of this chapter.
