Abstract:
Before January 1, 2022, the Department needs to certify the IDR entities, so the IDR process is available on January 1, 2022 and the regulated community needs to prepare for the January 1, 2022 applicability date. If normal clearance procedures are followed, this statutory deadline may be missed and the IDR process and other regulatory provisions will not be available with its accompany protections.
