Sec. 923.13  Energy facility planning process.



    The management program must contain a planning process for energy

facilities designed to evaluate, to the extent practicable, the costs 

and benefits of proposed and alternative sites in terms of State and 

national interests as well as local concerns;

    (c) Articulation and identification of enforceable State policies, 

authorities and techniques for managing energy facilities and their 

impacts; and

    (d) Identification of how interested and affected public and private 

parties will be involved in the planning process.
