   3. (3) Application Approval Process

      1. (A) The HD-HRI application must be approved by the Executive Officer before the station owner may generate HRI credits. HD-HRI applications will be evaluated for approval on a first come, first served basis.

         1. 1. If estimated potential HRI credits from all approved HD-HRI stations exceed 2.5 percent of deficits in the most recent quarter for which data is available, the Executive Officer will not approve additional HRI pathways for HD-HRI stations and will not accept additional applications until estimated potential HRI credits for approved HD-HRI stations are less than 2.5 percent of deficits.
         2. 2. If estimated potential HRI credits from an individual applicant's approved HD-HRI stations exceed 1 percent of deficits in the most recent quarter for which data is available, the Executive Officer will not approve additional HRI pathways for that applicant's HD-HRI stations and will not accept additional applications from that applicant until the applicant's estimated potential HRI credits for HD-HRI stations are less than 1 percent of deficits.

      2. (B) Estimated potential HRI credits for HD-HRI stations will be calculated using the following equation:

      3. (C) The estimated potential HRI credits for HD-HRI stations for an individual applicant will be calculated using the same equation as in subsection (B) above, where:

         

         means the estimated potential HRI credits from the applicant's approved HD-HRI stations;

         

         means the total HRI credits generated by the applicant's operational HD-HRI stations in the most recent quarter for which data is available;

         

         means the total HD-HRI capacity of the applicant's stations that were operational in the most recent quarter for which data is available; and

The Executive Officer will consider all the stations registered by an entity with a unique FEIN in the LRT-CBTS for calculating the company-wide weighted average CI and renewable content.

         1. 1. CI of 150 gCO₂e/MJ or less before January 1, 2030, and 90 gCO₂e/MJ or less thereafter, and

      8. (H) If the applicant fails to demonstrate station operability within 24 months of approval and if estimated potential HD-HRI credits from all approved FSEs exceed 2.5 percent of deficits in the most recent quarter for which data is available, the application will be canceled. The applicant may submit a new application for the same HD-HRI station the following quarter.

      3. (C) For a HD-FCI FSE available to the public that charges a fee for service, the site must use a public point of sale terminal that accepts all major credit and debit cards, and any fuel cards with which the site owner or designee has branded or partnered.
      4. (D) The FSEs at a fleet-owned shared HD-FCI charging site cannot be reserved for one HDV fleet for more than 12 hours each day. There is no limit on the length of reservations for FSEs at shared HD-FCI sites that are owned by third parties and designed for multi-fleet access so long as the site is shared and open to multiple fleets.
      5. (E) The FSE passed final inspection by the appropriate authority having jurisdiction and has a permit to operate.
      6. (F) The FSE owner has fully commissioned the FSE and has declared it fit to service heavy-duty vehicles.
      7. (G) The FSE registration must be completed pursuant to section 95483.2(b)(8) and the quantity of dispensed electricity must be reported as required in section 95491. The FSE must dispense electricity in a given quarter to generate FCI credits.
      8. (H) If the applicant fails to demonstrate FSE operability within 24 months of approval and if estimated potential FCI credits from all approved HD-FCI FSEs exceed 2.5 percent of deficits in the most recent quarter for which data is available, then FCI certification for the HD-FCI FSE will be canceled. The applicant can reapply for the same FSEs the following quarter.

      9. (I) The estimated cumulative value of FCI credits generated for the HD-FCI FSEs at a site in the prior quarter must be less than the difference between 1.5 times the initial capital expenditure of the charging site, including battery energy storage but not on-site generation, land, working capital, or off-site facilities, reported pursuant to section 95486.4(b)(6)(B)1. and the sum of total grant revenue or other external funding before the site is both approved and operational, pursuant to subsections 95486.4(b)(6)(B)5. and 6., in the prior quarter.

         1. 1. The estimated value of FCI credits, for the purpose of this determination, shall be calculated using the number of FCI credits generated for the HD-FCI FSE in the quarter and the average LCFS credit price for that quarter published on the LCFS website.
         2. 2. The estimated value calculated under this provision will be made available only to the respective reporting entity in LRT-CBTS and will not be published on the LCFS website.
         3. 3. This will not affect the reporting entity's ability to generate non-FCI LCFS credits for the electricity dispensed at the FSE.

   5. (5) Calculation of FCI Credits. FCI credits for HD-FCI FSEs will be calculated using the following equation for each FSE approved under this provision:

      

      where:

      

      is the carbon intensity benchmark for diesel for a given year as provided in section 95484(e);

      EER^diesel is the dimensionless Energy Economy Ratio for electricity relative to diesel as listed in Table 5;

      CI_FCI is the California average grid electricity carbon intensity as listed in Table 7-1;

      C_Elec is the conversion factor for electricity as listed in Table 4;

      

      is the FCI charging capacity (kWh/day) for the HD-FCI FSE;

      N is the number of days during the quarter;

      UT is the uptime multiplier which is the fraction of time that the HD-FCI FSE is available for charging during the quarter;

      Elec_disp is the quantity of electricity dispensed during the quarter (kWh);

      C is a factor used to convert credits to units of metric tons from gCO₂e and has the value of:

      

   6. (6) Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements. The following must be reported to the Executive Officer each quarter as set forth in section 95491 before credits will be issued to the LRT account associated with an approved FCI pathway.

      1. (A) FSE availability. This is the percentage of hours the FSE is available for charging during the quarter.

      2. (B) Cost and revenue data. Provide an annual account of the following costs borne and revenues received for the site. The cost and revenue account must be included in the annual report submitted pursuant to section 95491.

         1. 1. Total capital expenditures ($), including a breakdown of initial capital expenditure by equipment, labor, materials, and fees ($). Costs for land, working capital and off-site facilities are not included in the initial capital expenditure;
         2. 2. Total delivered cost ($) of electricity, including demand charges, and average delivered cost ($/kWh) for electricity;
         3. 3. Total maintenance costs ($);
         4. 4. Total land rental cost ($);
         5. 5. Total grant revenue or other external funding received towards capital expenditures ($);
         6. 6. Total grant revenue or other external funding received towards operational and maintenance expenditures ($);
         7. 7. Total revenue ($) received from sale of electricity and average retail price ($/kWh) for electricity sold;
         8. 8. Other operational expenditures ($).
