Interagency Review Panel
The Interagency Review Panel (Panel) was established by LD 1786 An Act Regarding Energy Infrastructure, Public Law, Chapter 655 2010. The Panel was established to oversee the use of statutory corridors. The Panel is to carry out the following tasks:
- Identify an initial range of value for the use of state-owned land or assets within a statutory corridor. The initial range of value must be determined by a professional appraiser who meets certain qualifications.
- Establish and implement a regular process for soliciting, accepting and evaluating energy infrastructure proposals for use of a statutory corridor. As part of this process, the panel shall provide public notice of the availability of the statutory corridor for energy infrastructure development, a description of the type of development anticipated in the statutory corridor and the opportunity for potential developers to submit proposals for use of the statutory corridor.
- Evaluate and render a decision on energy infrastructure proposals for use of a statutory corridor.
- If a proposal is accepted, the panel may enter into negotiations with the potential developer who submitted the proposal regarding a long-term occupancy agreement with the State for the use of the statutory corridor.
