All Commission actions are considered to be either adjudicatory or quasi-legislative. An adjudicatory action by the Commission affects specific rights or interests of an individual or business entity based on specific facts, such as the granting of a permit, the issuance of a cease and desist order, the issuance of a report to the California Energy Commission pursuant to California Government Code Section 66645(d), or Commission review of a federal consistency determination or certification. A quasi-legislative action generally applies to a given class or group of individuals or entities and usually takes the form of a Commission plan amendment, policy, or regulation.
