NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,

            The Board of Directors authorizes CPB management to submit CPB’s general budget request for FY 2025, an interconnection system and infrastructure budget request for FY 2023, and a legislative request to OMB, provided that the legislative request to shift interconnection operational costs from the System Support fund to the separate interconnection and infrastructure appropriation shall be subject to the Board’s final review and authorization before its submission to Congress.
