1. RESOLUTION NO. ____________ - APPROVE REVOCABLE LICENSE NO.\n2022-10 WITH FENIX MARINE SERVICES, LTD. AND CENTER FOR\nTRANSPORTATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT, INC.\nSummary: Staff requests approval of Revocable License No. 2022-10 (License) with\nFenix Marine Services, Ltd. (Fenix) and its contractor, Center for Transportation and the\nEnvironment, Inc. (CTE), to use and access the backland area of Berth 301 for a duration\nof up to 24 months, to test a zero-emission hybrid hydrogen fuel cell/battery electric top\nhandler. License No. 2022-10 serves as the successor entitlement to Temporary Entry\nand Use Permit Nos. 1784 and 1835 (TEUPs), approved by the Board of Harbor\nCommissioners on January 14, 2021 and January 27, 2022, respectively, which expire\non February 17, 2023. Since these TEUPs were executed, the process utilized for short-\nterm revocable entitlement rights has been improved and updated, and the appropriate\nentitlement for this activity is now a Revocable License. Apart from providing extra time,\nthe material terms of Revocable License No. 2022-10 are identical in substance to the\nTEUPs. Additional time is required due to shipping delays of the top handler and a lack\nof hydrogen fuel supply. As noted in the staff report for the January 2022 Board action,\nthe planned demonstration project is funded under a grant from the California Air\nResources Board (CARB). The proposed successor License No. 2022-10 provides Fenix\nand CTE the necessary real estate entitlement to continue to undertake the\ndemonstration project.\nRecommendation: Board resolve to (1) find that the Director of Environmental\nManagement has determined that the proposed action is previously evaluated pursuant\nto the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and categorically\nexempt from the requirements of CEQA under Article II Section 2(i) and Article III Class\n1(14) of the Los Angeles City CEQA Guidelines; (2) approve Revocable License No.\n2022-10 with Fenix Marine Services, Ltd. and Center for Transportation and the\nEnvironment, Inc.; (3) authorize the Executive Director to execute and the Board\nSecretary to attest to the Revocable License; and (4) adopt Resolution\nNo.____________.\nCargo & Industrial Real Estate
