after 02 August 2008, the project participant must inform a Host Party
DNA and/or the UNFCCC secretariat in writing of the commencement of the
project activity and of their intention to seek CDM status. Such notification
must be made within six months of the project activity start date and
shall contain the precise geographical location and a brief description
of the proposed project activity. Such notification is not necessary if
a PDD has been published for global stakeholder consultation or a new
methodology proposed to the Executive Board before the project activity
start date.
When validating a project
activity with a start date on or after 2 August 2008 DOEs shall ensure
by means of confirmation from the DNA or UNFCCC secretariat that such a
notification has been provided. If such a notification has not been
provided the DOE shall determine that the CDM was not seriously
considered in the decision to implement the project activity.
Additionally
for project activities for which a PDD has not been published for
global stakeholder consultation or a new methodology proposed or
request for revision of an approved methodology is requested, every
subsequent two years after the initial notification the project
participants shall inform the DNA and/or the UNFCCC secretariat of the
progress of the project activity.

NCDMA
Decision-February 2008
REPORT
The
Board noted that many proposed CDM project activities in the energy
sector in India seek to demonstrate additionality by means of
investment analysis applying a benchmark of 16%, which is based on
tariff orders published in accordance with the Central Electricity
Regulation Commission. The Board is concerned with the use of
this value as a benchmark for proposed CDM project activities, as this
value is used in tariff
determination for CDM projects and for non-CDM projects. Therefore the
Board is of the view that this value is not a suitable benchmark.
