In 1982 the program was transferred to USA/Riptide, which later became Democratic Management Services. In 1994, it reverted to CAB. On January 1, 2004, Central Coast Energy Services, Inc separated from CAB. Funding is provided by a number of sources with the largest being the Federal Government through the State of California.
