The clearence you are getting is the Minimum vectoring altitude from the controller. "Maintiain 3,000 until established on the localizer cleared ILS 30L".
So after you get positive indication on your localizer, you can descend to whatever it says on your plate.
I've always flown by the school of thought that you go as low as you can legally at that particular time. Whats the point of staying at 3,000 when you can goto 2,400 or the such?
