Comments on Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of the Commissioner in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Section 311 of the Public Utilities Code and comments were allowed under Rule 14.3 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. Comments were filed on July 14, 2010, and reply comments were filed on July 19, 2010 by Verizon, TracFone, DRA, TURN and DisabRA. In response to comments and reply comments, this decision addresses questions by parties regarding the scope of any rulemaking issued as a result of this decision. To be clear, today's decision makes no specific determinations on scope. As noted by Verizon, scope will be addressed in the future rulemaking. Contrary to TracFone's suggestions in comments, this rulemaking makes no representations on the specific issues to be addressed in any future rulemaking. Similarly, while TURN and DisabRA seek further details now, such information will be forthcoming in the future rulemaking. DRA and others urged the Commission to promptly consider the issues, which we intend to do.
