2. Background

In Decision (D.) 08-11-031, the Commission approved the budgets for California's Large Investor Owned Utilities' (IOUs) Low Income Energy Efficiency (LIEE) and California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) programs for 2009 through 2011.

On November 6, 2009, Southern California Edison Company (SCE) filed a Petition to Modify D.08-11-031 (Petition) and requested that the Commission modify D.08-11-031, inter alia, to clarify the fund shifting guidelines set forth in Ordering Paragraph (OP) 85 therein.

On December 7, 2009, the Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) filed its response to the Petition. In relevant part, DRA agreed with and therefore supported SCE's request that the Commission clarify the fund shifting language contained in D.08-11-031.
