5. Disposition of Proceedings

In approving the Proposed Settlement, we set in motion a series of steps that should lead to eventual closure of each of the captioned proceedings. However, under the terms of the Proposed Settlement, these actions include approval by the FERC of a waiver of the IOUs' obligations under Section 210(m) of PURPA following approval of the settlement by this commission as well as written support by the CARB. It is therefore premature to close the proceedings. Accordingly, the proceedings will remain open but, subject to the discretion of the assigned Commissioner or ALJs, held in abeyance at this time. When the conditions precedent to the settlement effective date have been met, Joint Parties should so inform the Commission by filing a motion(s) for closure of these proceedings.
