3. Discussion

We are informed by Energy Division that the CAISO's work is taking longer than first anticipated, and the contracted work is necessarily delayed due to these unavoidable workflow issues faced by the CAISO. We are advised by Energy Division and Legal Division to modify D.06-10-050 so that consultant work billed in 2011 to complete the contracted work may be paid.

We do this by adopting the revised language shown in Appendix A. The revised language does not authorize an increase in the amount of funds allowed for this work. The total billable amount remains limited to $400,000 annually, for a total of approximately $1.6 million.

The Commission may modify its decisions after notice to parties, with opportunity to comment. (Pub. Util. Code Section 1708.) Parties were notified of the potential modification to D.06-10-050 by the filing and service of a proposed decision. Parties were provided the opportunity to comment on the proposed decision.

This proceeding was reopened for the limited purpose of considering necessary modifications to D.06-10-050. Having done that here, this proceeding is closed.
