5. Comments of Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Long 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. On March 14, 2011 Alco filed opening comments and on March 21, 2011 DRA filed reply comments. We agree with DRA that there were no material factual errors that would alter the outcome of the decision. Minor edits have been made that improve the clarity of the decision. To the extent Alco reargued its litigation position we have ignored those comments.
