7. Comments on Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Gamson 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 March 14, 2011 by SCE and PG&E and reply comments were filed on March 21, 2011 by DRA/TURN. Comments focused on benchmarking requirements. Parties agree that it is not possible to benchmark all commercial buildings in this portfolio period. We modify the proposed decision to require benchmarking of specified numbers of commercial buildings.

PG&E filed a motion on March 23, 2011 for leave to file corrections to comments on the proposed decision. DRA/TURN do not oppose PG&E's request. PG&E's motion is granted.
