Categorization and Need for Hearings

In Resolution ALJ-176-3283, dated October 20, 2011, the Commission preliminarily categorized this proceeding as ratesetting and preliminarily determined that hearings were not necessary. Based on the record, we conclude that a public hearing is not necessary; thus, the preliminary determinations in ALJ-176-3283 will not be altered.

This is an uncontested matter in which the decision grants the relief requested. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 311(g)(2) of the Public Utilities Code and Rule 14.6(c)(2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, the otherwise applicable 30-day period for public review and comment is waived.
