4. Change of Party to Settlement

As noted earlier, CforAT represents the interests of the disability community. CforAT is acting as the successor to DisabRA, which actively participated earlier in this proceeding. DisabRA is a party to the settlement agreement between SDG&E, SoCalGas, and various consumer groups, including DisabRA, that was approved by D.10-12-051.

By letter dated September 28, 2011, CforAT advised the ALJ that the parties to the settlement agreement had agreed to modify the settlement to add CforAT as a party to the settlement. This will enable CforAT to receive the reports described in the settlement and participate in regular discussions regarding implementation. Since CforAT has been granted party status and it is the successor to DisabRA in this proceeding, it is appropriate to recognize CforAT as a party to the settlement agreement.
