5. Categorization and Need for Hearings

In Resolution ALJ 176-3292, dated April 19, 2012, the Commission preliminarily categorized this application as ratesetting, and preliminarily determined that hearings were necessary. Although UCAN and DRA filed protests to the application, they did not request hearings. Furthermore, neither UCAN nor DRA protested SDG&E's June 6, 2012 amendment to its application. Given these developments, a public hearing is not necessary, and it is not necessary to disturb the preliminary category determination.
