F. Proposed Charter Provisions

The Safety Committee requests that the Commission authorize the following:

1. Changes in the nomination and appointment of Safety Committee members and the required qualifications for nominees in Paragraphs I.B.1 and I.B.3 of the Restated Charter, with consistent changes made in Paragraphs I.B.(2) and I.D.(1). (Source: D.04-05-055.)

2. Procedures to avoid conflicts of interest and comply with the Political Reform Act (Government Code Section 81000, et seq.), provided for in Paragraphs I.C.(1) and I.C.(2) of the Restated Charter. (Some of which originally were included in D.88-12-083, App. D.)

3. Paragraph I.C.(3), added to provide no person may serve as a member of the Safety Committee if he or she has a prior history of supporting or opposing PG&E as a witness or intervenor in nuclear licensing or CPUC proceedings associated with Diablo Canyon. (Source: a requirement of objectivity and independence as stated by the Commission's president in 1989 when the initial list of candidates were nominated for appointment to the Safety Committee.)

4. Paragraph II.D of the Restated Charter, addressing the protection of confidential information, amended to provide greater clarity.

5. Paragraph II.E.(1), addressing compensation for Safety Committee members, expanded to include details of members' compensation and procedures for adjusting such compensation, as implemented pursuant to Commission Resolutions E-3152 and E-3608.

6. Paragraph II.E.(2), which addresses the Safety Committee's annual budget and its funding through PG&E rates, revised to reflect Resolution E-3152 and D.97-05-088.

7. Implementation of Public outreach by the safety Committee by adding a new Paragraph II.F to the Restated Charter. (Source: D.04-05-055.)

All of the requested changes are shown in Exhibit C to the application as a "red-line" version comparing the original charter to the proposed revised charter. We adopt Exhibit B to the application as the revised charter: it is a final version incorporating the red-line changes illustrated in Exhibit C and discussed herein.
