The Commission established that LTPPs would occur on a biennial basis in D.04-01-050, an approach adopted to ensure appropriate coordination with the CEC's IEPR proceeding.14
In the past few years, this Commission has encouraged the active participation of the CEC in its rulemaking endeavors on the decisionmaking side, rather than as party litigants. We invite the CEC to join us in this proceeding by continuing the collaborative approach that both agencies pursued in the development of procurement policy in R.05-12-013. The collaborative approach has been an effective tool to ensure that state agencies are able to communicate and effectuate their joint policy goals. At this point, we do not specify the details of the precise interagency working model that will prove to be most effective in this proceeding.
