8. Parties and Service List

This proceeding is a successor to R.06-05-027. Therefore, we continue the service list from R.06-05-027. This includes the existing classification of each person or entity in the category of party, state service or information only. Persons or entities on the R.06-05-027 service list do not need to take any further action to be on the new service list in the same category in this proceeding.

Persons or entities who are not on the current service list but who wish to be added as a party may do so by filing comments on this OIR. (See Rule 1.4(a)(2)(ii).) The comments should specifically state in a clearly identified separate section of the document that the person or entity wishes to be a party, stating necessary information (e.g., name, organization, address, phone, e-mail). Persons may also request party status at the PHC (if one is held), or by the filing and service of a motion. (Rule 1.4(a)(3) and (4).) Persons who wish to be in the state service or information only category may do so by letter to the Process Office.¹⁴

It is the responsibility of each person or entity to notify the Process Office of his or her current postal service mailing address, current electronic-mail address, and any changes or corrections. (Rule 1.9(e).) The Process Office may be reached via e-mail at: process_office@cpuc.ca.gov; or via mail at: Process Office, CPUC, State Office Building, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California, 94102. The service list will be posted on the Commission's web site, at www.cpuc.ca.gov. Parties must use the latest service list for service of each pleading over the course of this proceeding.

Any party interested in participating in this rulemaking who is unfamiliar with the Commission's procedures should contact the Commission's Public Advisor in Los Angeles at (213) 649-4782 or in San Francisco at (415) 703-7074, (866) 836-7875 (TTY - toll free) or (415) 703-5282 (TTY), or send an e-mail to public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov.

Electronic service of documents in Commission proceedings is governed by Rule 1.10. All participants are encouraged to use electronic service. In addition, a paper copy must be served on the ALJ. (Rule 1.10(d).)
