5. Schedule
We direct the ALJ to schedule a PHC to occur as soon as practicable after the proposals for local RAR are submitted as directed in D.05-10-042.6 At that PHC, the parties should be prepared to discuss the issues addressed in this order, as well as any issues raised in their PHC statements filed in advance of the PHC, including their proposed schedules and critical-path timetables.
The preliminary schedule for local resource adequacy is set forth below. Subject to further determination by the Assigned Commissioner and the ALJ, other issues in this proceeding may be considered according to this schedule to the extent that such consideration does not interfere with timely consideration and resolution of local RAR. This schedule will be discussed at, and further refined following, the PHC. Similarly, the schedule for consideration of issues not addressed according to the schedule for local RAR will be taken up at the PHC. This proceeding will conform to the statutory case management deadline for ratesetting matters, set forth in Pub. Util. Code § 1701.5, and the assigned Commissioner will provide more guidance on this point in the Scoping Memo to be issued following the PHC.

6 "To ensure that we are presented with a comprehensive proposal for implementation of a local RAR that can be timely implemented for 2007, we hereby direct the IOUs and authorize other parties to file such proposals in this or the successor RAR proceeding within 75 days of the date of this order." (D.05-10-042, p. 81.) This is the "successor proceeding" referenced in that decision, and such proposals should be filed in this docket, not in R.04-04-003. By letter dated December 8, 2005, the IOUs jointly requested a two-week extension of time to comply with the requirement. The Executive Director approved the extension.
