7. Ex Parte Communications
This ratesetting proceeding is subject to Pub. Util. Code § 1701.3(c), which prohibits ex parte communications unless certain requirements are met (see also, Rule 7(c)). An ex parte communication is defined as "any oral or written communication between a decisionmaker and a person with an interest in a matter before the commission concerning substantive, but not procedural issues, that does not occur in a public hearing, workshop, or other public proceeding, or on the official record of the proceeding on the matter." (Pub. Util. Code § 1701.1(c))(4).) Commission rules further define the terms "decisionmaker" and "interested person" and only off-the-record communications between these two entities are "ex parte communications."7
By law, oral ex parte communications may be permitted by any commissioner if all interested parties are invited and given not less than three business days' notice. If such a meeting is granted to any individual party, all other parties must be granted individual ex parte meetings of a substantially equal period of time and shall be sent a notice at the time the individual request is granted. Written ex parte communications may be permitted provided that copies of the communication are transmitted to all parties on the same day. (Pub. Util. Code § 1701.3(c); Rule 7(c).) In addition to complying with all of the above requirements, parties must report ex parte communications as specified in Rule 7.1.
Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that:
1. The Commission institutes this rulemaking on its own motion to continue its efforts to ensure reliable and cost-effective electricity supply in California through refinement and further development of its adopted program of resource adequacy requirements.
2. The load-serving entities named in Appendix A are respondents to this proceeding.
3. This is the successor proceeding to the Commission's procurement rulemaking, R.04-04-003, as to resource adequacy requirements. The record developed in that proceeding as to resource adequacy requirements is fully available for consideration in this proceeding.
4. The Executive Director shall cause this Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) to be served on Respondents, the California Energy Commission, the California Independent System Operator, municipal utilities listed in Appendix B and all parties to R.04-04-003.
5. Within 20 days from the date of mailing of this order, any person or representative of an entity interested in monitoring or participating in this rulemaking shall send a request to the Commission's Process Office, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California, 94102 (or ALJ_Process@cpuc.ca.gov) asking that his or her name be placed on the official service list for this proceeding. Parties shall also appear at the first prehearing conference (PHC) in order to enter an appearance in the proceeding.
6. The category of this rulemaking is preliminarily determined to be "ratesetting." Any person who objects to the preliminary categorization of this rulemaking as "ratesetting" shall state its objections in its PHC Statement. Any person who takes the position that evidentiary hearings are necessary shall so state in its PHC Statement along with the grounds for such position.
7. Respondents shall, and other parties may, file comments on the issues identified in the OIR in their prehearing conference statements which are due January 13, 2006. Subsequent filings or testimony shall be submitted in accordance with the schedule developed at the first PHC, or in a subsequent ruling, as applicable.
8. The Assigned Commissioner or the ALJ may make any revisions to the scheduling determinations made herein as necessary to facilitate the efficient management of the proceeding.
This order is effective today.
Dated December 15, 2005, at San Francisco, California.
