IX. Comments on Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of the ALJ in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Pub. Util. Code § 311(d) and Rule 77.1 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure. Comments were filed by PG&E and ORA. All comments were considered. PG&E raises a few points that should be addressed.

After this matter was submitted, the Commission approved an offset to the nuclear decommissioning revenue requirement of approximately $10 million (Resolution E-3823). PG&E asks that the offset, and the revenue requirement change adopted herein, be implemented in Investigation (I.) 02-04-026. We expect to be addressing PG&E's revenue requirement in I.02-04-026, the Commission's investigation into PG&E's bankruptcy. Therefore, we will address implementation of the revenue requirements adopted herein, and in Resolution E-3823, in I.02-04-026.

PG&E will need to request a revised Schedule of Ruling Amounts from the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in order to implement this decision. To facilitate obtaining a favorable ruling from the IRS, PG&E asks that tables showing the results of operations, assumptions, and fund disbursements adopted herein be included in this decision. The request is reasonable, and we will grant it. The tables are included as Attachment A.
