Decision REVISED DRAFT DECISION OF ALJ JONES (Mailed 7/18/2003)
BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Petition of The Greenlining Institute and Latino Issues Forum for a Commission Order Instituting Rulemaking to Amend General Order Number 77-K and to Adopt a Regulation Requiring Regulated Utilities and Their Holding Companies to Annually Disclose Their Diversity, Executive Compensation And Philanthropic Contributions Pursuant to California Public Utilities Code Section 1708.5. |

Order Instituting Rulemaking on the Commission's Own Motion to Amend General Order 77-K. |
Rulemaking _________ |
DECISION GRANTING, IN PART, PETITION OF THE GREENLINING INSTITUTE AND LATINO ISSUES FORUM AND ORDER INITIATING RULEMAKING TO AMEND GENERAL ORDER 77-K
Summary
This decision grants the Greenlining Institute/Latino Issues Forum's (Greenlining/LIF) petition for rulemaking to amend General Order 77-K (GO 77-K) to increase the compensation levels that trigger reporting under GO 77-K for utilities with operating revenues of $1 billion. We deny other aspects of Greenliing/LIF's petition because the general order already requires utilities to disclose compensation of employees, and Greenlining/LIF's request duplicates information available from other sources. Also, the information on the diversity of top executives and philanthropic contributions requested by Greenlining/LIF goes beyond the Commission's stated purpose in GO 77-K, namely to assist the Commission in setting rates.
In addition, we propose to exempt Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) and Nondominant Interexchange Carriers (NDIECs) from the provisions of GO 77-K.
