Pacific Bell accepts the correction for periods after April 1998. The costs incurred prior to May 1998 are exclusively interstate costs that are recovered through an FCC tariff. IEMR reports should be revised when subsequent information reveals the separations treatment used in the original report was incorrect. In addition, Pacific Bell should have deferred the costs as a regulatory asset. |

ORA generally concurs with Overland that these costs should be removed from the audit period. The Commission has established a mechanism to allow SBC Pacific to recover these costs through intrastate rates, beginning in 2001. Absent these adjustments, the Company could over-recover these costs from ratepayers. |

Parent "Excess" Executive Compensation Expense (IS) - 1) Removes identifiable portions of AMDOCs and Ameritech merger executive awards charged to Pacific Bell by the parent company. 2) Removes parent company executive compensation exceeding the inflation-adjustment CPUC limit for regulated recovery, including salaries, certain severance and post-retirement "consulting" fees and supplemental retirement income plan (SRIP) expense. |
D.86-01-026 established certain baseline requirements for regulated cost recovery of parent and affiliate costs. One of these requirements was that to be recoverable as a regulated cost, parent company charges must provide a "direct and primary benefit" to telephone company customers (p. 36). The executive awards charged to Pacific Bell were not caused by and did not benefit Pacific Bell. One was attributable to affiliate Ameritech and the other to affiliate AMDOCs. In addition, the salaries and severance amounts adjusted were amounts exceeding the inflation-adjustment limit for regulated recovery of executive compensation expense established in Decision 86-01-026 (p. 163) Finally, in addition to exceeding the CPUC compensation limit, the SRIP expense, limited to a few top executives, was charged to Pacific Bell, but a much greater amount of offsetting SRIP income (the funding for the plan) was retained by SBC. |

Pacific Bell's allocation of corporate legal cost increased dramatically after SBC took over PTG. Overland was unable to audit corporate legal costs because SBC did not maintain, or would not provide, information regarding the nature of most of the costs. The amounts adjusted were associated with specific cases handled by outside attorneys and were exceptions in which we had cost descriptions.

Non-regulated Tracking Code Direct Assignment Errors (IS) - Corrects the allocation of costs between regulated and non-regulated activities. |
Tracking codes were a primary tool used by Pacific Bell in allocating costs between regulated and non-regulated activities. During our review, we noted several instances in which tracking codes identified as non-regulated in nature were actually allocated on a different basis. By disregarding the true nature of the costs when allocating between regulated and non-regulated activities, Pacific Bell was in non-compliance with D.91-07-056 (Finding of Fact 11). |

National-Local Strategy Implementation (IS) - Corrects the allocation of costs associated with offering competitive local exchange services. |
D.91-07-056 (Finding of Fact 11) establishes a cost-attribution hierarchy beginning with direct assignment of costs when possible. Pacific Bell chose to jointly allocate the implementation costs of offering competitive local exchange service outside of the Pacific Bell franchise territory between regulated and non-regulated activities. However, a Pacific Bell affiliate is responsible for this initiative and should have been allocated all of these costs. |

Corporate advertising and sponsorship payments associated with the naming rights of Pacific Bell Park were charged to regulated activities. CPUC policy established in Decision 86-01-026 (p. 41) prohibits regulated expense recovery of these expenses. |

Cash Working Capital (RB) - Reduce cash working capital allowance to correct errors and to reflect audit adjusted expenses. |
Adjusts cash working capital allowance to correct 20 errors made in Pacific Bell's lead-lag studies and to reflect audit adjusted expenses. |
Concur with most of Overland's adjustments. Also note that Pacific Bell included non-cash items, such as depreciation expense, in CWC calculation, which results in overstatement of rate base. The CWC would be negative if the non-cash items were removed. ORA recommends that CWC instead be set equal to zero. The result is similar to the three-year average rate base effect presented by Overland, and greatly simplifies the IEMR process. |
The cash working capital allowance should be set equal to zero for IEMR purposes, the most reasonable option given the considerable doubt as to the accuracy or reasonableness of the utility's cash working capital calculations. |

Directly related to Phase 2A PBOP expense correction. Pacific Bell wrote-off PBOP regulatory asset in 1998. That write-off included the elimination of a large rate base credit. The Phase 2A PBOP correction reverses the expense impact of the write-off. This correction eliminates the rate base impact of the write-off.

Contrary to the cost attribution hierarchy adopted by the CPUC in D.91-07-056 (Finding of Fact 11), when correcting a depreciation expense error in December 1999, Pacific Bell employed current regulated / non-regulated allocation ratios which were not reflective of the actual ratios in use at the time when the errors were originally recorded. |

Pacific Bell's recorded plant balances include a jurisdictional adjustment for the capitalized portion of contributions it made to its PBOP trusts in 1989 and 1990, prior to the adoption of FAS 106. The proper FCC and CPUC basis accounting for the contributions was identical Therefore, there is no basis for the jurisdictional adjustment and it should be eliminated. Pacific Bell properly charged the contributions to expense for FCC purposes. Pacific Bell improperly accounted for contributions as prepaid PBOP assets for CPUC purposes. Pacific Bell's CPUC basis accounting violated CPUC accounting policy and was inconsistent with its accounting for similar contributions made to other PBOP trusts. |
