* SCE, in Advice 1344-E, revised references in it Preliminary Statements to change the title of the |
|||||||||
PBR mechanism from Nongeneration PBR to Distribution PBR. This change, and the 1998 figures, | |||||||||
reflect that on April 1, 1998, the FERC assumed jurisdication over the portion of SCE's |

transmission system subject to operational control by the Calif. ISO. Financial performance |
|||||||||
for 1998 reflects operations for total T&D (nongeneration) from 1/1/98 to 3/31/98 and for the non-ISO | |||||||||
portion of T&D through 12/31/98. |
