* 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.
