COMMENTS

Public necessity requires that the 30-day period for public review and comment established in Section 311(g) be reduced so that SDG&E's customers may make reasonable energy choices relating to matters described herein as soon as practicable. We have balanced the public interest in avoiding the possible harm to public welfare flowing from the delay in considering this resolution against the public interest in having the full 30-day period for review and comment as required by Rule 77.7(f)(9). We conclude that the former outweighs the latter. We conclude that failure to adopt a decision before the expiration of the 30-day review and comment period would cause significant harm to the public welfare. Accordingly, we reduce the comment period for this resolution.
