Order Instituting Rulemaking regarding the implementation of the suspension of direct access pursuant to Assembly Bill 1X and Decision 01-09-060.

Summary: On March 14, 2002, Leslie Katz, Regional Vice President of Sempra Energy (Sempra), met with Laura Krannawitter and Lynne McGhee, advisors to Cmmr. Duque, in San Francisco. Also present was Billy Blattner, CPUC Relations Administrator of Sempra. Katz stated that Sempra supports the Cmmr.

Katz explained that language in the alternate expressing the intent to impose exit fees or charges should read that such fees or charges will be designed so that direct access customers pay their fair share of Department of Water Resources costs.

Lynch in an all-party meeting in San Francisco. Also present were Aaron Johnson, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and other attendees. Mayer stated that MID is concerned about previous statements of Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Southern California Edison Company requesting that any California Department of Water Resources (CDWR) direct access exit fee also be extended to departing load customers, including electric customers served by irrigation districts. Mayer pointed out that the Commission has already decided this matter by the manner in which it defined energy service provider in the CDWR rate agreement decision. Mayer stated further that aside from that issue, MID has no position on the alternatives for suspension of direct access.

Order instituting rulemaking on the Commission's own motion to determine whether baseline allowances for residential usage of gas and electricity should be revised.

Summary: AUGMENTATION REQUIRED. On March 17, 2002, Matthew Freedman, attorney for The Utility Reform Network (TURN), attended an all-party meeting with Cmmrs. Wood and Brown in San Francisco. Also present were Lynn McGhee, advisor to Cmmr. Duque, Kevin Coughlan and Julie Fitch, advisors to Cmmr. Peevey, Aaron Johnson, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and representatives from all the major California utilities. Freedman urged the Commission to adopt the proposed decision with certain modifications. Freedman stated that the primary modification involves excluding the use of 2001 data from the updating of residential baseline allowances. Freedman also urged the Commission to set the baselines at the maximum amount permitted by statute. Furthermore, Freedman disputed Southern California Edison Company's contention that its federal court settlement with the Commission prohibits the Commission from changing baseline quantities absent a concurrent change in rates to eliminate any temporary revenue shortfall.

Summary: On March 15, 2002, Dan Carroll, counsel of the California Industrial Users intervenor group (CIU), attended an all-party meeting with Cmmr. Lynch in San Francisco. Also present was Aaron Johnson, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, and other attendees listed on the attachment to the notice. Carroll stated that The Utility Reform Network's constitutional arguments regarding the contract clause ignored the fact that in cases involving government-private contracts, the government treasury was at issue, which is what is also true with respect to retroactive suspension of direct access. Carroll explained that in cases where the government treasury is at issue, strict scrutiny is required. Carroll also registered CIU's opposition to Southern California Edison Company's (Edison) effort to implement Edison's Historical Procurement Charge issue into this proceeding.
