Workshop Notice

September 26, 2002 9 am - 4 pm

California Public Utilities Commission Training Room 505 Van Ness Avenue San Francisco

The Telecommunications Division staff (staff) will conduct a workshop pursuant to Commission Decision (D.) 02-06-072 in Rulemaking 02-02-020. D.02-06-072 implemented the current acceptable 3% error rate for telephone connections made by predictive dialers (PDs) for which no agent or telemarketer is available to speak to the person called. By D.02-06-072 the Commission also established related, interim record-keeping requirements. The workshop will address: 1) further requirements for record-keeping on these PD connections; 2) methods for educating consumers about do-not-call registers and other means to discourage unwanted calls; 3) the feasibility of accomplishing the 1% acceptable error rate in PD use that is scheduled to become the new standard on January 1, 2003, and; 4) whether a revised acceptable error rate for PD use should be made effective January 1, 2003, or on some later date.
Within 20 days of the close of the workshop, staff will file and serve its workshop recommendations to the Commission. Comments on these recommendations may be filed and served by other parties 10 days thereafter. A workshop agenda is available by clicking here: http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUBLISHED/REPORT/18905.htm

Summary: AUGMENTATION REQUIRED. On August 27, 2002, Tim McCallion, President-Pacific Region of Verizon California Inc. (Verizon), met with Pres. Lynch in an all-party meeting in San Francisco. Also present were Tom Long, advisor to Pres. Lynch, Elaine Duncan, Vice President and General Counsel, for Verizon, and other attendees. McCallion argued that making Verizon's earnings subject to refund ends the incentives that are the basis for the New Regulatory Framework (NRF). Duncan stated that refunds of earnings were not permitted under NRF. McCallion stated that Verizon is extremely disappointed with the draft decision and requests that it be modified to remove the new Directory revenue adjustment, eliminate the penalty proceeding, and eliminate the subject to refund provision.
