Summary: On February 11, 2004, Tim McCallion, President-Pacific Region, Verizon California Inc. (Verizon), met with Lester Wong, advisor to Pres. Peevey, in San Francisco. McCallion reviewed the history that resulted in the Commission setting interim UNE rates for Verizon based upon UNE rates adopted by the New Jersey Commission (NJC). McCallion noted that the Commission did not examine the reasonableness of specific cost components that the NJC used in setting those rates. McCallion stated that, based upon a remand, the NJC is relooking at the depreciation and cost of capital utilized in computing Verizon New Jersey's UNE rates and that if the NJC makes changes to these critical cost components then fairness dictates that Verizon's interim UNE rates in California should be adjusted. | |

Pacific Gas and Electric Company, for review and recovery of costs recorded in the Electric Restructuring Costs Account for 1999 and forecast for 2000 and 2001. |
Summary: On February 11, 2004, Christopher Danforth of the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), met with Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, in San Francisco. Also present were Steve Linsey and Natalie Walsh, for ORA, and Regina DeAngelis, counsel for the ORA. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Walsh expressed ORA's position that no legal authority exists for PG&E's recovery of the electric restructuring costs and that the Commission, accordingly, could dispose of this application expeditiously, and without having to commit its limited staff to assessing the reasonableness of the requested expenses, by first considering the legal basis for the application. Linsey clarified the scope of the threshold legal issue presented by the proceeding as PG&E's right to recover electric restructuring costs as opposed to transition costs. Danforth addressed the extent to which PG&E seeks to recover the same costs in A00-07-013 as PG&E will recover through its Regulatory Asset in I02-04-026. | |
