Workshop Notice/Public Meeting

April 17, 2001
9 am - 4:30 pm

California Public Utilities Commission
505 Van Ness Avenue, Hearing Room A
(Corner of Van Ness and McAllister)
San Francisco

Recent events have raised concerns about the adequacy of the natural gas infrastructure in California to serve all gas demand in the state, both in the near-term and the long-term. To begin to address these concerns, the Commission's Energy Division has scheduled a workshop to gather information on and obtain analyses of the status of California's natural gas transmission and storage capacity, and the adequacy of that capacity to deliver gas to customers in California in the coming years. Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), and San Diego Gas and Electric Company have been requested to make available at this workshop appropriate personnel and data to address the status of the capacity their respective gas systems and the adequacy of those systems to meet gas demands of customers on their systems. Utilities should be prepared to address the current capability of their systems to meet gas demand, and to provide their analysis of the future adequacy of their systems to meet gas demand in the near-term (over the next year), mid-term (two to five years) and long-term (over five years).
The informational workshop is open to all interested parties and any member of the public. Representatives of interstate pipelines and natural gas storage fields are encouraged to attend. If other parties are interested in making short presentations, they may arrange to do so by contacting the Energy Division.
Questions regarding the workshop should be addressed to Richard Myers of the Energy Division (phone: (415) 703-1228; e-mail:
ram@cpuc.ca.gov)

NOTICE OF DRAFT RESOLUTIONS
(Pursuant to PU Code § 311(g))

Revised Draft Resolution Confirming Staff's Authority to Suspend the Effectiveness of Advice Letter Filings of Tariff Changes

A revised draft resolution (M-4801) by the Executive Division confirming staff's authority to suspend the effectiveness of advice letter filings of tariff changes will be on the April 19, 2001 Commission meeting agenda. This revised draft resolution also ratifies staff's suspension of advice letters prior to its effective date. The Commission may vote on this resolution at that time, or it may postpone a vote until later. When the Commission votes on M-4801, it may adopt all or part of it as written, amend or modify it, or set it aside and prepare a different resolution.

An initial draft resolution was circulated to all gas, electric, telephone, water, sewer system, pipeline, and heat utilities subject to General Order 96-A, pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 311(g) and Rule 77.7 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. Interested parties were permitted to file comments by January 29, 2001. Commenters were not required to serve their comments on the roughly 1,700 parties on the draft resolution service list, and no provision was made for the filing of reply comments. Rule 77.7 generally provides for the service of comments on all parties on a draft resolution service list, and for the filing of reply comments, except as "otherwise directed" by the Commission division issuing the draft resolution. Since the division issuing the draft resolution directed that comments need only be filed with the Commission, and not served on the 1,700 party service list, and made no provision for reply comments, the draft resolution was circulated for comments in accord with the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. In response to comments received, the draft resolution was substantially revised to provide additional guidance to staff regarding the circumstances in which advice letters should be suspended, to require notice of suspensions, and to explain in greater detail the timing of suspensions.

Southern California Edison Company, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Southern California Gas Company, and San Diego Gas & Electric Company requested in a March 20, 2001 letter to the Commission's Executive Director the opportunity to review the comments filed with the Commission and file reply comments, and the opportunity to review and comment upon the revised draft resolution. Although not required to do so by law or by the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, the division issuing the draft resolution believes it is in the public interest to post the comments received on the initial draft resolution, and the revised draft resolution, on the Commission's internet site, and to allow parties to file reply comments responding to previously filed comments, and/or to file comments on the revised draft resolution.

Interested parties may review comments filed on the initial draft resolution, and the revised draft resolution, at the Commission's internet site. Those without ready access to the internet may obtain a copy of the revised draft resolution from:

An original and 2 copies of reply comments, and comments on the revised draft resolution must be filed with the Legal Division by Thursday, April 6, 2001. Parties need not serve reply comments, or comments on the revised draft resolution on the entire Resolution M-4801 service list. Parties need only serve parties who filed comments on the initial draft resolution; provide a telephone number, and an e-mail address, if one is available, for posting on the Commission's internet site; and provide copies to all who request them. In accord with Rule 77.7 (c) and (d), reply comments shall be limited to identifying misrepresentations of law and fact contained in the comments of other parties. Comments shall focus on factual, legal or technical error in the revised draft resolution. Parties may review copies of comments at the Commission's San Francisco Offices during normal business hours.

Parties may file reply comments responding to comments filed on the revised draft resolution. An original and 2 copies of reply comments to comments on the revised draft resolution must be filed with the Legal Division by Thursday, April 12, 2001.
