Commission Order Instituting Investigation, on the Commission's Own Motion into monitoring performance of operations support systems |
Summary: AUGMENTATION REQUIRED. On July 25, 2001, Ed Kolto, Pacific Bell Telephone Company's General Attorney, met with Lester Wong, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas. Also present was Eric Batongbacal, PacBell's Executive Director-Regulatory. PacBell's representatives stated that a timely decision is critical to allow for implementation of the plan. PacBell's representatives asserted that no new mechanism should be introduced into the decision that was not subjected to due process during the workshops and subsequent filings. PacBell's representatives argued that the notion that exemplary performance should decrease the allowance for random variation is unfounded, unfair, and counter to the principles of a fair remedy plan. | |

Southern California Gas Company, for authority to implement a rate for peaking service as ordered by D.00-04-060 |
Summary: On July 23, 2001, Tom Beach, Watson Cogeneration Company's (Watson) expert witness, met with Trina Horner, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch, in San Francisco, and on July 25, 2001, Beach telephoned Trina Horner. At the meeting also present was Julie Halligan, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas. Written material (attached to the notice) was used. Referring to the revised proposed decision (PD) and the alternate, Beach stated that either order would represent major progress toward a peaking rate that does not serve as a barrier to new infrastructure. Beach stated that Watson prefers the peaking demand charge contained in the alternate. Beach noted that the demand charge structure proposed in the PD could result in two customers that have the same peaking usage on an annual basis paying very different peaking rates. Beach indicated that Watson could support a demand charge structure based on the customer's usage on both the summer and winter peak days, although he noted that this could be a problem for other electric generators that have a more pronounced summer peak in their gas use. Beach stated that Watson might be able to support having the customer select a daily contract quantity for firm peaking service. During the July 25, 2001 telephone conversation with Trina Horner, Beach confirmed that Watson could support having the customer select a daily contract quantity for firm peaking service. Beach urged the Commission to make clear that it would not re-visit the new peaking rate until actual experience has been gained. | |

Pacific Bell, for authority to categorize residence inside wire repair as a category III service |
Summary: On July 25, 2001, Laura Tudisco, staff counsel for the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), met with Jonathan Lakritz, advisor to Cmmr. Wood, and Cmmr. Brown, in two separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present was James Simmons, Public Utilities Regulatory Analyst for ORA. In the meeting with Cmmr. Brown also participated Robert Wullenjohn, advisor to Cmmr. Brown. Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. Referring to ORA's motion for a stay of decision 99-06-053 (motion) and petition to modify D99-06-053 (PM), ORA's representatives explained how, since the re-categorization of the WirePro insurance service to Category III, PacBell has raised rates 150% above the ceiling rate for the service. ORA also described how competition has failed to contain PacBell's price increases because there are no alternative providers of residential inside wire insurance. ORA stated that the PM asks to re-categorize PacBell's residential WirePro insurance plans to Category II and seeks reinstatement of a ceiling rate of $1.20. ORA explained that the purpose of its motion was to suspend the pricing flexibility granted PacBell for its residential WirePro services so that PacBell's subscribers would not be subjected to further unreasonable rate increases pending a decision on the PM. | |
