Workshop Notice -San Diego Gas and Electric A.08-12-021 Proposal on Proactive De-Energization Measures
April 8, 2009 |
Harrah's Rincon Casino and Resort |
SDG&E submitted Application 08-12-021 on December 22, 2008, requesting approval from the Commission to shut-off power to certain distribution and/or tie lines in limited high risk fire areas under certain extreme weather conditions. The application and testimony are available at:
http://www.sdge.com/regulatory/A08-12-021.shtml for public review.
The Commission has scheduled this Workshop to solicit comment from invited public safety agencies regarding the following issues: whether and how SDG&E's application affects public safety, and whether each decision by SDG&E to shut off power should be approved by a public agency, and if so which one and under what criteria, and whether use of backup generators when power is shut off should trigger fines from air quality entities, and finally whether a shut off of power under SDG&E's proposed program should constitute an emergency that permits reimbursement of school districts for average daily attendance.
Opportunity for elected officials and the public to comment will be made at the end of the public safety agency portion of the workshop.
Public Participation Hearings have been separately noticed in this Calendar.
Emailing of intention to attend this workshop to David Lee
(dkl@cpuc.ca.gov ) will assist planning; include name, title, and affiliation.
This location is wheelchair accessible. The workshop is open to the public. Questions and comments regarding the workshop should be directed to Brian Schumacher at
bds@cpuc.ca.gov, or 415-703-1226.
NOTICE OF DRAFT RESOLUTIONS
(Pursuant to PU Code § 311(g))
REVISED NOTICE OF DRAFT RESOLUTION (Revised as of 3/13/09)
The ALJ Division has prepared Resolution ALJ-224 to amend the Rules of Practice and Procedure (Title 20, Division 1, of the California Code of Regulations). The amendments update the Rules to reflect changes in the Commission's administration, provide consistency between the rules, and provide greater clarity. In addition, we codify rules for electronic filing of documents. Lastly, we amend Rule 14.6(c) regarding reduction or waiver of review of proposed decisions to correct an inadvertent error.
Notice of these proposed amendments was published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on January 2, 2009. In response to comments submitted on February 17, 2009, the modified draft resolution makes some non-substantial and substantial changes to the originally proposed amended rules. Comments on the changes to the originally proposed amended rules must be submitted by March 10, 2009, to:
Hallie Yacknin
Administrative Law Judge
505 Van Ness Avenue, Room 5005

Resolution ALJ-224 will be on the agenda at the Commission's March 26, 2009 meeting.
http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PUBLISHED/COMMENT_RESOLUTION/97716.htmhttp://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PUBLISHED/COMMENT_RESOLUTION/97716.htm
The ALJ Division has prepared Resolution ALJ-236 for the April 16, 2009 Commission Agenda. This resolution Affirms Citation FC-197 issued to Adriana Fortson & Benecia Toms, a Partnership dba Chris Moving Systems and Chris Moving Systems, Inc.
This Resolution resolves the appeal of Field Citation 197 (FC-197) issued to Adriana Fortson & Benecia Toms, a Partnership dba Chris Moving Systems and Chris Moving Systems, Inc. by the Commission's Consumer Protection and Safety Division (CPSD) on June 26, 2008. FC-197 was issued to Chris Moving Systems with a fine in the amount of $3,000 for 252 violations of the Public Utilities Code and Maximum Rate Tariff 4 (MAX 4) during the period October 1, 2007 through February 29, 2008. Specifically, FC-197 charges Chris Moving Systems of (1) operating as a corporation before obtaining the proper authority from the Commission in violation of Public Utilities Code Section 5133 (Section 5133) (30 counts), (2) hiring employees without first securing and filing evidence of Workers' Compensation Insurance coverage with the Commission in violation of Section 5135.5 (13 counts), (3) deficiencies on moving forms in violation of Sections 5139 and 5143 and MAX 4, Items 128, 130, 132, and 465 (182 counts), and (4) failure to give customers the "Important Information for Persons Moving Household Goods Booklet" and retaining the receipt for such booklet, in violation of Section 5143 and MAX 4, Item 88 (27 counts).
Based on the hearing record, we find that the above violations occurred and the level of fine imposed is reasonable based on the number and type of violations, and Chris Moving Systems compliance history. Therefore, we affirm FC-197 in full. We direct Chris Moving Systems to pay the $3,000 fine in full within 30 days of this resolution or to begin to make payments within 30 days based on an approved written payment plan with CPSD.
Finally, this resolution finds that evidence introduced at hearing related to the recent revocation of the partnership's Commission license for nonpayment of fees and problems with the corporation's license application are issues outside the scope of this appeal process. These issues will be separately addressed by CPSD, as discussed at hearing.
