5. Service of OIR, Creation of Service List, and Subscription Service

We will serve this OIR on all telecommunications corporations including commercial mobile radio service providers and on the following:

· The service list in R.02-12-004; and

· Organizations listed in Attachment B.5

Such service of the OIR does not confer party status in this proceeding upon any person or entity, and does not result in that person or entity is being placed on the service list for this proceeding.

The Commission will create an official service list for this proceeding, which will be available at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/published/service_lists. We anticipate that the official service list will be posted before the first filing deadline in this proceeding. Before serving documents at any time during this proceeding, parties shall ensure they are using the most up-to-date official service list by checking the Commission's website prior to each service date.

While all telephone corporations may be bound by the outcome of this proceeding, only those who notify us that they wish to be on the service list will be accorded service by others until a final decision is issued.

If you want to participate in the Rulemaking or simply to monitor it, follow the procedures set forth below. To ensure you receive all documents, send your request within 20 days after the OIR is published. The Commission's Process Office will update the official service list on the Commission's website as necessary.

Within 20 days of the publication of this OIR, any person may ask to be added to the official service list. Send your request to the Process Office. You may use e-mail (Process_Office@cpuc.ca.gov) or letter (Process Office, California Public Utilities Commission, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102). Include the following information:

· Docket Number of this Investigation & Rulemaking;

· Name (and party represented, if applicable);

· Postal Address;

If you want to be added to the official service list as a non-party (that is, as State Service or Information Only), follow the instructions in Section 6.1. [NOTE: edit if the section number changes] above at any time.

5.1. Updating Information

Once you are on the official service list, you must ensure that the information you have provided is up-to-date. To change your postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, or the name of your representative, send the change to the Process Office by letter or e-mail, and send a copy to everyone on the official service list.

5.2. Serving and Filing Documents

When you serve a document, use the official service list published at the Commission's website as of the date of service. You must comply with Rules 1.9 and 1.10 when you serve a document to be filed with the Commission's Docket Office.

The Commission encourages electronic filing and e-mail service in this Rulemaking. You may find information about electronic filing at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/efiling. E-mail service is governed by Rule 1.10. If you use e-mail service, you must also provide a paper copy to the assigned Commissioner and ALJ. The electronic copy should be in Microsoft Word or Excel formats to the extent possible. The paper copy should be double-sided. E-mail service of documents must occur no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date that service is scheduled to occur.

If you have questions about the Commission's filing and service procedures, contact the Docket Office.

5.3. Subscription Service

This proceeding can also be monitored by subscribing in order to receive electronic copies of documents in this proceeding that are published on the Commission's website. There is no need to be on the service list in order to use the subscription service. Instructions for enrolling in the subscription service are available on the Commission's website at http://subscribecpuc.cpuc.ca.gov/.
