III. Procedural History
Notice of these two applications appeared in the Commission's Daily Calendar on November 16, 2005. The Commission preliminarily categorized them as ratesetting in Resolution ALJ 176-3162, dated November 18, 2005. The January 18, 2006 scoping ruling confirmed the categorization as ratesetting, and the need for hearings. The scoping ruling also consolidated the applications. Testimony was served by the Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA), the Federal Executive Agency (FEA), The Utility Reform Network (TURN), and Scott Fielder, a customer-intervenor, (Fielder). All parties served timely rebuttal and other supplemental testimony as allowed or required by the assigned Administrative Law Judge (ALJ). The two settlements were admitted as Exhibits 18 and 19 at evidentiary hearings.1 These settlements resolved all issues for Edison and SDG&E in A.05-11-008 and resolved all issues except those litigated by PG&E and Fielder in A.05-11-009. This decision adopts the proposed transcript corrections requested in PG&E's June 5, 2006 Motion to Propose Transcript Corrections. Parties filed Opening Briefs or Comments on the Settlements on June 23, 2006, and Replies on July 14, 2006. The record is composed of all documents that were filed and served on parties. It also includes all testimony and exhibits2 received at hearing.
1 Exs. 18 and 19 have been updated and replaced in the formal files to include signature attachments and other minor edits or corrections. As no party objected to these changes, the exhibits are received in the record as modified. Edison filed a further correction and clarification on August 31, 2006 which we used in this decision.
2 There were 110 exhibits received into evidence-many were large multi-chaptered documents sponsored by several witnesses.
