8. Comments on Proposed Decision

The proposed decision of the ALJ in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Section 311 of the Public Utilities Code and comments were allowed under Rule 14.3 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. Bear Valley filed extensive comments and included an inappropriate "redline" version for the entire proposed decision. Rule 14.3 limits comments to a discussion of alleged errors and proposed corrections to the findings of fact and conclusions of law. We carefully considered only the refilled comments' discussion and reviewed the proposed changes to the findings of fact and conclusions of law. Changes and clarifications were made as appropriate to the decision.
