Draft Decision

Rule 77.7(f)(2) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure provides that the Commission may reduce or waive the 30-day period for public review and comment on a draft decision in an uncontested matter where the decision grants the relief requested. There are no objections or protests to SDG&E's petition. Accordingly, we reduce the 30-day period for review of and comment on the draft decision. No comments were filed, and we adopt the draft decision with out modification.

Findings of Fact

1. The proposed changes to the Schedule DR-TOU and Schedule DR-TOU-2 commodity rates will not impact the rates of any other rate schedule.

2. While the proposed rate changes are small, they are needed to correctly bill the commodity rates that were designed to collect the DWR revenue requirement.

3. The seasonal commodity billing determinants for Schedules DR-TOU and DR-TOU-2 can be calculated by using the same seasonal tiered billing determinant factors used to develop the seasonal billing determinants for residential non-TOU rates.

4. This is an uncontested matter in which the decision grants the relief requested.

Conclusions of Law

1. SDG&E's petition to modify D.01-09-059 to make corrections to Schedules DR-TOU and DR-TOU-2 should be granted.

2. The proposed rate changes should be made effective as soon as possible to avoid incorrect billing of DR-TOU and DR-TOU-2 customers.

3. This order should be effective today.
