6. Parties and Service List

The Executive Director will serve copies of this rulemaking on the service list for this petition docket (petition service list), which shall constitute the initial, official service list for the rulemaking. The Executive Director shall also serve any other electric corporations and/or natural gas corporations, not listed on the petition service list, that have master-meter customers. Within 30 days of the filing of this rulemaking, each utility should provide by direct mail notice of the rulemaking and information about how to participate to all of its MHP master-meter customers that, under any account, schedule or tariff, submeter electricity and/or natural gas to MHP tenants. Likewise, within 30 days of the filing of this rulemaking, each utility should provide all of its MHP master-meter customers with a form letter that each master-meter customer promptly should disseminate to its submeter customers and should post in conspicuous places within the MHP. The utilities should work jointly to develop, to the extent possible given differences in their systems and account nomenclature, a common draft notice and draft letter and should provide both to the Commission's Public Advisor no later than 20 days after the filing of this rulemaking, so as to permit timely review and approval.

The Commission's Process Office will publish the initial, official service list at the Commission's website (www.cpuc.ca.gov) and will update the list as necessary. All persons or entities on the petition service list will remain in the same category (party, state service or information only) for the rulemaking unless they contact the Commission's Process Office to request changes. Persons or entities that are not on the initial service list must contact the Process Office and ask to be added. The subsections immediately below describe how to contact the Process Office and what information to provide.

Within 30 days of the filing this rulemaking, any person or entity may ask to be added to the official service list. Send a written request to the Process Office by e-mail (Process_Office@cpuc.ca.gov) or letter (Process Office, California Public Utilities Commission, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA  94102) and include the following information:

· Docket Number of this Rulemaking;

· Name (and party represented, if applicable;)

· Postal Address;

· Telephone Number;

· E-mail Address; and

· Desired Status (Party, State Service, or Information Only--an entity that desires party status must designate a lead representative and all other representatives will listed as state service or information only, as appropriate).12

If you want to become a party after the first 30 days, you may do so by filing and serving timely comments in the rulemaking (Rule 1.4(a)(2) of the Rules), or by making an oral motion (Rule 1.4(a)(3)), or by filing a written motion (Rule 1.4(a)(4)). If you file a motion, you must also comply with Rule 1.4(b).

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 above.

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.

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 of the Rules when you serve a document to be filed with the Commission's Docket Office. All parties must serve by e-mail any person on the official service list (whether Party, State Service, or Information Only) who has provided an e-mail address.

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 (Docket_Office@cpuc.ca.gov).

If you do not want to actively participate but want to follow events and filings as they occur, choose "State Service" status if you are an employee of the State of California; otherwise, choose "Information Only" status.
