This proceeding is a successor to R.09-01-019. Therefore, we continue the service list from R.09-01-019. This includes the existing classification of each person or entity in the category of party, state service or information only. Persons or entities on the R.09-01-019 service list do not need to take any further action to be on the new service list in the same category in this proceeding.
Persons or entities who are not on the current service list but who wish to be added as a party may do so by filing comments on this OIR. (See Rule 1.4(a)(2)(ii).) The comments should specifically state in a clearly identified separate section of the document that the person or entity wishes to become a party.7 Persons may also request party status at the prehearing conference (PHC) (if one is held), or by the filing and service of a motion. (Rule 1.4(a)(3) and (4).) Persons who wish to be in the state service or information only category may do so by letter to the Process Office.
It is the responsibility of each person or entity to notify the Process Office of his or her current postal service mailing address, current electronic-mail address, and any changes or corrections. (Rule 1.9(e).) The Process Office may be reached via e-mail at: process_office@cpuc.ca.gov; or via mail at: Process Office, CPUC, State Office Building, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102. The service list will be posted on the Commission's web site, at www.cpuc.ca.gov. Parties must use the latest service list for service of each pleading over the course of this proceeding.
Commission practice is to allow only one person to formally represent each party. (See Request for Addition/Change to Official Service List.) At present, a few parties list more than one person. In those cases, parties should identify the lead representative and notify the ALJ within 10 days of the date this OIR is mailed of the name of the lead representative. The other persons will then be moved to the information only category.
Any person interested in participating in this rulemaking who is unfamiliar with the Commission's procedures should contact the Commission's Public Advisor in Los Angeles at (213) 576-7055 or toll free (866) 849-8391; or in San Francisco at (415) 703-2074, or (866) 849-8390 (toll free), or (866) 836-7825 (TTY - toll free) or (415) 703-5282 (TTY), or send an e-mail to public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov.
All formally filed documents must be filed with the Commission's Docket Office and served on the service list for the proceeding. Article 1 of the Rules contains the Commission's filing requirements.
Service of documents in this proceeding shall be made by electronic mail consistent with the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 1.9 and 1.10. In addition, a hard copy of all documents shall be mailed to the ALJ and Commissioner.
