7. Conclusion

For the reasons set forth above, we find that the SoCalGas GCIM should be continued as modified by the terms of the Settlement Agreement sponsored by SoCalGas, ORA and TURN. We further find that the Settlement Agreement is reasonable in light of the whole record, is consistent with the law, and is in the public interest. Accordingly, the joint motion for adoption of the Settlement Agreement is granted, provided the Settling Parties have no objection to a change in Year 9 and beyond to provide for an accepted variance of +5/-5 Bcf.
