OPINION FURTHER EXTENDING CERTAIN

MONTHLY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

1. Summary

In Decision (D.) 00-12-036, the Commission extended two reporting requirements that the utility distribution companies (UDCs) are to make to the Commission's Energy Division. These reports contain information about: (1) direct access implementation activities; and (2) which entities are installing direct access meters and which entities are providing electricity billing services. D.00-12-036 provides that these reporting requirements are to terminate with the reports ending for the month of September 30, 2002, unless further extended by the Commission.

Today's decision extends the reporting requirement for these two monthly reports for two additional years, i.e., through the month ending September 30, 2004, unless further extended by the Commission.
