IV. Comments on Draft Decision

The draft decision of ALJ Galvin in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Section 311(g)(1) of the Public Utilities Code and Rule 77.7 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure.

AT&T and WorldCom, Inc. filed comments and Greenlining Institute submitted a letter on the ALJ's draft decision. Pacific Bell filed comments and reply comments. AT&T, Pacific Bell, and Greenlining Institute are parties to the proceeding, as such their comments were carefully considered. Because WorldCom, Inc. is not a party to this proceeding, its comments were not considered. Only minor changes were made to the draft decision. Those changes were made to Finding of Fact Numbers 7 and 8 and are incorporated into this order.
