2. Procedural Background

This proceeding was processed in two phases. Phase 1 addressed interruptible programs and curtailment priorities for Summer 2001. Phase 2 addressed these programs and priorities for the period after Summer 2001.

Phase 2 included the following issue:

"Should the bill limiter provision currently reflected in the interruptible program tariffs of Southern California Edison

Company terminate on March 31, 2002." (Phase 2 Scoping Memo and Ruling, September 21, 2001, Attachment A, Issue 1.3.)

We decided that the bill limiter should not terminate, but should continue in part. (D.02-04-060, mimeo, pages 24-31.)

By petition dated May 21, 2002, CIU and CLECA seek modification of D.02-04-060. Petitioners propose that the bill limiter be continued in whole, and suggest a specific funding mechanism. On June 3, 2002, SCE responded with conditional support. No other responses were received.
