VIII. Service of This Order and
Service List for This Proceeding

A. Respondents and Service of This Order

Section 1.2 of GO 156 states that the GO is applicable to all gas, electric, and telephone utilities under the Commission's jurisdiction with gross annual revenues exceeding $25,000,000 and their Commission-regulated subsidiaries and affiliates. We list the utilities subject to GO 156 in Appendix B and make them respondents to this rulemaking. We direct that these utilities shall be served with this order.

This order should also be served on the services lists for Rulemaking (R.) 87-02-026 and R.93-09-026, which are the rulemaking which originally addressed GO 156 and the most recent proceeding where the Commission addressed GO 156 respectively.⁷

B. Service List

Being served with this order does not guarantee that you will be placed on the rulemaking's service list. Respondent utilities shall be placed on the service list by the Process Office.

Anyone else wishing to be placed on the service list for this rulemaking should submit his or her request within 20 days of the mailing date of this order to the Commission's Process Office, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California  94102. Parties should reference this rulemaking number and indicate whether they wish to be on the service list for this proceeding and, if so, if they wish to be an appearance, state service or information only. (An appearance means that the party will actively participate in this rulemaking by filing comments, etc. See description of state service and information only below.) These parties should also include their name, the name of their representative (if any), their address, and telephone and facsimile numbers, and an e-mail address, unless the party states that no e-mail address is available. A service list will then be prepared and posted on the Commission's web site at www.cpuc.ca.gov as soon as practicable. Requests to be included in the service list made more than 20 days of this order's mailing must be sent to and approved by the assigned ALJ.

Those persons employed by the State of California who are interested in this proceeding may be added to the "state service" section of the service list either by appearing at the prehearing conference and filling out an appearance form, or they may mail a written request to the Process Office within 20 days of this order's mailing. All of the names that appear on the state service list shall be served with all documents that parties may submit or file in connection with this proceeding.

Those persons who do not want to be parties, and only want notice of the hearings, rulings, proposed decisions, and decisions, may either appear at the prehearing conference and fill out an appearance form, or they may mail a written request to the Process Office requesting that they be added to the service list for information only.
