4. Comments on Draft Decision

The ALJ's draft decision was issued on April 7, 2003, pursuant to Public Utilities Code Section 311(g). Pursuant to Rule 77.7(b) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure, parties were permitted to review and comment on the draft decision. Aglet was the only party to file comments, and no reply comments were filed.

Aglet proposes that we delete the ALJ's discussion of general ratemaking and the ALJ's proposed finding to the effect that this proceeding does not constitute general ratemaking. We have determined that inclusion of this material is not required to resolve SCE's request to establish a memorandum, account, and therefore we have deleted it as proposed. In so doing, we have not accepted or adopted Aglet's views or position on the topic of general ratemaking. We may revisit this issue at a later stage of this proceeding.
