6. Comments on Draft Decision

The draft decision of the ALJ in this matter was mailed to the parties in accordance with Pub. Util. Code § 311(g)(2) and Rule 77.7 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. SDG&E and SoCalGas, as the only active parties, requested a shortened comment period whereby comments would be due within seven days of the issuance of the draft decision and no reply comments would be filed. That request was granted, and TURN filed comments on September 23, 2003. No other party filed comments.

TURN proposed changes to correct the description of the pipeline that will be available for FIG service, under the terms of the Utilities' amended applications, and to specify certain content in the annual reports that the Utilities have agreed to file. Those changes are reasonable, uncontroversial and have been incorporated in this decision. Section 3 of the decision contains the corrected pipeline description and Ordering Paragraph 7 specifies the contents of the annual reports.
