XIII. Parties and Service List

In addition to the named Respondents, we will serve the OIR on parties to several proceedings: Rulemaking (R.) 04-04-003, our comprehensive proceeding on energy utility procurement activities subsequent to the California energy crisis; A.00-11-038, our proceeding to determine the state Department of Water Resources revenue requirement; R.01-09-001/I.01-09-002, our pending examination of the performance of the large NRF carriers; R.04-01-025, our proceeding to establish policies and rules to ensure reliable, long-term supplies of natural gas to California; and I.98-03-013, our investigation into water quality issues.

Anyone else wishing to be placed on the service list for this rulemaking should submit his or her request to the Commission's Process Office, 505 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, California 94102, or appear at a prehearing conference for this proceeding. 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.

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. 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.

Persons wishing to be on the service list 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.

We also intend to utilize the Electronic Service Protocols set forth in Appendix A to this OIR. Any party requiring paper service of documents in this proceeding should so note that requirement in their request to be added to the service list.
