1. Background

D.04-05-055 adopted distribution and generation revenue requirements in Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (PG&E) Test Year 2003 General Rate Case (GRC). Among the many issues resolved were those related to the Diablo Canyon Independent Safety Committee (DCISC). D.04-05-055 approved a Stipulation filed by PG&E, the Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), California Energy Commission (CEC), the DCISC, The Utility Reform Network (TURN), and San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace. The Stipulation provided that the DCISC would continue with its current responsibilities and funding through the year 2006. D.04-05-055 also granted, in part, a petition to modify D.88-12-083 by San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace.

This proceeding remains open for consideration of several issues, including compensation requests filed by other parties found eligible to claim intervenor compensation.
