Procedural Considerations

The Commission in Resolution ALJ 176-3138 dated September 2, 2004 preliminarily categorized this as a ratesetting proceeding not expected to require hearings. There are no material facts in dispute, and there is no known opposition to granting the relief requested. We conclude that it is not necessary to disturb our preliminary determinations.

This is an uncontested matter in which the decision grants the relief requested. Accordingly, the requirement for a 30-day period for public review and comment is waived as permitted by Pub. Util. Code § 311(g)(2).
