3. Spending Caps for O&M and Capital Additions

The Decision "decline[s] to place a cap on O&M costs and capital additions." (Decision, at p. 4.) Nevertheless, the Decision contains an attachment, which states the annual amounts of the proposed spending cap and three paragraphs discussing the spending cap amounts. (Decision, at pp. 73-74.)

The Application claims the language in the Decision discussing the spending cap should be stricken to avoid confusion. The rehearing Application points out that there is no reason to explain a spending cap that is not adopted. We agree. The discussion of the spending cap on pages 73-74, and Attachment A will be deleted. New language will be added to discuss the decision to review these matters in subsequent proceedings.
