OPINION CORRECTING DECISION (D.) 06-11-019, ADDRESSING
REPORTING ISSUES RAISED BY PETITIONS FOR
MODIFICATION OF D.02-07-036 AND D.06-11-019, AND
ADDRESSING RELATED ISSUE DEFERRED BY D.07-05-061
1. Summary
We consolidate Application (A.) 01-06-029 and A.06-05-033 with the previously consolidated A.06-09-016/A.06-09-021 for this decision, only, in order to concurrently resolve a number of related, outstanding matters. We address Joint Petitioners' requests for revision of certain reporting requirements imposed on Wild Goose Storage Inc. (Wild Goose), its parent and affiliates by D.02-07-036 (which issued in Application (A.) 01-06-029) and by D.06-11-019 (which issued in A.06-05-033). Today's decision modifies some of the reporting requirements and as requested, restates them in a single set of ordering paragraphs.
With respect to the sole issue deferred by D.07-05-061 - extension to Carlyle/Riverstone Global Energy and Power Fund III, L.P. (Carlyle/Riverstone III) and an affiliated fund, Carlyle Partners IV, of the partial exemption from Pub. Util. Code § 8521 granted to Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (Goldman Sachs) and American International Group, Inc. (AIG) - today's decision determines that the issue is now moot. Carlyle/Riverstone III and Carlyle Partners IV have withdrawn their request that we extend the exemption to them at this time.
Finally, we follow the direction in D.07-05-061 to review the accuracy of certain language in D.06-11-019. Today's decision corrects a footnote and a finding of fact in D.06-11-019.
