Procedural Context

SCE proposes that this proceeding be separated into two distinct phases: Phase 1, which covers the revenue requirement related testimony submitted with the application, and Phase 2, which covers yet-to-be-submitted testimony on marginal cost, marginal cost responsibility, revenue allocation and rate design. SCE should instead file a separate application for consideration of Phase 2 matters. This treatment is consistent with the Commission's legislative responsibilities under Public Utilities Code Section 1701.5.

For the reasons stated in SCE's application, this proceeding will not address demand side management cost effectiveness or resource plan issues.
