3. Modification of Scoping Memo in BCAP

Resolving the issue of gas master meter discounts in the BCAP need not cause a delay in the BCAP proceeding. PG&E has already presented testimony in its GRC application and should serve that portion of its testimony relating to the gas master meter discount on all parties to the BCAP proceeding. Other parties may address the master meter discount for customers who submeter in testimony to be served at a later date, for hearing at a later date, if necessary and as follows:

ITEM	DATE
PG&E serves relevant proposed testimony from its GRC on parties to A.04-07-044	January 14, 2005
ORA and other parties serve proposed testimony	February 15, 2005
Evidentiary Hearings, if needed	March 8, 2005

IT IS RULED that:

1. The December 29, 2004 motion of the Western Manufacturing Housing Communities Association to move issues related to the setting of the master meter discount for natural gas customers from Application (A.) 04-06-024 to A.04-07-044 is granted.

2. The Scoping Memo in A.04-07-044 is modified as set forth herein.

3. Testimony on issues relating to a master meter discount for natural gas customers should be served in A.04-07-044 on dates set forth herein.
