Protective Order Rulemaking

This ruling is issued under current considerations for protecting information as defined by Public Utilities Commission Code Sections 454.5(g) and 583, and General Order 66-C and related Commission rules. As a Commission decision in R.05-06-040 will be relevant, if not definitive, to confidentiality issues in this proceeding, future confidentiality rulings in this proceeding will take any Commission decision in R.05-06-040, when issued, into account.

Therefore, IT IS RULED that:

1. The December 23, 2005, Motion of Southern California Edison Company for a protective order is denied in part and granted in part as described above.

2. In order to continue this proceeding, Edison should amend its Application consistent with this ruling.

Dated January 26, 2006, at San Francisco, California.
