ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE'S RULING ON

THE UTILITY REFORM NETWORK NOTICE OF INTENT
TO CLAIM COMPENSATION

On August 22, 2005, The Utility Reform Network (TURN) filed an Amended Notice of Intent (NOI) to Claim Intervenor Compensation in this rehearing of the Otay Mesa Power Purchase Agreement phase of the proceeding. No responses have been received.

This proceeding, Rulemaking (R.) 01-10-024 has had numerous phases. TURN has previously filed NOIs and Requests for Compensation in phases of this Rulemaking, including the predecessor to this rehearing. The rehearing was ordered following an application for rehearing filed by TURN and the Utility Consumers Action Network (UCAN).

On May 28, 2002, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Walwyn ruled that TURN had established its eligibility to claim compensation in R.01-10-024. Pursuant to Rule 76.76 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, TURN remains eligible in this rehearing phase of the Rulemaking.

TURN filed the amended NOI to appraise the Commission and parties of the extent of TURN's anticipated participation in the rehearing phase and to provide an estimate of costs.
