Enclosed is Item H-19a Alternate Draft Order of Commissioner Bilas to the draft decision of Administrative Law Judge Wong previously mailed to you. This item is on the Commission's continuation agenda for March 7, 2001.

When the Commission acts on this agenda item, it may adopt all or part of it as written, amend or modify it, or set it aside and prepare its own decision. Only when the Commission acts does the decision become binding on the parties.

As set forth under Rule 77.7(f)(9) of its Rules of Practice and Procedure, the Commission may determine on its own motion that public necessity requires reduction of the public review and comment period for its alternate. It has done so here. Parties to these proceedings may file comments on the enclosed alternate on March 5, 2001. There will be no reply comments. An original and four copies of the comments and reply comments with a certificate of service shall be filed with the Commission's Docket Office and copies shall be served on all parties on the same day of filing.
