Upon the reasonable request of DWR, Utility will provide to DWR any information in respect of Utility that is applicable to the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Order. Upon the reasonable request of Utility, DWR will provide to Utility any information in respect of DWR that is applicable to the rights and obligations of the Parties under this Order or any material information that is reasonably necessary for Utility to operationally administer Contracts under this Order.

For the information identified above, or any additional information identified through the term of this Order, standard submission formats will be used or developed by DWR for use by each of the investor-owned utilities, including Utility. In the cases where the information requirements result in a large volume of data (e.g., schedule information), DWR will use or develop standard detailed file definitions for use by all of the investor-owned utilities, including Utility. Data will be submitted to DWR by Utility through a secure electronic communication medium, unless other medium is reasonably requested by DWR.

As a result of the relative short implementation timeframes, it is anticipated an interim delivery protocol (e.g., comma delimited file via email, compact diskettes) will be utilized until the final data transmission media are in place. DWR shall work jointly with Utility to ensure the required data is available by January 1, 2003.
