NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY

The draft decision of ALJ Steven A. Weissman has been made available at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUBLISHED/COMMENT_DECISION/50853.htm
on November 2, 2005. The draft decision approves the requests by SBW Consulting, Inc., Portland Energy Conservation, Inc., San Diego Regional Energy Office, and Navigant Consulting Inc. to extend the time for them to fulfill customer and program commitments entered into by December 31, 2005.

Any recipient of this Notice of Availability who is not receiving service by electronic mail in this proceeding or who is unable to access the link to the Commission's web site given above may request a paper copy of the draft decision from the Commission's Central Files Office, at (415) 703-2045; fax number (415) 703-2263; e-mail cen@cpuc.ca.gov.

The draft decision will not appear on the Commission's agenda for at least 29 days after the date it is mailed. The Commission may act then, or it may postpone action until later. Pursuant to Pub. Util. Code § 311(g)(2), the normal 30-day public review and comment period is being reduced by one day due to an unforeseen emergency situation, specifically a power outage at the Commission's San Francisco offices that made it physically impossible to serve this draft decision on November 1, 2005.

When the Commission acts on the draft decision, 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.

Parties to the proceeding may file comments on the draft decision as provided in Article 19 of the Commission's "Rules of Practice and Procedure," accessible on the Commission's website at http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUBLISHED/RULES PRAC PROC/44887.htm. Pursuant to Rule 77.3 opening comments shall not exceed 15 pages.

Comments must be filed with the Commission's Docket Office. Comments should be served on parties to this proceeding in accordance with Rules 2.3 and 2.3.1. Electronic copies of comments should be sent to ALJ Weissman at saw@cpuc.ca.gov. All parties must serve hard copies on the ALJ and the assigned Commissioner, and for that purpose I suggest hand delivery, overnight mail or other expeditious methods of service. The current service list for this proceeding is available on the Commission's web site, www.cpuc.ca.gov.

Dated November 2, 2005, at San Francisco, California.
