APPROVED PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
For 2003, PG&E proposes to increase funding to assist city and county governments with upcoming changes in Title 24 codes and standards, local program augmentation, local model-code development, and training of code officials. However, the utility reported low expenditures in 2002 and does not justify higher spending on the basis of significant program changes. Therefore, the 2003 budget for this program equals the annualized amount approved for 2002.

APPROVED PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
In 2003, SCE proposes to fund the information service activities through the Education and Training Program, which already provides similar services to agricultural and water customers. This shift in funding results in a lower per unit costs for pump tests, which translates into a higher target despite a lower budget for direct implementation costs. SCE's proposed budget and pump test target are approved. SCE should indicate its target number of customer contacts for 2003 in its quarterly reports.

The program is designed to help local government build self-sustaining energy efficiency partnerships with their constituents. It has four components:
· Community Energy Efficiency Partnership (CEEP): SCE works with the Building Industry Institute to motivate builders to commit to build homes that exceed Title 24 standards by at least 15%.
· CheckPoint: SCE works with local governments to motivate small business owners to use energy efficient equipment by providing information and incentives during the permitting process.
· Small Business: SCE provides energy efficiency rebate information and outreach to targeted local jurisdictions, linking small business owners to the Express Efficiency program.
· Multi-Family: This component is new for 2003, designed to offer rebates on several energy efficiency measures.

APPROVED PROGRAM MODIFICATIONS:
SCE proposes to target 16 new jurisdictions for 2003 with a high priority placed on those jurisdictions with notable building activity and/or containing zip codes in the hard-to-reach target areas. SCE will expand the program to include information and outreach on components of the Multi-Family Program in order to leverage the relationship the cities have with Homeowner Associations and building owners. We approve SCE's plans for this program in 2003. We hold SCE to its target of 16 new local jurisdictions added to the program in 2003, 12 of which are in hard-to-reach areas.
