COMMISSION MEETING OF 3/31/97 3/31/97 D97-03-066 A97-03-039 - The Utility Reform Network. For rehearing and immediate stay of Resolution G-3205. Orders a stay of Resolution No. G-3205 pending further order; directs interested parties to respond to the application no later than noon on 4/7/97.

D97-03-067 A96-04-038 - Pacific Telesis Group (Telesis) and SBC Communications, Inc. (SBC). For SBC Communications, Inc. to control Pacific Bell, which will occur indirectly as a result of Telesis merger with wholly owned subsidiary of SBC, SBC Communications (NV) Inc. Approves the merger of Telesis and SBC subject to several conditions which address matters raised in PU Code { 854. Evaluates the potential competitive impacts of the proposed merger and find that the merger is unlikely to affect competition adversely. Imposes on approval of the merger the requirement that Pacific Bell (Pacific) refund to ratepayers the short term and long term economic benefits of the merger in the amount of $590 million over five years. Directs Pacific to modify the Community Partnership Commitment it signed with numerous community groups to remove terms of that agreement which might be discriminatory or constrain the advocacy activities of nonprofit groups, among other things. If Pacific does not accomplish the modifications it may, alternatively, contribute $82 million to a trust whose purpose would be to improve the telecommunications access and education of underserved communities in California. Directs applicants to submit to an audit of their accounting and record-keeping practices, to create a trust for Pacific's employees' pension funds and to reduce Pacific's rates by $13 million, an amount which Pacific has received in rates for improvements to its customer services which have not been accomplished after four years.

LATE FILED. On April 3, 1997, Jack Jenkins- Stark, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Gas Supply Business Unit, for Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Cmmr. Bilas in San Francisco. Also present were: Jean Vieth, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas, and Kristel Frank, Director, Regulatory Relations, PG&E. Jenkins- Stark requested a meeting with the Commissioner and representatives of the 27 settling parties to discuss, substantively, the proposed decision in the gas accord. Jenkins-Stark sated his concern that the proposed decision rejuvenates roughly two dozen regulatory hearings. Jenkins-Stark pointed out that these issues need to be addressed quickly for the sake of the settling parties, and to facilitate implementation of electric industry restructuring. PG&E Contact: Marian Swanson filed Tel: (415) 972-5611 04/10/97 A96-03-054 Pacific Gas and Electric Company, to modify Diablo Canyon pricing and adopt a customer electric rate freeze in compliance with D95-12-063. On April 7, 1997, Les Guliasi, Manager, Regulatory Relations of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Robert Lane, advisor to Cmmr. Knight, in San Francisco. Also present was Jana Corey, Director of Regulatory Relations, PG&E. A copy of PG&E's notice of ex-parte communication (attached to the notice), dated 4/2/97, was used. PG&E stated that the proposed decision issued on 2/28/97 excludes recovery of $156 million of inventory items from sunk costs, including $78 million in materials and supplies inventory and $78 million out-of-core nuclear fuel inventory. Guliasi and Corey stated that PG&E has no intention of recovering twice the costs of holding and consuming materials, spare parts, or fuel. PG&E explained that, consistent with the treatment of inventory in the SONGS and Palo Verde decisions, the decision should include materials and supplies in sunk costs, and should also include nuclear fuel inventory in sunk costs, both subject to a true-up, if necessary, at the end of the transition period. PG&E Contact: Heidi Holzhauer filed Tel: (415) 973-6536 04/10/97 A96-03-045 Mather Field Utility, Inc., for a certificate of public convenience and necessity for its gas distribution system at Mather Field. On April 7, 1997, Les Guliasi, Manager, Regulatory Relations of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), met with Cmmr. Neeper in San Francisco. Also present were: David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Neeper; Jana Corey, Director of Regulatory Relations, PG&E; and Linda Agerter, attorney for PG&E. Corey stated that PG&E is concerned about the proposed decision's discussion of the federal enclave doctrine. Agerter stated that the Commission can arrive at the proposed decision's outcome without ruling on the jurisdictional issue. Agerter stated that the Commission has the authority to find that Mather Field Utilities, In, is qualified to serve natural gas to the Mather Field area, and, because PG&E choose not to bid on the facilities when they came up for sale by the Air Force, Mather Field Utilities, Inc. should receive an exclusive certificate of public convenience and necessity to serve the territory. PG&E Contact: Heidi Holzhauer filed Tel: (415) 973-6536 04/10/97 A95-06-002 Southern California Gas Company, for authority to adopt its proposed performance-based regulation (PBR) formula which would reduce base rates by approximately $42 million (2.7%) effective 1/1/1997. On April 7, 1997, Phyllis Huckabee, Director of State Regulatory Relations for Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), spoke on three occasions with Jean Vieth, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas, David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Neeper, and Robert Lane, advisor to Cmmr. Knight. In her conversation with Jean Vieth, Huckabee expressed concern that the orders instituting investigation/rulemaking (OOI/OIR) into utility/affiliate relationships on the agenda for 4/9/97, might be interpreted as meaning that the Commission would not take action in the performance based ratemaking (PBR) proceeding on SoCalGas' proposal for regulatory treatment of new products and services. Huckabee stated that the matter should not be removed from the PBR proceeding and explained that the scope of SoCalGas' PBR new products and services proposal was not the same as the scope of the draft OOI/OIR. In her communications with David Gamson and Robert Lane, Huckabee urged the Commission to consider and rule in the PBR application, not in the draft OII/OIR, on the new products and services proposal SoCalGas has made in its PBR application. Huckabee explained that the scope of SoCalGas' new products and services proposal was not the same as the scope of the draft OII/OIR. SoCalGas Contact: Artemis Manos filed Tel: (213) 895-5236 04/11/97 On April 7, 1997, Phyllis Huckabee, Director of State Regulatory Relations for Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), spoke on three occasions with Jean Vieth, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas, David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Neeper, and Robert Lane, advisor to Cmmr. Knight. In her conversation with Jean Vieth, Huckabee expressed concern that the orders instituting investigation/rulemaking (OOI/OIR) into utility/affiliate relationships on the agenda for 4/9/97, might be interpreted as meaning that the Commission would not take action in the performance based ratemaking (PBR) proceeding on SoCalGas' proposal for regulatory treatment of new products and services.

In her communications with David Gamson and Robert Lane, Huckabee urged the Commission to consider and rule in the PBR application, not in the draft OII/OIR, on the new products and services proposal SoCalGas has made in its PBR application. Huckabee explained that the scope of SoCalGas' new products and services proposal was not the same as the scope of the draft OII/OIR. SoCalGas Contact: Artemis Manos filed Tel: (213) 895-5236 04/11/97 A96-07-009 Southern California Edison Company, to adopt performance based ratemaking and incentive based ratemaking mechanisms as specified in D95-12-063, as modified by D96-01-009, with related changes in D89-01-040, D92549 and D88-01-063. AUGMENTATION REQUIRED. On April 7, 1997, John P. Hughes, Manager of Regulatory Affairs for Southern California Edison Company (Edison), met with john Scadding, advisor to Cmmr. Conlon. Hughes reiterated Edison's concern about the proposed decision on generation performance based ratemaking. Hughes stated that it was Edison's interpretation that Cmmr. Conlon intended the 150 basis point to apply to all generation units, and not just the must-run generation units. Edison Contact: Bobbie Cao filed Tel: (818) 302-2310 Other Business Agenda No. 2947 June 6, 1996 LEG-1 SB 678 (Polanco) as amended on May 9, 1996. Would require that the Commission submit a report to the Legislature by July 1, 1997 that recommends an approach to financing existing low- income public policy prograns that does not create competitive imbalance between Commission- regulated natural gas providers and others. Commission voted 4-0 to approve recommendation to support the bill. Commissioner Fessler necessarily absent. HLEG-4 AB 2589 (Battin) as amended on April 17, 1996. Would require approval by April 1, 1997, of an experimental rate design, in Climatic Zone 15, which may diverge from the inverted rate structure mandated by Section 739 of the Public Utilities Code. Commission voted 3-1 to support recommendation to take a neutral position on the bill if funding to implement is provided. Commissioner Neeper dissented. Commissioner Fessler necessarily absent. HLEG-6 AB 2597 (Alby) as amended on April 24, 1996 and as proposed to be amended. Would provide that no privately owned or publicly owned public utility shall provide electric service to an existing retail customer of another utility unless the customer first enters into an agreement to pay an established nonbypassable severance fee or competitive transition charge. Commission voted 3-1 to support the concept of a nonbypassable competition transition change but oppose provisions of the bill which are inconsistent with the Commission's policy and Roadmap implementation decisions. Commissioner Knight dissented. Commissioner Fessler necessarily absent. REMOVALS FROM CALENDAR NONE
