Beitel stated that the purpose of PG&E's request that the 1997 AEAP decision be effective on 1/1/98 even if the decision is not issued until after that date, is to enable PG&E to recognize estimated incentive earnings as shareholder earnings starting 1/1/98. Beitel stated that as an alternative, PG&E could recognize estimated incentive earnings starting 1/1/98 if the Commission authorized PG&E to include an estimate of CEE incentive revenue in rates starting 1/1/98. Beitel further stated that under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, PG&E would not be permitted to recognize estimated incentive revenues starting 1/1/98 if the Commission only authorized PG&E to track estimated incentive revenues in a tracking account. Beitel stated that it would be reasonable for the Commission to rule that the 1997 AEAP electric revenue change be treated in a manner that is consistent with the electric restructuring proceeding, OIRT 94-04-031/OII 94-04-032.

Summary:. On August 14, 1997, Richard Nelson, Government Relations Director for AirTouch Cellular (AirTouch), spoke with Jose Jimenez, advisor for Cmmr. Conlon, in San Francisco. Nelson stated that he was concerned that the integrity of the code relief planning process was being jeopardized by the Commission's involvement with the industry planning process for code relief. Nelson stated that a recent ALJ ruling directing that a three-way geographic area code split be considered for the 310 area after the industry group had rejected this alternative by a 14 to 10 vote undermines the long established industry code relief planning process. Nelson stated that seven other alternatives also failed to receive a simple majority vote. Nelson stated that he would forward a copy of an Emergency Motion to Rescind ALJ's Ruling Regarding 310 NPA Relief (attached to the Notice).
