Summary: On October 21, 1997, Jan Smutny-Jones, Executive Director of the Independent Energy Producers Association (IEP), mailed a letter (attached to the notice) to Cmmr. Knight in San Francisco. Copies of the letter were also sent to Cmmrs. Conlon, Duque, Neeper and Bilas. In the letter, Smutny-Jones noted IEP's concern that the implementation of restructuring is resulting in unfair advantages for the incumbent utilities. Smutny-Jones quoted and reiterated IEP's support for Cmmr. Knight's observation in a concurring opinion to D97-08-056 that further unbundling of costs associated with utility retail marketing from distribution rates is necessary. IEP urged the Commission to act immediately to eliminate institutional utility advantages and promote true competition wherever possible in the implementation process, and to address the broader implications of restructuring, perhaps through an en bane process.

On October 20, 1997, Colin C. Rorrie, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Directors of Medic Alert, and Executive Director of the American College of Emergency Physicians, and Matthew M Sheridan, Vice President, Public Relations, Medic Alert, initiated three separate contacts with Cmmrs. Duque, Conlon, and Bilas in San Francisco. The first contact was with Cmmr. Duque. During the meeting, Rorrie said that he had been associated with the Academy for eighteen years and was well aware that many emergency physicians use Medic Alert's emergency medical information service which is triggered by a call collect using Area Code 209. The second contact was with Cmmr. Conlon. Rorrie again spoke to the efficacy of Medic Alert's service for emergency physicians. Sheridan explained that the call collect 209 number was engraved on Medic Alert emblems instead of an 800 number. The third contact was with Cmmr. Bilas. Again, Rorrie expressed strong support and use by emergency physicians. This ex parte also contains of three letters that were sent to Cmmr. Conlon by W.
