GLOSSARY After January 1, 1998, the California Public Utilities Commission is required by statute (SB 960) to categorize each case that comes before it. There are three categories, quasi- legislative, adjudicatory and ratesetting. If a case does not require hearings before it is resolved, the case is removed from the SB 960 category requirements. The legend below shows the abbreviation for each of the categories and provides a brief explanation. Q Quasi-legislative proceedings are proceedings that establish policy or rules (including generic ratemaking policy or rules) affecting a class of regulated entities, including those proceedings in which the Commission investigates rates or practices for an entire regulated industry or class of entities within the industry. A Adjudicatory proceedings are: (1) enforcement investigations into possible violations of any provision of statutory law or order or rule of the Commission; and (2) complaints against regulated entities, including those complaints that challenge the accuracy of a bill, but excluding those complaints that challenge the reasonableness of rates or charges, past, present, or future. RS Ratesetting proceedings are proceedings in which the Commission sets or investigates rates for a specifically named utility (or utilities), or establishes a mechanism that in turn sets the rates for a specifically named utility (or utilities). Ratesetting proceedings include complaints that challenge the reasonableness of rates or charges, past, present, or future. N/A Removed from the SB 960 category requirements.

Summary: On June 29, 1998, John Hughes, Southern California Edison Company (Edison) Regulatory Manager, and Sarah Smith, Edison Corporate Representative, contacted Michelle Cook, adv. to Cmmr. Duque, in San Francisco. Item E-3, Resolution E-3544, noticed on July 2, 1998 Agenda was discussed. Hughes and Smith stated that the intention of Edison's request in its Advice Letter 1298-E for a Transmission Revenue Requirement Reclassification Memorandum Account (TRRRMA) is simply to establish a memorandum account. This account is necessary to allow Edison the opportunity to recover costs which the FERC rules were mis-allocated to transmission rates. Hughes and Smith further explained that it is not Edison's intention, in requesting TRRRMA, to establich the rate credit approach. Rather the TRRRMA, consistent with Commission direction in D97-08-056, will provide Edison the opportunity only, not the guarantee of recovery, of reasonable distribution related costs. They concluded that without the memorandum account Edison is at increased risk for the interim period until the FERC makes a final determination in the future. Filer: Southern California Edison Company Contact: Brady Piland Phone: (626) 302-2310 Summary: On June 30, 1998, Bruce Foster, Vice President of Southern California Edison Company (Edison), and Sarah Smith, Edison Corporate Representative, met with Cmmr. Bilas in San Francisco. Bruce Foster and Sara Smith also contacted Cmmr. Conlon; James Hendry, adv. to Cmmr. Conlon; and Cmmr. Neeper in three separate meetings. During the meetings the parties discussed the Item E-3, Resolution E-3544, noticed on July 2, 1998 Agenda. Foster and Smith explained that the intention of Edison's request in Advice Letter 1298-E, regarding Transmission Revenue Requirement Reclassification Memorandum Account (TRRRMA) was to allow Edison the opportunity to recover costs which the FERC determines to be distribution related, and not transmission related. Foster and Smith stated that it was not Edison's intention to establish the rate credit approach, by requesting TRRRMA. They further stated that TRRRMA will afford Edison the opportunity, not the guarantee recover of reasonable distribution related costs. Foster and Smith concluded that without the memorandum account, Edison is at risk during the interim period that its transmission revenue requirement is in place subject to refund, and pending FERC final determination.

RESOLUTIONS OF JUNE 4, 1998 COMMISSION MEETING 6/4/98 ALJ-176- Ratification of preliminary 2994 determinations of category for proceedings initiated by application. The preliminary determinations are pursuant to Article 2.5, Rules 4 and 6.1 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. (See also Rule 63.2(c) regarding notice of assignment.) Adopted. ALJ-177 To adopt, in final form, the two generally applicable protocols for closed deliberation of ratesetting proposed decisions that the Commission published for comment in the California Regulatory Notice Register, as described in Res. ALJ-175 (adopted February 4, 1998). Adopted. L-270 The plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit has subpoenaed the Commission for the financial records of Kurz Truck Service, Inc. (T-074962), and Jeff Kurz dba Jeff Kurz Trucking (T- 182638), the defendant at trial. The presiding court has awarded plaintiff a money judgment against the defendant exceeding $1 million, and plaintiff is seeking the requested data for purposes of satisfying her judgment from the defendant's business assets. California Public Utilities Code section 583 and General Order 66-C prohibit disclosure of data provided to the Commission by a regulated carrier, unless officially authorized by the Commission. The California Public Records Act (California Government Code section 6250 et seq.) and Commission decisions favor disclosure of Commission records where public interest in disclosure outweigh interests to the contrary. See e.g., San Diego Gas and Electric Co., for Rehearing of Resolution L-240 (1993), 49 CPUC 2d 241. In this case, Commission staff recommends disclosure. The public interest in disclosure is that a regulated carrier found legally liable for an automobile accident causing serious physical and emotional injuries to another person, should be held accountable. Little if any countervailing interests appear to outweigh this societal interest. For example, if the records in question were not released, this could thwart plaintiff's efforts to satisfy her judgment against the carrier and consequently abet the carrier's resistance thereto. Granted. SU-46 Advice Letter 2601 of Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). This resolution authorizes SoCalGas to deviate from General Order No. 112-E, Section 192.13(c), by allowing San Diego Gas & Electric Company to use their own operating procedures to operate specific sections of SoCalGas' natural gas pipeline No. 1026, in emergency situation. Adopted. SU-47 This resolution amends Res SU-33 to allow California gas operators to install plastic pipe encased in plastic casing above ground level, internal to bridges structures. Granted. TL-18848 Antonio Luna and Jeffrey Rhodes dba Bay Area Shuttle (Carrier). This resolution grants voluntary suspension of certain portions of the certificate of public convenience and necessity issued to carrier. Granted. TL-18850 Resolution approving issuance of charter-party carrier certificates pursuant to Section 5374(b) of the Public Utilities Code. Granted.
