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.

Knight also present was Dorothy Duda, advisor to Cmmr. Knight; at the meeting with Cmmr. Neeper - David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Neeper. Grueneich and Klein stated that the July 10, 1998 agreement between the City and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) (Agreement) is a successful resolution of issues with regard to PG&E's auction of the City plants. Referring to an amendment to PG&E's divestiture application, Grueneich and Klein urged the Commission to approve it expeditiously. Grueneich noted that the stranded cost recovery provisions of the Agreement were consistent with existing rules. Klein and Grueneich stated that the key to the long term success of issues regarding Hunter's Point would be obtaining replacement generation and/or transmission capacity, pursuant to the Agreement, and that this would involve working closely with the community, the Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatgory Commission, the Independent System Operator, the new owner of the Potrero Plant, PG&E, and other interested parties.
