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 September 29, 1998,. Lesla Lehtonen of the California Cable Television Association ("CCTA") and Nicolas Selvy on behalf of the California Rights of Way Coalition engaged in oral and written ex parte communications at CPUC with Timothy Sullivan, advisor to Commissioner Duque. Ms Lehtonen addressed the Commission's 1978 preemption of cable attachments and the need for the draft decision of Administrative Law Judge Pulsifer to include cable corporations as entities subject to the rights of way rules. She said the Commission should provide a "fresh look" at existing contracts between CLCs, cable corporations, and utilities regarding rights of way. Mr. Selby stated the Commission should have the same rights of way rules apply to both CLCs and cable corporations. Written materials left with Mr. Sullivan by Ms Lehtonen were (1) excerpts from CCTA's comments on on the proposed decision filed 7/24/98, (2) a letter from CCTA Vice President Alan Gardner to Commissioner Knight and Advisor Duda dated 8/26/98, and (3) a letter from Mr. Gardner to Commissioner Knight dated 9/4/98, all concerning the Commission's jurisdiction over cable corporations' access to rights of way. All writings were attached to the Notice of Ex Parte Communications. Filer: California Cable Television Association Contact: Frank Monti Phone: (510) 428-2225
