Summary: On January 6, 1998, Phyllis Huckabbee, Director, State Regulatory Relations for Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), contacted Michelle Cooke, adv. to Cmmr. Duque, and David Gamson, adv. to Cmmr. Neeper. Dexter Khoury, Public Utilities Regulatory Analyst III for Office of Ratepayer Advocates (ORA), and Johannes Van Lierop, Director, PUC and Governmental Affairs for SoCalGas were also present. Written material consisted of a copy of the settlement between SoCalGas, ORA and TURN, filed November 21, 1998 was used. It is part of the public record to this proceeding and is not attached to this notice. Huckabee stated that the settlement contemplated the concerns which have been raised regarding the determination of incremental load that would be eligible for discounting. She also expressed concern with changes made to the settlement and now being contemplated by the Commission for adoption. Huckabee stated that limiting discounts to 5% of the core transportation program would render the program essentially meaningless. Van Lierop stated that the Commission did not contemplate a "pilot" program when it approved the concept of discounting for core customers in SoCalGas' PBR decision, and urged removal of reference in the draft decision to a "pilot". He further stated that SoCalGas would not expect the program to exceed 5% of core volumes, but that a substantially lower limit could stifle the program's effectiveness. Khoury stated that ORA would exercise it's right as a party to examine all requests by SoCalGas to serve customers under this program as well as closely review all annual filings.
