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.

Jones Phone: (916) 658-8200 6/18/98 A95-05-030 Roseville Telephone Company, for authority to increase its intrastate rates by $26,890,729 effective 1/1/96; adopt the new regulatory framework proposal and I95-09-001 Commission Order Instituting Investigation, into the rates, charges, service, practices and regulation of Roseville Telephone Company; consolidated with A95-05- 030. 6/18/98 A95-05-031 Roseville Telephone Company, for authority to implement a proposed agreement and plan for reorganization which would result in a holding company structure. Summary: On June 16, 1998, Michael D. Campbell, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Roseville Telephone Company (Roseville), met with Cmmr. Conlon and his adv. Jose Jiminez at the Commission's offices in San Francisco. Also present were: Greg R. Gierczak, Executive Director-Regulatory of Roseville, Elena Schmid, ORA Director, Andrew Ulmer, Counsel of Legal Division, and Bernard O. Ayanruoh, staff member of ORA. Campbell and Gierczak said that Roseville objected to (1) ORA's unilateral determination that an audit of Roseville's affiliate and nonregulated transactions is required, (2) ORA's engagement of an outside accounting firm without prior consultant with Roseville, and (3) ORA's expectation that Roseville will pay $500,000 for this audit. Campbell and Gierczak said ORA has disregarded and disobeyed specific Commission's procedural requirements for whether an audit is necessary and how such an audit is conducted. A handout was used and is attached to the notice. It contains the summary of the rules established by the Commission and outlines how ORA's position on the audit is improper.
