NOTICE OF DRAFT RESOLUTIONS (Pursuant to PU Code 311(g)) Draft Resolution Approving Disclosure Of Information Concerning Utility Readiness With Respect To The Year 2000 Computer Problem, Including Utility Responses to Resolution M- 4792, Dated November 19, 1998 Available For Public Review And Comment. A draft resolution (M-4793) of the Executive Division approving disclosure of information concerning utility readiness with respect to the Year 2000 (Y2K) computer problem, including utility responses to resolution M-4792, dated November 19, 1998, will be on the April 1, 1999 Commission meeting agenda. The Commission may vote on this resolution at that time, or it may postpone a vote until later. When the Commission votes on M-4793, it may adopt all or part of it as written, amend or modify it, or set it aside and prepare a different resolution. The draft resolution was circulated on March 2, 1999 to the Resolution M-4792 Service List, and to other entities, such as certain passenger stage corporations and vessel common carriers, who have been asked to provide information concerning their Y2K readiness. Utilities and other entities providing Y2K readiness reports to the Commission pursuant to Resolution M-4792 may request in comments to this draft resolution that certain limited portions of their Y2K readiness reports should be treated as confidential. Entities seeking confidential treatment should recognize the strong public interest in disclosure of Y2K readiness information, and should seek confidential treatment only if they can demonstrate to the Commission's satisfaction both that the portions they wish kept confidential fall within a specific exemption in the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.) and that the public interest in nondisclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure. An entity should not seek confidential treatment of any information which has been made publicly available through Y2K readiness reports filed by that entity with other agencies or through reports posted on the entity's web site. Any request for confidentiality must be filed prior to the close of the comment period for this resolution. Interested parties may obtain a copy of M-4793 for review and submission of written comments. A copy of the draft resolution may be obtained from, and any subsequent written comments should be submitted to: Fred Harris, Staff Counsel Legal Division California Public Utilities Commission 505 Van Ness Avenue, Room 5122 San Francisco, CA 94102 Telephone: (415) 703-1557 An original and 2 copies of comments must be received by the Legal Division by March 15, 1999. Comments shall focus on factual, legal or technical error in the proposed resolution, or on narrowly tailored requests for confidential treatment of limited portions of Y2K readiness information, as outlined above. Late filed comments will ordinarily be rejected. However, in extraordinary circumstances, a request for leave to submit comments late, together with the proposed comments, may be filed. An accompanying declaration under penalty of perjury shall also be submitted setting forth all the reasons for the late submission.

Summary: On February 19, 1999 in meetings at CPUC, Pacific Bell ("PacBell") representatives orally informed Commission advisors it would be possible to advance the "714" area code overlay date from January, 2001, as stipulated in the proposed decision, to October, 2000. In separate meetings on 2/19/99, Margaret Pascoe and Lynn Mowery of PacBell further advised Fassil Fenikile, advisor to Commissioner Neeper, and Tim Sullivan, advisor to Commissioner Duque, that the number of NXX code requests which are being denied each in the "714" NPA are examples of "pent up" demand for telephone numbers. Each advisor was told that PacBell would file comments supporting this position and that the comments would include review of the proposed 25 percent "NXX" code assignment restriction and the utilization reports required only of PacBell and GTEC.
