NOTICE OF DRAFT RESOLUTIONS
(Pursuant to PU Code  311(g))

Draft Resolution Approving Disclosure of  Clarification to Staff Investigative 
Report and Supporting Records Concerning Explosion Occurring on February 17, 
1998 at 2101 San Pablo Avenue, Pinole, California, Available For Public Review 
And Comment.

A draft resolution (L-286) of the Legal Division approving the disclosure of information 
concerning the explosion occurring on February 17, 1998 at 2101 San Pablo Avenue, 
Pinole, California, will be on the September 2, 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 L-286, 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 August 3, 1999 to the attorneys of record for 
the parties in State Farm v. EBMUD, Contra Costa County Case No. 9805176, and 
to Pacific Gas & Electric Company, the utility whose facilities were involved in the 
explosion. 

Interested parties may obtain a copy of L-286 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:

			Lynne McGhee
			Legal Division
			California Public Utilities Commission
			505 Van Ness Avenue, Room 5003
			San Francisco, CA  94102
			Telephone:  (415) 703-2913

An original and 2 copies of comments must be received by the Legal Division no 
later than Thursday, August 26, 1999.  Comments shall focus on factual, legal or 
technical error in the proposed resolution.  Late filed comments will ordinarily be 
rejected.  However, in extraordinary circumstances, a request for leave to submit 
comments late,


CORRECTION

The August 3, 1999, Daily Calendar indicated that a draft resolution (L-285) of the Legal 
Division approving disclosure of confidential records concerning direct access customers to 
the California State Board of Equalization pursuant to a confidentiality agreement will be on 
the September 2, 1999, Commission meeting agenda.  The Daily Calendar invited comments 
on the draft resolution and also noted that this draft resolution has been circulated to the 
Electric Restructuring Service List, R.94-04-031/I.94-04-032, the Registered Electric 
Service Providers Service List, and the Inactive Electric Service Providers Service List.

Due to changed circumstances, draft resolution L-285 will not be placed on the agenda for 
consideration at the Commission's September 2, 1999 meeting.  Since the matter will 
require consideration by the Commission at a future business meeting, the Daily Calendar 
will provide notice and information about filing comments at a future time.

If you have questions, you may contact Fred Harris at (415) 703-1557.
