Summary: On October 18, 1999, Kimberly Freeman, State Regulatory Relations, Administrator, for Sempra Energy (Sempra), met with Kim Malcom, advisor to Cmmr. Hyatt; Cmmr. Bilas, Dorothy Duda, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas; and David Gamson, advisor to Cmmr. Neeper in three separate meetings in San Francisco. Also present were Steve Rayon, Regulatory Case Manager, for Sempra; and Dave Follett, Business Unit Counsel, for Southern California Gas Company. Rahon urged the Commission to consider changes to the Proposed Decision (PD) of ALJ Gottstein. In addition, during the meeting with Duda, Follett concluded that adoption of the PD, as currently written, would effectively penalize Sempra's shareholders for taking steps to solve an industry problem of interstate capacity surplus. In addition, during the meeting with Gamson, Freeman added that electric generator customers who are not customers of record when this case was originally decided now bear the burden of this reallocation. Copies of the written materials were provided and attached to the notice. Filer: Sempra Energy Contact: Renee Le Camus Phone: (415) 202-9986 Summary: On October 18, 1999, Jan Smutny-Jones, Executive Director off IEP, met with cmmr. Bilas and Dorothy Duda, advisor to Cmmr. Duda; Cmmr. Wood, and Kim Malcolm, advisor to Cmmr. Hyatt in three separate meetings, in San Francisco. Also present was Doug Kerner, Counsel for IEP. Smutny-Jones urged to reject the Proposed Decision (PD) in the rehearing of Decision 97-04-082 in Application 96-03-031, indicating that the PD would have the Commission to reclassify as Interstate Transition Cost surcharge costs over $88 million attributed to Southern California Gas Company stepdowns in capacity on both the El Paso and Transwestern Pipeline Systems. Smutny-Jones stated that if the PD, if accepted will (1) increase the fuel costs on electric generators which will result in an increase in the Power Exchange market clearing price such that consumer's electric costs may increase statewide; and (2) result in the electric customers of jurisdictional UDCs end up subsidizing the intrastate gas rate reductions of non-jurisdictional municipal customers. A letter stating these concerns was sent to all the Commissioners on October 19, 1999 and is attached to the notice.

Summary: On October 26,1999, Rick Witherington, Government Affairs Vice President, and David Condit, Law and Government Affairs Vice President, for AT&T Communications of California, Inc. (AT&T), met with Cmmr. Bilas, Dorothy Duda and Lester Wong, advisors to Cmmr. Bilas, met with Tim Sullivan, advisor to Cmmr. Duque in two separate meetings, in San Francisco. In both meetings, Bob Kargoll, of AT&T, participated. Condit and Witherington discussed why it should be more efficient to adopt only the proposed non-recurring unbundled network element (UNE) prices while leaving a determination of recurring UNE prices to a follow-up phase of OANAD which would take up both the issues of geographical deaveraged loop and switching prices. During the meeting with Cmmr. Bilas, Condit discussed why the UNE loop price must contain offsets to recognize the subsidy support Pacific Bell draws from the Universal Service Fund (USF) and its Yellow pages services. A handout materials was provided during the meeting with Cmmr. Bilas and is attached to the notice. During the meeting with Tim Sullivan, Witherington discussed why the recently adopted SBC/Ameritech merger conditions will not effectively promote long-term residential local exchange competition in California.
