-----------------------------------------

Discussion of scheduling at the January 8, 1998, prehearing conference on
revenue cycle unbundling applications 97-11-004, 97-11-011, and 97-12-012 
included the planning of workshops during January and February, 1998, 
prior to the filing of amended applications by the utilities.  The first of
these workshops was held in San Francisco on Friday, January 16, to further
discuss the content of "Phase 1" of this proceeding (e.g., credit categories,
customer segments, units for each credit, and bill format;  Phase 2 would
include issues such as values for the credits, cost methodology, allocation
of common costs, and utility cost recovery).

The next workshop will be held on Tuesday, February 17, starting at 10 AM, at
PG&E's Pacific Energy Center, 851 Howard St., in San Francisco.  The focus of
this workshop will be Phase 2 issues.
