RE: VEE - Holidays - for interval and monthly data



A year ago SCE provided the MADAWG team with its holiday rules and they
are defined as follows in our tariffs:

Holiday              Type        Rule
----------------     -------
------------------------------------------------
New Year's Day       Fixed       January 1 except if Sunday on following
Monday
Presidents Day       Sliding     3rd Monday of February
Memorial Day         Sliding     Last Monday of May
Independence Day     Fixed       July 4 except if Sunday on following
Monday
Labor Day            Sliding     1st Monday of September
Veterans Day         Fixed       November 11 except if Sunday on
following Monday
Thanksgiving Day     Sliding     4th Thursday of November
Christmas Day        Fixed       December 25 except if Sunday on
following Monday

In summary ....
We do not treat Martin Luther King Day or the day following Thanksgiving
Day as holidays.  We apply Presidents Day as the 3rd Monday of February.
 No changes made for holidays falling on a Saturday.  It is only
holidays falling on a Sunday which are applied to the following Monday.
Since these holiday rules are defined in our tariffs which are regulated
by the CPUC, SCE can not change these rules.
