Additonal Agenda Item for July 7 meeting

TO:  Rule 22 folks
FROM:  Steve Roscow, CPUC Energy Division

RE:  Additional Agenda Item

Here is one more "new item" for your agenda tomorrow; I overlooked it
last week.

> To: Rule 22 List Server (E-mail)
> Subject: Discussion Item for July meeting
> 
> 
> Topic:  Operational Procedures
> 
> Issue:  Many parties are asking for operational procedures and
> timeliness
> guidelines to be added to Rule 22.  I think I can speak for all three
> utilities in that the current version of Rule 22 already contains much
> more
> procedural information than would traditionally be expected in a
> tariff.
> Add to this the lengthy and sometimes tortuous process of getting a
> tariff
> changed and we have in my opinion a recipe for failure.
> 
> Proposal:  Each utility should have an operational manual that governs
> its
> interactions with ESPs, MSPs and MDMAs.  This manual should be made
> readily
> available to any market participant.  Parties should be promptly
> notified of
> changes to the manual.  There should be a process for providing input
> and
> negotiating these procedures with the market participants.
> Eventually, we
> may even be able to reduce the size of Rule 22.
> 
> I would be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on this prior to or
> during the meeting.
