As you know, ALJ Biren has established May 5 as the date that testimony is
due in support of all settlements filed on April 3 and April 17.? While she may offer additional guidance at the PHC on April 24, we need to start the process of formalizing the testimony supporting the Comprehensive Settlement Agreement.? ? We have already identified the content and parties responsible for drafting the testimony (as identified below).? The testimony will be based on a "hub and spoke" approach, where SoCalGas will focus on the mechanics of unbundling, describing in detail how the capacity and retail unbundling process will work, with other parties filing testimony that complements SoCalGas' testimony while offering the parties individual perspective on why the settlement is in the public interest and benefits customers, the state of California, mom and apple pie - you get the picture.? In addition, I would like to suggest the following deadlines for getting testimony prepared and circulated so that all of the signatories to the settlement agreement have an opportunity to review and comment appropriately on the drafts.? I suggest we adhere to the following schedule: ? April 25? Draft Outlines of Testimony? (Optional) April 28? 1st Draft Testimony May 2??? 2nd Draft Testimony May 5??? File Testimony w/Commission?????? ? I think that it is essential that we circulate the draft testimony twice so that everyone knows what will be filed on the May 5.? The schedule is compressed, but we have to operate within the time parameters we've been given.?? The testimony assignments are identified below.? There has been one change from what we had agreed to previously.? SoCalGas will sponsor a witness on the "Concepts of Unbundling".? I would also like to suggest that we file the testimony a one comprehensive document.?? I have suggested a chapter-style format that might work, but I am open to suggestion.? Let me know what you think. ? ? Chapter 1??? SoCalGas??????????????????????? Concepts of Unbundling??????????????????????????????????????? Chapter 2??? SoCalGas???????????????????????
