<
< Enclosed is a copy of the proposed Comments of the Settlement Parties in
< Support of the OFO Settlement. ("Comments") The Comments address the
< specific issues raised by ALJ Biren at the last prehearing conference as
< laid out below in our previous email.
<
< I am also attaching a copy of the Declaration of Dan Thomas (addressing

< PG&E that compares the terms of the OFO Settlement to those in the Gas
< Accord.
<
< In order to expedite the process, PG&E has suggested that it, as a
< representative of all settlement parties, be the sole signatory to the
< Comments. Therefore, please review the enclosed documents, provide any
< revisions and an indication of your assent/dissent to having PG&E sign the
< document on your behalf by end of business tomorrow (Thursday, November
< 18). The deadline for filing the Comments in Monday, November 22.

< Subject: Comments on OFO Settlement
<
< CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION SUBJECT TO CPUC RULE 51
<
<
< As you recall, at the prehearing conference, Judge Biren directed
< the OFO settlement parties to provide her with additional information
< regarding the OFO settlement. Friday, Nov.12, Patrick Golden and I had a
< follow-up conversation with Judge Biren to confirm the procedure by which
< she desires to receive the information.
<
< As a result of the call, Patrick and I suggest that the OFO
< settlement parties file joint "Comments Supporting Settlement" on Nov 22,
< along with any other party which may file comments on the settlement. Our
< comments would encompass the following:
<
< 1) The settlement is in the public interest as attested by an attached
< declaration.
<
< 2) The settlement does not constitute a change in the basic Gas Accord
< settlement; it merely refines implementation details on the Gas Accord.
< As a result, no hearings are necessary on the settlement.
<
< 3) Neither SB1602 nor 1421 impact immediate Commission approval of the
< settlement.
<
< 4) The settlement is intended to be a final, not an interim, settlement.
<
< With respect to Judge Biren's request for declarations (which she
< reconfirmed despite agreeing that Rule 51 does not require declarations),
< Patrick and I discussed having the settling parties provide one
< declaration from PG&E outlining the reasons why the settlement is in the
< public interest, and having the PG&E declarant be authorized to state that
< the following parties authorize him to state that they support his
< declaration.
<
< Judge Biren confirmed that any replies to our comments would be due
< along with all other reply comments on the settlement.
<
< If you have any comments or suggestions on this approach, please let
< either Salle Yoo or me know ASAP.
