Senate Bill (SB) 960 (Leonard, ch. 96-0856) requires, among other things, that the Commission categorize proceedings and determine the need for hearing for purposes of determining the applicable restrictions on ex parte communications and other applicable rules.

The Commission has reviewed the initial pleading of the utility applicants and makes the preliminary determinations of category and need for hearing as shown in the attached Preliminary Determination Schedule, consistent with the requirements of Rule7.1.

No public review or comment is required for this resolution pursuant to Rule 14.7.

IT IS ORDERED that:

1.  The category and need for hearing for each proceeding initiated by application listed in the attached Schedule of Preliminary Determinations are preliminarily determined, as noted.

2.  This resolution is effective today.

I certify that the foregoing resolution was duly introduced, passed, and adopted at a conference of the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California held on [Date], the following Commissioners voting favorably thereon:
