SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED CHANGES
The utilities should have a minimum of 120 days following the S-MAP decision to
prepare the RAMP.
The RAMP should be a phase of the GRC proceeding, not a separate proceeding, and the utilities should proceed with their GRCs on November 1 regardless of whether the RAMP has concluded.
At least 45 days should be provided in all proceedings for serving rebuttal testimony.
The Prehearing Conference for GRCs should be scheduled on November 15.
The Proposed Decision should acknowledge the possible need for confidentiality in data
and models provided during the S-MAP, RAMP and GRC proceedings.
The Commission should assign two ALJs for the major rate cases.
The Proposed Decision should clarify that SED staff, or its consultants, will be subject to discovery and made available to testify about their reports if the reports are to be made part of the record.
The Proposed Decision should clarify that the new reporting requirements will take effect
after the conclusion of the first GRC following the first S-MAP and RAMP proceedings for a given utility.
The Proposed Decision should clarify that SCE’s 2018 GRC will not include a formal RAMP process and that the GRC application would be submitted on November 1, 2016.
PG&E’s 2017 GRC and Gas Transmission and Storage cases should follow the schedule proposed herein.

BEFORE THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA
Order Instituting Rulemaking to Develop a Risk-Based Decision-Making Framework to Evaluate Safety and Reliability Improvements and Revise the General Rate Case Plan for Energy Utilities
))))
R.13-11-006 (Filed November 14, 2013)
COMMENTS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY (U 338-E) AND PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY (U 39-E) ON THE PROPOSED DECISION
OF ASSIGNED COMMISSIONER PEEVEY
Pursuant to Rule 14.3 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the California Public
Utilities Commission (Commission), Southern California Edison Company (SCE) and Pacific
Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) submit these opening comments on the November 3, 2014
Proposed Decision of Commissioner Peevey in the above-captioned matter.
SCE and PG&E appreciate the progress in the Proposed Decision toward better
incorporating risk-based decision-making into General Rate Cases (GRCs) and we support the
Commission’s efforts. Today’s comments further that objective. These comments seek to:
(i) eliminate or revise new administrative procedures that are likely to have adverse
consequences;
(ii) clarify open issues; and,
(iii) propose specific schedules for rate cases during the transition to the Safety Model
Assessment Proceeding (S-MAP) and Risk Assessment Mitigation Phase (RAMP)
process described in the Proposed Decision.
These comments are organized as follows: Section I identifies areas (common to all
utilities) where modifications to the Proposed Decision are warranted. Section II addresses
issues specific to the schedule of SCE’s upcoming GRC. Section III addresses scheduling issues
specific to PG&E. Proposed changes to the Findings of Fact. Conclusions of Law, and Order
are set forth in Appendix A to these comments.
-2-
I. AREAS THAT WARRANT MODIFICATION
The following areas warrant modification: (i) the interplay between the S-MAP and the
RAMP, (ii) the design of the RAMP, (iii) the timing of specific events in the GRC, (iv) treatment
of confidential models and information in the S-MAP and RAMP, (v) the use of two
Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) to facilitate the issuance of timely decisions, (vi) the role of
analysts and consultants from the Safety and Enforcement Division (SED), and (vii) the effective
date for the new reporting requirements.
A. The Interplay Between the S-MAP and the RAMP
SCE and PG&E understand that no utility will be required to file a RAMP until the initial
S-MAP decision is issued.1 We agree with this. However, the Proposed Decision needs to be
modified to ensure that the utilities have adequate time to prepare a RAMP filing once the S-
MAP decision is issued.
The Proposed Decision calls for the first S-MAP filing on May 1, 2015, and sets forth a
schedule comprising as much as 260 days, not including briefing and the time necessary to
prepare a proposed decision.2 Taking these other activities into account, the S-MAP is likely to
last over one year. The first S-MAP decision may issue late in 2016.3
Regardless of when the S-MAP decision issues, the utilities will need some time to
incorporate the results of the S-MAP into its RAMP. Depending on whether the S-MAP requires
material changes to a utility’s models and methodologies, the time needed may be substantial.
Therefore, SCE and PG&E recommend that the Proposed Decision be modified to state that the
utilities shall have a minimum of 120 days following the S-MAP decision to prepare the RAMP.
Absent sufficient time to incorporate the results of the S-MAP, the advantages of the Proposed
Decision’s staged-design of the S-MAP, RAMP, and GRC proceedings could be lost.
1 Proposed Decision, p. 53 (Ordering Paragraph 6). 2 Proposed Decision, pp. 29-30. 3 If delayed, the first S-MAP may not issue in time to affect Sempra’s 2019 GRC, which would
ordinarily call for submission of the RAMP on October 1, 2016. If the S-MAP is not issued in time for Sempra’s 2019 GRC, the first applicant to file a RAMP would likely be PG&E in October 2017 for its 2020 GRC.
-3-
B. The Design of the RAMP
The RAMP, as currently designed, is likely to frustrate one of the purposes of this
rulemaking, which is “to promote more efficient and effective management of the overall rate
case process.”4 This is because the RAMP design promises to delay GRC decisions further.
The design problem relates to the Proposed Decision’s choice to make the RAMP a
separate application, not an earlier phase in the GRC as recommended in the Refined Straw
Proposal.5 The “phase” approach removed the dependency on issuing of a formal Commission
decision to conclude the RAMP. The need for a formal decision could add months to the process
and slow the start of a subsequent GRC. For these reasons, SCE and PG&E continue to support
the RAMP as a phase, not a separate proceeding.
Regardless of whether the Commission keeps the RAMP as the first phase of the GRC
proceeding or as a separate application, the Proposed Decision should clarify that the RAMP
need not formally conclude before the utilities file their GRC. Otherwise, any delays in the
RAMP could translate directly into delays in the GRC.
Many aspects of GRCs are independent of the content of the RAMP. The utilities should
file their GRC applications on November 1 regardless of whether the RAMP phase or proceeding
has concluded or not. Otherwise, the current schedule will exacerbate the serious problem of
delays in GRC proceedings. Utilities’ showings on administrative and general (A&G) costs,
compensation, depreciation, taxes and corporate items, for example, can, and should, proceed
independently of the RAMP. If the RAMP findings warrants modification of certain aspects of
the utility’s GRC filing, the utility should be able to do so though supplemental testimony,
provided 120 days after the conclusion of the RAMP. GRC applications are complex filings that
involve months of preparation including management review and approval of long term project
plans and budgets. If the RAMP is going to have meaningful impact to the utility plans, then
adequate time must be allowed to accommodate any RAMP findings into the application.
Accordingly, SCE and PG&E recommend that the Proposed Decision revert the RAMP
back into a phase of the GRC proceeding, not a separate application, as recommended by the 4 Order Instituting Rulemaking to Develop a Risk-Based Decision-Making Framework to Evaluate
Safety and Reliability Improvements and Revise the General Rate Case Plan for Energy Utilities, p. 1 (November 22, 2013).
5 Proposed Decision, pp. 35-36.

Refined Straw Proposal. Absent that change, SCE and PG&E recommend that the Proposed
Decision be modified to state that (i) utilities shall be expected to take the RAMP findings into
account in its subsequent GRC filing no later than 120 days after the RAMP phase concludes,
and (ii) utilities are expected to file their applications on November 1 regardless of the timing of
when the RAMP phase concludes, taking appropriate account of the RAMP findings through
supplemental testimony as appropriate.
C. The Timing of the Specific Events in the GRC
The proposed schedule for the GRC should be revised in two areas: (i) it does not allow
sufficient time for rebuttal testimony and (ii) it allows too much time for the pre-hearing
conference (PHC).
1. Rebuttal Testimony Needs at Least 45 Days
The proposed GRC schedule allows only 30 days for the utilities and other parties
to prepare concurrent rebuttal testimony to the concurrent opening testimony of ORA and
all intervenors.6 This time is insufficient.
Twenty or more parties commonly participate in GRCs. Their opening testimony
is voluminous. Discovery on such testimony — under current Commission rules — can
take 10 business days or more, not including the advance time required to digest the
others’ testimony and formulate the discovery requests. A 30-day deadline, as proposed
in the Proposed Decision, effectively eliminates the ability to do discovery on such
testimony.
Accordingly, at least 45 days should be provided in all proceedings for serving
rebuttal testimony.7 Absent the additional time, rebuttal testimony is likely to be
disorganized and incomplete, leading to confusion in the record and less efficient,
potentially prolonged, evidentiary hearings. 6 Proposed Decision, pp. 39-40 (Table 4). 7 This is of particular concern in the GRC given the number of issues and parties, but also applies to the
S-MAP, which also calls for a 30-day rebuttal period. (Proposed Decision, p. 29 (Table 2).)
-5-
2. The Prehearing Conference Should Be Held in 15 Days
The proposed schedule allows about 70 days for the scheduling of the prehearing
conference (PHC).8 This is too much time. There is no reason that the proceeding need
start so slowly given the fixed filing dates specified for the GRC. SCE and PG&E
recommend that the PHC should be scheduled on November 15. Getting the proceeding
off to a prompt start will create additional time to allow for the modest extension in
rebuttal time recommended above.
D. Treatment of Confidential Information in the S-MAP and RAMP
The Proposed Decision cites the Refined Straw Proposal, which says that models, data
sources, and assumptions should be fully available for review.9 Assuming this would be the case
for the S-MAP and RAMP, SCE and PG&E note that the Commission has just opened a new
Order Instituting Rulemaking (OIR) that may affect the treatment of confidential data provided
by utilities to the Commission.10
At the time the Refined Straw Proposal was issued and discussed by stakeholders, SCE
and PG&E assumed continuation of the longstanding practice of providing confidential data to
the Commission pursuant to the protections of Public Utilities Code Section 583 and General
Order 66-C. The Commission’s new OIR may change that longstanding practice. SCE and
PG&E will be filing separate comments on the new OIR, but the outcome of the OIR could
affect the types of information used for risk analytics unless the appropriate protection is
provided for confidential data and models. For this reason, SCE and PG&E recommend that the
Proposed Decision be modified to acknowledge the possible need for confidentiality in data and
models provided during the S-MAP, RAMP and GRC proceedings.
E. The Assignment of Two ALJs
The Proposed Decision provides a schedule for GRCs that, while improved slightly from
recent schedules, would not likely produce a final decision prior to the test year absent other
8 Proposed Decision, p. 39. 9 Proposed Decision, p. 20.

changes in Commission procedures. One change widely recommended by parties in this
rulemaking, which was also supported by Commissioner Florio from the dais during voting for
PG&E’s 2014 GRC, is to assign two ALJs for the processing of major rate cases. Without such a
change, there is little reason to hope that the schedule put forth in the Proposed Decision will
promote more timely decisions. Accordingly, the Proposed Decision should commit now to the
assignment of two ALJs for the major rate cases.
F. The Role of SED
The Proposed Decision needs to clarify that SED staff, or its consultants, will be subject
to discovery and made available to testify about their reports if the reports are to be made part of
the record. The Proposed Decision states, “On the issue of whether SED should have a witness
to sponsor and testify about the staff report if hearings are held in the RAMP application, that
issue should be left to the RAMP proceeding to decide.”11 This language wrongly suggests that
it may be appropriate to deny parties the ability to cross-examine SED staff or its consultants
about the contents of their reports. Any such suggestion would be incorrect.
As a matter of due process, persons sponsoring reports to be entered into the record as
evidence should be made available to testify and to respond to discovery. The United States
Supreme Court has found that, “[i]n almost every setting where important decisions turn on
questions of fact, due process requires an opportunity to confront and cross-examine adverse
witnesses.”12 Accordingly, the Proposed Decision should be modified to remove any suggestion
to the contrary.
G. The New Reporting Requirements
SCE and PG&E understand that the new reporting requirements will take effect after the
conclusion of the first GRC following the first S-MAP and RAMP proceedings for a given
Continued from the previous page 10 R.14-11-001. 11 Proposed Decision, pp. 36-37. Presumably, the same logic would apply to SED’s reports in the S-
MAP, and the SED and Energy Division reports in the GRC proceeding. Proposed Decision, pp. 26-27, and 45.

utility. This is consistent with the Proposed Decision’s acknowledgment that the “S-MAP and
RAMP proceedings [should] hold workshops on the types of information that needs to be
reported in these two reports, and the methodology that can be used to quantify and measure the
benefits of such mitigation plans and safety activities.”13 SCE and PG&E support such timing
for these new reports.
In the meantime, PG&E would expect to continue its annual budget reports and semi-
annual gas transmission and distribution safety reports, which were imposed in PG&E’s 2011
GRC and 2011 Gas Transmission and Storage (GT&S) proceeding.14 If the Proposed Decision
wishes to accelerate the timing of the new reports, the Commission should only do so after
replacing similar requirements already imposed upon the utilities such as those reports for PG&E
mentioned above.
II.
SCE-SPECIFIC ISSUES
SCE seeks clarification and guidance regarding the schedule of its first RAMP
Application. The Proposed Decision requires the utilities to file their GRC Applications on
November 1 and their RAMP Applications on October 1 of the preceding year.15 For SCE’s next
(2018) GRC, this would require that SCE file its RAMP on October 1, 2015. Further, Ordering
Paragraph 6 of the Proposed Decision would require that a RAMP be filed after a decision in the
S-MAP proceeding. As noted in Section I.A above, the first S-MAP proceeding, which begins
on May 1, 2015, would not complete in time for SCE to be able to submit its first RAMP
Application just five months later on October 1, 2015, as it may take over a year to reach a
decision in the initial S-MAP proceeding. Accordingly, SCE interprets the Proposed Decision as
not requiring SCE to submit its first RAMP in SCE’s 2018 GRC but, instead, requires that SCE
include in its 2018 GRC descriptions of the risk assessment and mitigation plans used in its GRC
13 Proposed Decision, p. 44. 14 D.11-05-018, Ordering Paragraphs 42 and 44. 15 Proposed Decision, p. 39.

application.16 SCE’s 2018 GRC application would be submitted on November 1, 2016 under the
terms of the Proposed Decision.
III.
PG&E-SPECIFIC ISSUES
PG&E seeks guidance in the schedule to be used for its 2017 GRC, as well as the
schedule to be followed in its GT&S rate cases.
A. 2017 GRC
The Proposed Decision recognizes that PG&E’s 2014 GRC was improved through the
involvement of technical consultants, hired by SED, to review PG&E’s showing.17 PG&E hopes
that SED will do the same for PG&E’s 2017 GRC. To the extent that the Commission is unable
to manage the costs of similar consultants for the 2017 case, PG&E would be amenable to
covering the costs of such consultants within previously authorized rates.
It is important to note, however, that in the 2014 GRC, the SED consultants began their
review prior in time to when the Proposed Decision would have PG&E filing its 2017 GRC.
Therefore, for the period of transition prior to when the S-MAP and RAMP procedures can be
fully implemented,18 PG&E recommends that the Commission adopt the schedule in the Table
below.

This schedule will allow for earlier involvement of SED consultants and is modeled after the
approach successfully followed by all parties in PG&E’s 2014 GRC. This schedule increases the
likelihood of a timely final decision, while also expanding the time for the preparation of SED’s,
ORA’s and the intervenors’ reports.
-10-
B. GT&S Rate Cases
The Proposed Decision is silent on the schedule to be followed for the submission of
PG&E’s Gas Transmission and Storage (GT&S) rate cases.19 PG&E recommends that the
Commission offer guidance in this area.
The S-MAP proceeding can address models and methodologies used for the work
covered in both the GRC and GT&S rate cases. Similarly, PG&E proposes that the RAMP –
filed prior to PG&E’s GRC – would address planned mitigation in the GT&S area. Then, PG&E
proposes to follow a schedule like that presented in the Table above for PG&E’s GT&S case.
The earlier start (in September compared to November) would better allow for a “refresh” on
mitigation covered by the RAMP, as well as SED review of the technical measures in the GT&S
filing.
IV.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, SCE and PG&E respectfully recommend that the Proposed
Decision be modified as described above.
PG&E has authorized SCE to sign this document on PG&E’s behalf.
19 The only reference to the GT&S rate case is to reaffirm the separation of the two cases. (Proposed
Decision, p. 38.)

Appendix A Proposed Revisions To Findings Of Fact, Conclusion Of Law And Order
A-1
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSION OF LAW AND ORDER
Findings of Fact
26. The purpose of the RAMP phase application filing will be to review the utility’s RAMP submission for consistency and compliance with its prior S-MAP, and to determine whether the elements contained in the RAMP submission can be used in the utility’s GRC filing to support its position on the assessment of its safety risks, and its plans to manage, mitigate and minimize those risks in the context of the utility’s upcoming GRC application filing. Conclusions of Law
6. PG&E, SDG&E, SoCalGas Company, and SCE, should transition to the use of the S-MAP, the RAMP proceeding, and adhere to the modified RCP schedule in all future GRC application filings. 10. A RAMP application process, as described in the Refined Straw Proposal and as clarified by this decision, should be adopted. 11. Revisions to the RAMP process recommended in the Refined Straw Proposal are necessary to conform to the Commission’s processes. 14. Today’s decision, which describes and adopts the parameters of the S-MAP and RAMP processes, does not prevent the assigned ALJs in either of those proceedings, from taking any other action to adjudicate the S-MAP application or the RAMP application. 16. The issue of whether the Commission needs to adopt certain terms and definitions in order to carry out the activities associated with the S-MAP and RAMP proceedings should be addressed in the S-MAP. Order 9. PG&E shall submit its 2017 GRC application on September 1, 2015. SCE shall submit its 2018 GRC application on November 1, 2016. Each subsequent GRC application will be submitted on November 1st of the year following the GRC base year and shall incorporate findings from the RAMP to the extent those findings are issued 120 or more days prior to the GRC application date.
