CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT DOCUMENT
PER CPUC RULE 51 ALL PARTIES: Based on feedback from a number of parties, we have decided to postpone next week's Gas Accord II Workshop. The Workshops previously scheduled for January 10-11, 2001, and January 24-25, 2001, will not be held. We tentatively plan on holding the next Workshops on February 7-8, and February 21-22, 2001. We request that you pencil in these dates on your calendars. We will confirm these dates later, hopefully by next week, once we learn the procedural schedule for the ongoing Rate Stabilization hearings before the CPUC. The Gas Accord II Workshop on February 7-8 (tentative dates) will be informational in nature, and will focus on reviewing and explaining PG&E's comprehensive Gas Accord II Settlement Proposal, which was distributed by e-mail on December 21, 2000. We then propose to use the following Workshop, scheduled for February 21-22 (tentative dates), to receive specific feedback from parties, and engage in detailed, substantive discussions. Attached below is a revised schedule for suggested workshop dates and timing, beginning with the tentative February 7-8 Informational Workshop. We continue to believe that PG&E must be in a position file an application with the Commission - either a settlement or PG&E's litigation case - no later than the middle of this calendar year. The mid-year filing date is necessary in order to allow sufficient time for the Commission to consider the issues and render a decision, and for PG&E to implement the decision by December 31, 2002, which is the date the current Gas Accord, OFO and Gas OII settlements effectively end. Between now and the upcoming February Workshops, we encourage Parties to continue to review the December 21 Settlement Proposal, and to contact us with any questions and concerns. PG&E representatives also will be available to meet with Parties individually, or in small groups, to go over the Settlement Proposal in detail, prior to the February Workshops. The purpose of such smaller sessions will not be to negotiate any details, but only to explain the PG&E Settlement Proposal, and respond to questions. Please feel free to contact either of us, and we can make the necessary arrangements for such a meeting. We appreciate all the input various parties have provided regarding the scheduling issues, and we hope this revised schedule is responsive to your concerns.
