By suspension, the commission means that the appropriate portions of the tariffs are withdrawn. As a result, the UDCs will not bill customers for penalties nor track them for potential future payment. The order continues by stating that the UDC can continue to notify customers of times when an interruptible curtailment would occur. The Commission expects such customers to do so to the extent feasible. But if they don't, there will be no penalty. The rationale behind the order was that customers on interruptible rate schedules have been faced with an increasingly irreconcilable dilemma; either curtail their electric service or pay large penalties, "either of which cause increasingly deleterious effects on themselves and the California economy." If you have any quesitons about the order, give me a call. Jeanne
