Most dealt with the emergenc= y=20 petitions for modification filed by Edison and PG&E and the data request fo= r=20 financial information which ALJ Minkin issued. This is the first, which we= nt=20 out on Monday: =20 SDG&E has filed an initial response to ALJ Minkin's Ruling which first=20 requests that the utility should not be subject to the information request= =20 which stemmed from the SCE and PG&E emergency petitions. If the Commission= =20 is unwilling to do so, the utility next informs the Commission of its=20 intention not to respond fully to the request. The crux of the opposition = is=20 as follows:=20 =20 "However, neither Rule 1 nor the Public Utilities Code require SDG&E to wai= ve=20 certain fundamental due process rights pertaining to its discovery=20 obligations. Specifically, simply because the information is requested in = an=20 ALJ ruling as opposed to alternative discovery mechanisms does not require= =20 SDG&E to produce confidential, proprietary, competitively sensitive=20 information belonging to its affiliates which information is neither=20 pertinent to a transaction between SDG&E and an affiliate nor in the=20 possession of SDG&E. A number of the informational demands in the ALJ Ruli= ng=20 fall squarely within this context and therefore are not appropriate for=20 discovery purposes." =20 The utility then states that: =20 "In an effort to cooperate with the Commission and the ALJ to provide for= =20 Commission inspection relevant information reasonably calculated to lead to= =20 the discovery of admissible evidence, SDG&E will provide affiliate=20 information responsive to the ALJ=01,s informational demands to the extent = that=20 the information relates to a transaction with SDG&E (i.e. falls within the= =20 scope of PUC section 314(b)), the information is public information (not=20 confidential and proprietary to the affiliate), or the information is a=20 matter of public record." =20 SDG&E responses to information demands a, b, c, d, f, g, i, k, q, and bb we= re=20 attached to the filing and will be provided to other parties who request th= em=20 (I have requested a copy be sent to us) [Note...it has arrived]. Finally,= =20 the utility then itemizes the following items of information which it will= =20 not provide: =20 "m. An itemization of funds paid to and amounts billed by the California PX= =20 by each utility affiliate for each month in 2000; n.

I have sent an email to= =20 their counsel asking for the status of those requests. Let me know if you= =20 want a copy of the SDG&E filing. =20 Dan
