On March 17, 2016, the Commission adopted D.16-03-013 granting in part and denying in part the complaint and resolving outstanding motions. D.16-03-013 resolved all the substantive disputes in this proceeding. However, on February 16, 2016, the assigned Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) issued a ruling directing Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) to show cause why it should not be sanctioned by the Commission for violation of Rule 1.1 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. For this reason, D.16-03-013 determined that this proceeding shall remain open in order to resolve those issues. The presiding officer’s decision is expected to be issued in April 2017. Therefore, this proceeding cannot be completed by April 13, 2017 and an extension of time for an additional six months is necessary. This order extends the time for completion of this proceeding until October 13, 2017. Waiver of Comment Period Under Rule 14.6(c)(4) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure, the Commission may waive the otherwise applicable 30-day period for public review and comment on a decision that extends the 12-month deadline set forth in Pub. Util. Code § 1701.2(e). Under the circumstances of this case, it is appropriate to waive the 30-day period for public review and comment. Assignment of Proceeding Martha Guzman Aceves is the assigned Commissioner and Stephen C. Roscow is the assigned ALJ and presiding officer in this proceeding. Findings of Fact The Commission has issued several decisions extending the 12-month statutory deadline in this proceeding. Most recently, D.16-09-060 further extended the 12-month statutory deadline to April 13, 2017.
