supporting the Staff Proposal address whether semi-annual updates would be sufficient for other information contained in the report. 2.17. Item 17 of Staff Proposal: GO 77-M GO 77-M requires utilities to file annual reports on employee compensation, dues, donations, subscriptions, contributions, and legal fees. Electric and gas corporations with gross annual operating revenues of $1 billion or more are required to file employee compensation reports on or before May 31 of each year. All other public utilities subject to GO 77-M are required to file employee compensation reports on or before March 31 of each year. All public utilities subject to GO 77-M with gross annual operating revenues of $500,000 or more are required to file reports on dues, donations, subscriptions, contributions, and legal fees on or before March 31 of each year. Item 17 of the Staff Proposal recommends harmonizing the filing dates of the GO 77-M reports so that all of the reports are due on May 31 of each year. In their SFI comments, PG&E, SCE, SoCalGas, and SDG&E recommended harmonizing the filing dates based on the fact that utilities routinely request from the Commission and are granted extensions of the March 31 filing due date to May 31. The Staff Proposal states that harmonizing the filing dates would eliminate the need for the annual extension requests, thereby reducing the administrative burden on Commission and utility staff. Parties commenting on this item were supportive of the staff’s recommendation. Given that extension requests to May 31 are routinely requested and granted, we adopt Staff’s recommendation to change the filing date for all the GO 77-M reports to May 31. With the adoption of these new filing dates, we expect that no further extension requests will be necessary.
