whether customer incentives should be uniform or differentiated by locational value. Results of those considerations will have a direct effect on future demand response programs. The May 20, 2016 Ruling in this proceeding highlighted a recommendation from the Interim Report of the Demand Response Potential that the integration of demand response services with other services could lead to reduced costs, increased potential and decreased customer confusion. In comments, SDG&E observed that a holistic approach is needed and referenced the work being done in R.1410003. We agree that the competitive solicitation framework proposed in R.1410003 should be the methodology for the proposed integration, as it directly improves demand response programs by incentivizing the integration of different resources. On August 1, 2016, the Competitive Solicitation Framework Working Group in R.1410003 filed a report recommending details of seven aspects of the framework: 1) services to be bought and sold; 2) methodologies to count services provided and ensure no duplication; 3) solicitation rules or principles; 4) solicitation oversight needs; 5) solicitation evaluation methodology; 6) solicitation pro forma contracts; and 7) outreach plans. It is anticipated that the proposal for the framework brought forth by the Competitive Solicitation Framework Working Group will be considered by the Commission in the near future. Two rate reform proceedings, R.1206013 (residential rates only), and R.1512012, will work together to address issues related to time of use rates. Time of use rates and Critical Peak Pricing were reviewed in the Study as load modifying resources. Several parties call for the Commission to send
