Regarding issue two (2), D.1705014 “defer(ed) to Phase II a broader consideration of communities with at least 25 percent CAREeligible customers but less than 25 percent enrollment,” and indicated that six of the sixteen communities identified by the Leadership Counsel may meet this criteria. The Data Working Group subsequently indicated that one of these six, Snelling, was not located within seven miles of a natural gas pipeline, a requirement of Section 783.5. Of the remaining five, PG&E and the Pilot Team agree that 25 percent of Monterey Park Tract residents are eligible for CARE, if not currently enrollede have insufficient information at this time to confirm if thefour communities (Ballico, Cowan Tract, Del Rio, and Lemon Cove CDP) meet Section 783.5 criteria. It seems important that the data gathering effort collects sufficient information on these four communities to determine if 25 percent of residents of these communities are CAREeligible but not enrolled. Without this information, it is premature to add the communities to the SJV DAC list. Therefore, lthough we decline to add thefour communities to the SJV DAC list, we do designate them as within the geographic scope of Plan. PG&E shall reflect this in the Plan and shall ensure that the contractor’s Work Plan is sufficient to determine if 25 percent of residents in these communities are CAREeligible but not enrolled. As part of Plan activities, PG&E and the Plan contractor shall update the database summarizing current information on the list of SJV DAC communities and shall include PDF and excel versions of this in the final Plan report. PG&E and the Plan contractor shall more generally work to ensure that the Plan improves data on residents’ eligibility for and access to Utility natural gas and/or electric services, including in communities where a majority of residents appear to be served by municipal electric or gas utilities.
