Council (CCC) submitted for filing, on behalf of itself and its member 
companies, a Petition for an Enforcement Action pursuant to Section 
210(h)(2)(B) of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 
(PURPA), 16 U.S.C. 824a-3(h)(2)(B) (2000), and Rule 207 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207.
    CCC alleges that Decision 01-03-067, issued by the California 
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) on March 27, 2001 (Decision), 
violates PURPA Section 210, 16 U.S.C. 824a-3 which requires, inter 
alia, that rates for purchases from QFs shall not exceed incremental 
cost to the utility, nor shall those rates discriminate against 
qualifying cogenerators or small power producers. The CPUC decision 
changes the formula by which avoided cost rates are calculated. This 
change violates PURPA, CCC alleges, for three reasons: (i) QFs will 
receive less than their full avoided, or incremental, costs for power 
produced; (ii) the Decision results in discrimination against QFs as 
compared to wholesalers and investor-owned utilities, particularly 
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and (iii) the Decision discourages 
cogeneration and is not in the public interest. CCC asks this 
Commission to institute an enforcement action and take prompt action to 
grant relief to the QFs from the Decision.
    Comment date: May 7, 2001, in accordance with Standard Paragraph E 
at the end of this notice.
