pressures low enough to suggest a close circulation existed. The two most notable examples of this are a 20 kt/1006 mb ob at 1800 UTC 16 September and a 15 kt/1005 mb at 0000 UTC 17 September. In addition for the 1800 UTC 16 September hand-plotted map, it is unclear how many valid tropical-storm winds are actually plotted there. Three such winds are colored in, but there is a penciled in comment saying “one good gale”. If these low pressure obs are reliable enough to show that a closed circulation existed, then please re-write the submission as a possible new tropical storm. Several ships do indicate a low enough pressure that a closed circulation would have to existed. In addition, there are at least a few legitimate gales while the system had a closed circulation (and was non-baroclinic throughout its entire lifecycle). Thus the system has been rewritten to indicate a new tropical storm. 4. Suspect #9: Please note somewhere in the submission that the reconnaissance aircraft reported 1006 mb on 2 October. Done. 4. The committee concurs with leaving the remainder of the suspect systems out of HURDAT. Agreed.

And a blue one and a yellow one, And they're all made out of ticky tacky And they all look just the same. The song “Little Boxes,” written by Melvina Reynolds, while on her way through a San Francisco suburb, was an homage to the conservative lifestyles that the Americans of the late 50s and early 60s integrated into their culture. The song is about a community of people that are made of “ticky tacky,” a substance that is weak in not only substance but also in quality. Reynolds was commenting on the flimsy and seemingly fake nature of the late 50’s way of life. This song is important due to its commentary of the social aspects of the 1950s. The average family in the 50’s was made up of a father, a mother, and around children. The mother would tend to the children and the house while waiting for her husband to return from work for their family meal. Life was centered around the family; this included spending time playing board games and listening to the radio. The role of the woman in this lifestyle was difficult, being a full time mother, cleaning the house, and cooking three meals a day was difficult, yet became easier with inventions such as more advanced coolers and dishwashers. Along with these more practical inventions came an influx of gadgets such as the juicer, automatic can opener, Hi-fi radio, etc. etc. These sparkly new items kindled the ever growing fire of consumerism as a result of the effect of World War I. Conformism, consumerism, and materialism put the people of the 1950’s into “little boxes” where they all strived for the same things, went to the same universities, had the same jobs, and eventually they all came out “just the same.” Reynolds commentary on the average family's lifestyle stems from her upbringing, although she did end up forging her own pathway and becoming a successful musician, singer, and songwriter. The catchy tune and upbeat music that goes with the song paints the family life as somewhat of a joke, calling attention to, what eight

above the tracks of Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). There were no protests or objections filed to the Application. A telephonic prehearing conference (PHC) was held on April 28, 2017 with participation by the City’s Public Works Director, outside counsel for the City and two members of the Commission’s Safety and Enforcement Division’s Rail Crossing Engineering Branch (RCEB). UPRR did not participate in the PHC. RCEB staff informed the judge that RCEB staff had contacted UPRR, and were informed that UPRR had knowledge of the application and were aware of the project, but did not receive notice of the PHC. By Ruling dated April 28, 2017, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) ordered counsel for the City to provide contact information for UPRR so that they would receive a copy of the Scoping Memorandum and would have an opportunity to join the proceeding as a party should they file a motion to do so. On May 15, 2017, the assigned Commissioner issued a Scoping Memo and Ruling (Scoping Memo), which set forth the procedural schedule and addressed the scope of the proceeding. The Scoping Memo determined the following issues to be within the scope of this proceeding: Whether the City should be authorized to construct the South Bayfront Pedestrian Bicycle Bridge above UPRR’s tracks in Emeryville? Whether the bridge design proposed by the City is in compliance with the Commission’s GO-26-D? Whether the project is exempt from CEQA? The Scoping Memo concluded that there were no disputed issues of material fact requiring an evidentiary hearing. On June 22, 2017, the ALJ issued further ruling ordering RCEB to file a summary of its review of the Project, confirmation of its conclusion that the Project
Using PG&E’s metric for savings, A4NR’s efforts will have been if the time needed for wet storage is reduced by 2 hours. By contributing to the Commission’s preference for a 7-year planning assumption over PG&E’s asserted 10-year (down from 12 years in the last NDCTP) requirement, reducing costs by nearly $197 million, A4NR’s intervention has already produced ratepayer benefits far in excess of the amount of this compensation request. b. Reasonableness of hours claimed: Due to the limitations A4NR agreed to in the Joint Proposal for the Retirement of Diablo Canyon, A4NR’s participation in this proceeding was surgically focused on remedying PG&E’s inattention to wet storage requirements during the pre-shutdown period. A4NR coordinated its efforts with TURN to avoid duplication, and expended a minimal number of hours to accomplish its carefully targeted objective. Verified c.

1956 Storm #11, Greta: 1. Please remove the reference to the eastern Pacific monsoon trough in the metadata summary. Agreed. 2. Has the Meteorological Services of Cuba and the Bahamas been contacted for any information they have on this system? The Meteorological Services of Cuba and the Bahamas have no additional information regarding the tropical depression stage of Greta. 3. The Committee concurs with a later genesis time. However, there are conflicting signals of when that should be. Could 0000 or 0600 UTC 31 October be a more appropriate time give the apparent circulation near the eastern end of Cuba at that time? Or could it be later, since the rawinsonde launch from the ship “Crawford” suggests the system was still cold core near that time? Agreed to begin genesis at 00Z on the 31st given the circulation apparent near the eastern end of Cuba. 4. Please re-examine the existing and proposed central pressure of 992 mb at 0000 UTC 2 November. The NHRP catalog shows two flight into Greta around 2100 UTC that day, with a “synoptic” mission around 2100 UTC 1 November. It needs to be determined which of these missions observed the 992 mb pressure. Despite a thorough search at archives at NHC, HRD, NOAA library, and the tropical storm email list, no additional observations have become available from NHRP research missions. Given that there was a pre-existing 992 mb central pressure in HURDAT at 00Z on the 2nd, it would stand to reason that it was the synoptic mission late on the 1st which measured this pressure. 5. The 1500 UTC 3 November microfilm map has three ships with pressures of 989-990 mb. The 1800 UTC map has two ships of 987-988 mb. Please mention these at some appropriate point in the metadata. All of these (and dozens more) had already been hand digitized and included into the excel database. One ship at each time has now been added into the daily summary. 6. Please re-examine some of the intensities on 3-4 November. The 1200 UTC 3 November intensity is based on a reconnaissance pressure of 982 mb, and 60 kt was chosen as the intensity due to the large size and low environmental pressures. At 0000 UTC 4 November a ships with 986 mb and 40 kt (also suggesting a 982 mb pressure) was used as the basis for a 65 kt intensity estimate. Why the inconsistency?
a scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The amounts claimed are further conservative for the following reasons: (1) No time is claimed for internal coordination, only for substantive policy development; (2) we do not claim time for substantive review by NRDC staff other than the active staff noted above, even though their expertise was critical to ensuring productive recommendations; and (3) we claim no time for travel. In addition, the rates requested by NRDC are purposefully conservative and low on the ranges approved by the Commission, even though the levels of expertise would justify higher rates. NRDC maintained detailed time records indicating the number of hours that were devoted to proceeding activities. All hours represent substantive work related to this proceeding. In sum, NRDC made numerous and significant contributions on behalf of environmental and customer interests, required research and analysis. We took every effort to coordinate with other stakeholders to reduce duplication and increase the overall efficiency of the proceeding. Since our work was efficient, hours extremely conservative, and billing rates low, NRDC’s request for compensation should be granted in full. c.

Task 4. Community Storage The GPI provided detailed information about the hurdles to the development of community energy-storage systems. Decision declines to enact reforms at this point in time in the rules governing community storage systems, on the basis that the current record is not sufficiently developed to support the adoption of new rules. The GPI made a substantial contribution on this issue by enriching the record on this issue, and we look forward to continuing to provide information on community storage systems as the proceeding proceeds, so that rules can be adopted in the not too distant future. Decision Participation in the third application is hindered by the lack of program rules, but the current record does not provide a basis to adopt rules at this time. pg. 59.] Pleadings In terms of hurdles to community energy, we discuss in some detail the interconnection issues facing community energy and DER more generally and suggest some ways in which the Commission could improve matters.

PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA Legal Division San Francisco, California Date: September 14, 2017 Resolution No. L-545 R E S O L U T I O N RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING DISCLOSURE OF THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION SAFETY AND ENFORCEMENT DIVISION’S RECORDS OF ITS INVESTIGATION OF AN ELECTRICAL INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED AT 52 ALMOND AVENUE IN LOS ALTOS, CA ON NOVEMBER 25, 2013 ONCE THE INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED BACKGROUND The California Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”) received a request seeking disclosure of all Commission records concerning the Commission’s investigation of an electrical incident that occurred at 52 Almond Avenue in Los Altos, CA on November 25, 2013 (“the incident”). The Commission staff could not make the investigation records public without the formal approval of the full Commission. The request is treated as an appeal to the full Commission for release of the requested records pursuant to Commission General Order (G.O.) 66C § 3.4. DISCUSSION The requested records are “public records” as defined by the California Public Records Act (“CPRA”). The California Constitution, the CPRA, and discovery law favor disclosure of public records. The public has a constitutional right to access most government information. Statutes, court rules, and other authority limiting access to information must be broadly construed if they further the people’s right of access, and narrowly construed if they limit the right of access. New statutes, court rules, or other authority that limit the right of access must be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need to protect that interest. The CPRA provides that an agency must base a decision to withhold a public record in response to a CPRA request upon the specified exemptions listed in the CPRA, or a showing that, on the facts of a particular case, the public interest in confidentiality clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

As noted previously, the CPUC relies on Form 477 data for determining broadband availability on the California Broadband Availability Map, for assessing competition and reviewing proposed mergers and implementing the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF), among other uses. The FCC opened this Docket in 2011 in order to review the need to modernize the Form 477 data program in this rapidly changing industry. The CPUC submitted comments in this proceeding in 2011, outlining various proposed revisions to the Form 477 data collection program. With this FNPRM, the FCC hopes to improve the value of the data collected, eliminate unnecessary requirements, and align data more closely with actual consumer experience. Discussion AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the CPUC file comments on the following issues: Supporting Annual Reporting to Reduce Delays in Releasing Data In the FNPRM, the FCC requests input on whether the filing requirement should be changed from every six months to once per year. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends that the CPUC support changing the frequency of Form 477 filings from semi-annual to annual. We expect this change in frequency will lead to quicker access for state commissions. Historically, the CPUC has experienced significant delays in obtaining California-specific Form 477 data from the FCC. For example, as of August 21, 2017, the latest California Form 477 subscription data set available to us contains data as of June 30, 2016, already more than a year old. Reducing this delay is important, as the CPUC relies on this data to study market competition and for reviewing mergers and acquisitions, broadband deployment grants, legislative analyses, and public purpose program planning. While a grant recipient of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s State Broadband Initiative, the CPUC was able to hire additional limited term staff to assist with collecting broadband data on a semi-annual basis. However, after that funding ended, the CPUC no longer was able to retain those positions. The CPUC chose to continue collecting this information, but only on an annual basis, because of reduced staff resources. If the FCC does not have sufficient staff resources to collect and disseminate the Form 477 data in a prompt manner, requiring providers file on an annual basis, instead of every six months, may reduce the data processing burden and improve the timeliness of its publication. Additionally, the FCC should require service providers to file Form 477 submissions with

Top Secret., Printed for the War Cabinet, 6 June 1944. P.H.P. (44) 13 (O) Final., Copy No. 2 WAR CABINET. Post-Hostilities Planning Sub-Committee EFFECT OF SOVIET POLICY ON BRITISH STRATEGIC INTERESTS. Report by the Sub-Committee 1. We were instructed to appreciate the probable long-term impact of the policy of the U.S.S.R. on British strategic interests, with the object of formulating basic principles on which the Chiefs of Staff should found their military advice when called upon to express an opinion upon questions of policy affecting the U.S.S.R. We were told that the basis of this appreciation should be that it remains the policy of His Majesty’s Government to foster and maintain the friendliest possible relations with the U.S.S.R.. 2. Our full appreciation is attached, and our conclusions are set out below. These have been prepared in close consultation with the Foreign Office, and have taken account of all available evidence of Russia’s post-war intentions. It should be noted, however, that no attempt has been made to deal with the possibility that Soviet Russia might attempt to extend her influence over Western Europe and thus dominate the whole continent. Nor has any attempt been made to deal with the possibility that the Russia of the future, as a result of the development of Siberia, might attempt to dominate the continent of Asia. Obviously, if either of these situations were to arise, there would be a serious threat to British interests, but the evidence at present available does not in any way suggest that the desire for the wholesale domination of this sort is in the mind of the Soviet leaders or their people.

Germany as a bulwark against herself. Especially is this assumption safe during the first five years or more after the war, while Russia must herself repair the damage she has suffered and further exploit her own internal resources in order to render herself invulnerable against all comers. […] 8. The remedy is the continuance of the closest possible degree of with the Soviet Government, especially in all that concerns Germany, and the avoidance so far as possible of all signs of friendship for Germany or weakness towards her. No doubt we in this country, and more still the Americans, will find it difficult to agree with all the Russian draconian ideas about the treatment of Germany. When such cases arise we must do our best to meet the Russians half-way and should be at pains to explain convincingly to them the reasons for our disagreement. 9. We must also be careful in all our dealings with other European countries, and especially the countries of Eastern Europe, to give the Soviet Government no cause to think we are building up a bloc against her. For the Soviet Government would rightly consider that such a bloc would inevitably sooner or later require German co-operation. […] ANNEX 3. Central Europe. [1]. THE main Soviet interest in Central Europe is to prevent conditions returning in which Germany will again be an actual or potential threat to Russian security and in which Central European States between Germany and Russia will be faced with the choice of either co-operation with or being overrun by Germany and so ceasing to exist as independent nations. The maintenance of the independence of Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Austria against German infiltration, and the linking up of at least the first three within the Russian security system in Eastern Europe is as vital an interest of the Soviet Government: as is the independence of the Western European States to us. Russia has hitherto shown
The Deputy Commander was shocked and upset that regulations had not been adhered to, as stated in The Fire Service Act. It was quite some time before he accepted that it was the sensible thing to have done. As the years passed by John has become a worthy member of the Fire Service in Ohope, rising through the ranks to be appointed Chief Fire Officer. 19.04.82 All Fire Service Brigades throughout New Zealand have been granted a canteen license. 07.08.82 Our second Gold Star evening was held at the Rugby Club. Sub/Officer Secretary Gordon Harris was presented with his Gold Star by past president of the U.F.B.A D.C.F.O. Lloyd Dennis (Whakatane Board Mills) Gold Star pin by D.C.F.O. Murray McCrae (Edgecumbe) representing the Auckland Gold Star Association. Brigades Life Honorary Member Medal by C.F.O. Tom Dobson. 23.04.83 Commenced working bees to concrete and fence the backyard of the fire station. Special words of appreciation were conveyed to our next-door neighbours The Ministry of Works staff, they removed the soil (mostly sand) and constructed the rock retaining walls, free of cost. 16.05.83 Extracts from the C.F.O. Report - at the 20th A.G.M “Our social facilities are not being used as often as I had hoped, I suggest that a social committee could be formed of at least 3 members of the brigade, plus members of the ladies committee. Also give some thought to forming a Brigade Social Club with the possibility of including a limited number of the community as members, such as friends and relatives. It is pleasing to note that some of the ladies have commenced a games afternoon here in this room once a fortnight and all residences are welcome”. 18.07.83 As previously mentioned radio contact could not be established in most parts of our district, the Chief started demanding a better deal and made the comment that we could possibly save some ones life by having quick communications for assistance. We have only one set, which is in the appliance and what we want is a base set in our watchroom
