New Motor Vehicle Board (Zaheri) (1997) 55 Cal.App.4th 1305, 1319, the Court spoke of the harm that secret ex parte communications could have on the requirement of due process: When an administrative adjudicator uses evidence outside the record there is a denial of a fair hearing because, as to that evidence, there has been no hearing at all, for the disadvantaged party has not been heard. (Citations omitted.) If a trialtype hearing is required by due process of law (see 2 Davis & Pierce, Administrative Law Treatise (3d ed. 1994) § 9.5, pp. 4361), its deprivation a fortiori violates the due process precept. The prohibitions against improper ex parte communications are measures imposed to avert this kind of due process violation. Proper adherence to the rules regarding the avoidance of improper ex parte communications, as well as the duty to report such communications, assures the parties and the public that the decisionmakers have comported themselves in an impartial manner. (See Zaheri, supra, 55 Cal.App.4th at 1319; D.0707020, 22.) When an ex parte violation has been found, “the Commission has broad authority under the Public Utilities Code to impose such penalties and sanctions, or make any other order, as it deems appropriate to ensure the integrity of the formal record and to protect the public interest.” The Commission may consider if sanctions should be imposed pursuant to Pub. Util. Cod §§ 701, 2107, 2108, and Rule 1.1 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. As such, it is the Commission’s duty, even in the context of considering whether to approve a Settlement Agreement, to weigh the fundamental policy goals behind the Commission’s ex parte rules to determine if the settlement terms are both a sufficient penalty and a deterrent against such conduct occurring in the future.

targets and indications (now law), that the RPS would increase to 50 percent by 2030. Sierra Club argued that the value of the fossil fuel resources SCE planned to procure would be worth significantly less under a 50% RPS scenario (only ½ way through the contract life) and that SCE should therefore procure only its fossil fuel minimum. Decision 15-11-051 ultimately found it reasonable for SCE to rely on 33% RPS given that was in place at the time of contracting. (Testimony of Robert Fagan on Behalf of Sierra Club; Sierra Club Opening Br. 17-18) MWs of capacity each should be rejected, and that SCE should procure a smaller 360 MW facility in their place. Sierra Club, as addressed above, also requests the Commission to reject Stanton.” (Decision p. 26.) “Sierra Club’s argument is based on the fact that SCE’s procurement assumed future requirements at 33 percent RPS, and did not study the sensitivity of the resource value for GFG at higher renewable levels. Therefore, according to Sierra Club, the economic benefit of a combined cycle was overstated in the SCE RFO process and the economic value of in front of the meter Energy Storage was understated. It would make more sense, states Sierra Club, given the state’s increasing interest in a higher requirement for renewables resources, to procure the minimum required GFG or 1,000 MW.” (Decision pp. 26-27.) “Regardless of whether circumstances have changed since the issuance of D.13-02-015 and D.14-03-004, and even if the political landscape is solidly looking toward 50 percent renewables, we find SCE acted reasonably in relying on a 33 percent scenario and contracting for the proposed amount of GFG.” (Decision pp. 28-29.)

SoCalGas projects that the currently approved inventory at Aliso Canyon will be reached in June 2018. This has a number of undesirable effects on the system.

To ensure customers are provided with safe and reliable service, SDG&E should use the RFP process to select qualified contractors that meet pre-defined requirements to install the EVSE and any make-ready infrastructure on the customer side of the meter. Customers can then choose one of the qualified installers through SDG&E’s Marketplace website. SDG&E would not own any installed infrastructure on the customer’s side of the meter, nor would SDG&E ratebase this investment. SDG&E should ensure that all participating installers meet safety requirements, provide proof they are licensed, insured, bonded, and provide a minimum warranty for their work. The ACR requested parties to this proceeding to provide information opposing or supporting the adoption of a standard vehicle-grid-integration (VGI) communications protocol to ensure utility-supported infrastructure does not become obsolete when the state has a viable, economic vehicle-to-grid market established. SDG&E did not propose to adopt a standard communication protocol for its RCP. As directed by the ACR and § 740.2, § 740.3(e), and § 8362, the CPUC worked with CEC, CARB, CAISO, and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, to convene a working group in 2017 to evaluate the existing communication protocols for VGI. The working group, comprised of more than 150 international stakeholders, considered all communications protocols currently in use to communicate pricing signals and responses to pricing signals between the utility or other energy provider and the EV. Based on the deliverables created by the working group, Energy Division staff determined it is premature to require the ratepayer-supported infrastructure include a specific protocol, but recommended a set of minimum hardware requirements be considered for certain applications of EVSE. Those minimum

We also know, according to the law of conservation of mass, that all the carbon in CxHyOz had to go to CO2 and all the hydrogen in CxHyOz had to go to H2O. Now, what to do with that knowledge!!! Tip: if they give you measurements that go out to 1/1000 place—make sure to NOT do much preliminary rounding! Let’s start with determining how much carbon is in the CO2: Next, how much hydrogen in water: We get the oxygen, by what is left in compound: 3.489-(2.136 + .2136) =1.139 g Oxygen 2.136 g C 0.2136 g H 1.139 g O An industrial method to produce elemental zinc from its ore is to “roast” the crude ore in oxygen and then react the oxide with CO. the following reactions describe the chemical process: (aside-- what else could we call this first reaction?) Step 1: 2ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 Step 2: ZnO + CO → Zn + CO2 Na2CO3 . nH2O → Na2O + CO2 + nH2O. A student heats 3.9727 grams of the hydrate and collects 0.6039 grams of CO2. what is the amount of water in the original sample We cannot approach this the way we have in previous examples. AP exam is absolutely the best at taking a problem you are familiar with and approaching it from a slightly different angle. How do you know it is a new angle? Well, when you try old ways -- they don’t work! What we know: From BCE 1 mole hydrate will decompose to form 1 mole of CO2. So, let’s determine how many moles of CO2 we have.

identification registration authority and denial and/or suspension of its California LifeLine disbursements. Safety Considerations Staff has safety concerns in two main areas of wireless phone service: the coverage of wireless mobile phone service and the ability of emergency first responders to find the location of the caller when using a mobile phone. Where there is a lack of coverage, poor signal strength, or atmospheric or terrain conditions that affect connections, emergency calls may not be completed. In rural areas, for example, with spotty connectivity or interference (e.g. due to geographic or structural obstacles), wireless mobile resellers of wholesale facilities service cannot guarantee full, accessible emergency connections for their own customers. An incomplete emergency call can have devastating results. Given that safety and emergency communications are common concerns for all of California’s wireless customers, Staff requires that EZ Reach fully and clearly inform prospective California LifeLine participants that coverage limitations may affect wireless mobile phone service access to E-911 and/or 911 in the event of an emergency. Such disclosures include, but are not limited to, clear statements on marketing materials and conspicuous placement on the public website in the form of information content on webpages, footnotes, and/or listings on a frequently asked questions (FAQ) webpage. Future Changes to Designated Service Areas As a California LifeLine provider, EZ Reach is authorized to provide California LifeLine prepaid wireless services throughout the state without geographic restrictions, excluding federally-recognized Tribal lands. However, regarding future changes that EZ Reach may want to make to its service areas in California, Staff requires that the company file a Tier 2 advice letter that describes the areas to be served, a list of geographic service areas, and a map in Shapefile format of the proposed area. Conclusions In light of the above discussions, Staff recommends that the Commission: Approve EZ Reach’s request to be authorized as a California LifeLine service provider to provide prepaid wireless services to qualifying households where its underlying carriers, Sprint and T-Mobile, provide wireless service in California, excluding federally-recognized Tribal lands.
SUMMARY ALLEGED UEB verified the State Controller’s findings in its audit report. UEB alleges the following violations: The NIU Coalition failed to provide supporting documentation and information necessary to determine that expenses reimbursed with CASF grant funds were not also reimbursed from the Coalition’s other funding sources. The NIU Coalition failed to maintain and produce documentation necessary to verify that all expenses claimed were in fact spent in accordance with program requirements. The NIU Coalition failed to produce documents and provide information to the data request from the Commission’s Utility Enforcement Branch. The NIU Coalition failed to implement program activities consistent with the terms of their CASF Grant (i.e. provide 40-hour training; deliver training to 790 parents/year; conduct enough workshops at the rate provided). The NIU Coalition misled the Commission by failing to inform the Commission of reducing parent training to at or around 20 hours but yet reporting in their Work Plans that they had provided 40 hour training programs. The KCCD received $46,621 of CASF funds for unallowable administrative costs. The KCCD failed to fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities. The NIU Coalition refused to comply with the Communication Division’s demand letter to return CASF funds to the Commission. The table below summarizes relevant figures referred to in UEB’s investigation: CASF Grant Payments Total CASF Grant Awarded by the Commission $ 450,000.00
