Please note the two times for this workshop. The CPUC Training Room needs to be used for
other purposes during the 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. lunch hour; therefore, no belongings can be left

Workshop Notice
September 26, 2002 California Public Utilities Commission
9 am – 4 pm Training Room
505 Van Ness Avenue
San Francisco
The Telecommunications Division staff (staff) will conduct a workshop pursuant to Commission
Decision (D.) 02-06-072 in Rulemaking 02-02-020. D.02-06-072 implemented the current
acceptable 3% error rate for telephone connections made by predictive dialers (PDs) for which no
agent or telemarketer is available to speak to the person called. By D.02-06-072 the Commission
also established related, interim record-keeping requirements. The workshop will address: 1)
further requirements for record-keeping on these PD connections; 2) methods for educating
consumers about do-not-call registers and other means to discourage unwanted calls; 3) the
feasibility of accomplishing the 1% acceptable error rate in PD use that is scheduled to become
the new standard on January 1, 2003, and; 4) whether a revised acceptable error rate for PD use
should be made effective January 1, 2003, or on some later date.
Within 20 days of the close of the workshop, staff will file and serve its workshop
recommendations to the Commission. Comments on these recommendations may be filed and
served by other parties 10 days thereafter. A workshop agenda is available by clicking here:

party meeting in San Francisco. Also present were Manuel Ramirez, advisor to Cmmr.
Wood, Antonio Alvarez, Manager, Utility Electric Portfolio Management, PG&E, and
other attendees listed on the attachment to the notice. Stock noted that it is imperative
to put into place the right rules for interim procurement now in order to take advantage
of current market conditions, to be able to work with the California Department of
Water Resources before its authority expires. Stock noted that the alternate of Cmmr.
Peevey, with a few suggested changes, would strike the right balance of regulation and
procurement efficiency. Stock suggested that the proposed and alternate decisions by
ALJ Walwyn and Pres. Lynch, respectively, will not allow for the needed procurement
to be accomplished in time.
