Sellers of Energy and Ancillary Services Into Markets Operated by the California Independent System Operator and the California Power Exchange, Respondents. Investigation of Practices of the California Independent System Operator and the California Power Exchange; Notice Granting Motion to Defer Filing of Comments October 3, 2005. 1. On August 25, 2005, pursuant to the Order on Cost Recovery, Revising Procedural Schedule for Refunds, and Establishing Technical Conference,1 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) staff convened a technical conference to finalize the format of the uniform template for cost filings. Filing dates for responsive pleadings were established at the technical conference, with initial comments on cost filings being due on October 11, 2005, and reply comments being due October 17, 2005.2 On September 22, 2005, California Parties 3 filed a motion asking the Commission to allow them to defer filing their comments on the cost filing submitted by Enron Power Marketing, Inc., Enron Energy Services, Inc., and Enron North America Corp. (collectively, Enron). California Parties state that on August 24, 2005, they, along with Enron and other parties, filed a Joint Offer of Settlement with the Commission (Enron Settlement). California Parties state that approval of the Enron Settlement would obviate California Parties’ need to address Enron’s cost filing. California Parties note, however, that the Commission has not acted on the Enron Settlement, and may not rule on it prior to October 11, 2005, the date on which comments on cost filings are due. California Parties request permission to defer their filing of comments on Enron’s cost filing until 21 days after any unfavorable ruling on the Enron Settlement, so as to conserve BILLING CODE 6717–01–P 1 San Diego Gas & Electric Co. v.

On September 28, 2005, Enron filed an answer supporting California Parties’ motion. In addition, Enron requested an extension of time to file reply comments until nine days after the expiration of California Parties’ proposed revised comment period, if the Enron Settlement were rejected and California Parties were to file comments on Enron’s cost filing.6 3. We grant California Parties’ motion, and we extend to all signatories to the Enron Settlement permission to defer filing comments and reply comments on Enron’s cost filing until specified dates after the Commission rules on the Enron Settlement. California Parties and Enron aim to avoid devoting resources to a task that may prove unnecessary for them, and for all settling parties, if the Commission approves the Enron Settlement. Accordingly, we will allow California Parties and other Enron Settlement signatories to defer filing comments on Enron’s cost filing until 21 days after the issuance of any determination on the Enron Settlement. Similarly, we will allow Enron to defer filing a reply to any deferred comments until six days after the expiration date of the revised comment period. While Enron requested nine days to reply to California Parties’ comments because ‘‘[t]he cost recovery filing is complex, and, if history is any guide, the California Parties’ comments will be detailed and voluminous,’’ it would be inequitable to grant the additional three days.7 Under the current schedule, all other parties who made cost filings have six days to reply to California Parties’ comments on their cost filings, and Enron offers no justification why California Parties’ comments would be more extensive on Enron’s cost filing than any other cost filing. 4. Finally, we clarify that this deferral extends only to California Parties, Enron and all other signatories to the Enron Settlement. All remaining parties who intend to file comments on Enron’s cost filing must do so according to the 4 California Parties’ Motion at 4–5. at 5 n.8. 6 Enron’s Answer at 2. 7 Id. at 2. 5 Id.

    1. On August 25, 2005, pursuant to the Order on Cost Recovery,

convened a technical conference to finalize the format of the uniform

assert that, if the Commission were to grant the motion, it would also 
be appropriate to grant Enron a delayed six day reply comment period, 
consistent with the six day reply period in the current comment 
schedule.\5\ In addition, given the impending October 11, 2005 deadline

    2. On September 28, 2005, Enron filed an answer supporting 
California Parties' motion. In addition, Enron requested an extension 
of time to file reply comments until nine days after the expiration of 
California Parties' proposed revised comment period, if the Enron 
Settlement were rejected and California Parties were to file comments 
on Enron's cost filing.\6\

    3. We grant California Parties' motion, and we extend to all 
signatories to the Enron Settlement permission to defer filing comments 
and reply comments on Enron's cost filing until specified dates after 
the Commission rules on the Enron Settlement. California Parties and 
Enron aim to avoid devoting resources to a task that may prove 
unnecessary for them, and for all settling parties, if the Commission 
approves the Enron Settlement. Accordingly, we will allow California 
Parties and other Enron Settlement signatories to defer filing comments 
on Enron's cost filing until 21 days after the issuance of any 
determination on the Enron Settlement. Similarly, we will allow Enron 
to defer filing a reply to any deferred comments until six days after 
the expiration date of the revised comment period. While Enron 
requested nine days to reply to California Parties' comments because 
``[t]he cost recovery filing is complex, and, if history is any guide, 
the California Parties' comments will be detailed and voluminous,'' it 
would be inequitable to grant the additional three days.\7\ Under the 
current schedule, all other parties who made cost filings have six days 
to reply to California Parties' comments on their cost filings, and 
Enron offers no justification why California Parties' comments would be 
more extensive on Enron's cost filing than any other cost filing.

Settlement. All remaining parties who intend to file comments on 
Enron's cost filing must do so according to the

Similarly, Enron must file any response to those comments by October

proceeding as expeditiously as possible, which includes completing its 
review of all cost filings, including Enron's, according to the
