1 Lee Schavrien Director Regulatory Case Management and Tariff Administration 101 Ash Street San Diego, CA Tel: Fax: Pager: September 22, 2000 SoCalGas Advice No (U 904 G) Public Utilities Commission of the State of California Subject: Elimination of Schedule G-ICMA Sempra Energy, on behalf of Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), hereby submits for approval by the California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) revisions to SoCalGas' tariff schedules, applicable throughout its service territory, as shown on Attachment B. Purpose The purpose of this advice letter is 1) to inform the Commission that SoCalGas is discontinuing the presently authorized Interconnect Charge Memorandum Account (ICMA) Surcharge effective October 1, 2000, 2) to request Commission approval to adjust revenue requirements for any remaining outstanding balance in the ICMA in conjunction with SoCalGas next Biennial Cost Allocation Proceeding (BCAP), and 3) to request Commission approval to eliminate tariff Schedule No. G-ICMA, Interconnect Charge Memorandum Account. Information Advice No was filed on June 30, 1999, and supplemented by Advice No A on August 31, 1999, to revise Schedule No. G-ITC by eliminating all references to the ICMA Surcharge, to create a new tariff schedule, Schedule No. G-ICMA, to extend the ICMA surcharge to recover a FERC-ordered refund and to truncate the ICMA surcharge to three decimal places. The Commission issued Resolution G-3262 approving the Advice Letter filings on October 21, 1999 with a November 1, 1999 effective date. SoCalGas estimates that the ICMA balance will be fully amortized based on expected September activity. Since it is difficult to ascertain the amortization status of an account like the ICMA on a day-to-day basis, SoCalGas is requesting authority to discontinue the rate at the end of the monthly revenue accounting period.
