Akbar Jazayeri Vice President of Regulatory Operations September 21, 2011 ADVICE 2632-E (U 338-E) PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ENERGY DIVISION SUBJECT: Confirmation of SCE s Nominee to the Committee of Its Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds (SCE or Company) hereby submits for filing this update to its Committee for Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds established pursuant to Decision (D.)87-05-062 and Resolution E-3057. PURPOSE SCE is requesting California Public Utilities Commission (Commission) confirmation of the re-appointment of its nominee, Daniel P. Garcia, to the Committee of SCE s Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds. BACKGROUND In response to D.87-05-062, SCE developed trust agreements for its nuclear decommissioning costs in accordance with the guidelines set forth in that Decision. Two trusts were required, one for the decommissioning contributions that qualify for an income tax deduction under Section 468A of the Internal Revenue Code (Qualified Trust), and one for the remaining contributions (Non-qualified Trust). The two trusts are collectively referred to herein as the "Trusts." On November 25, 1987, SCE's trust agreements were approved by the Commission and executed shortly thereafter by the Commission, SCE, and the Trustee. The Trusts were initially funded on February 2, 1988, and the trust agreements have been amended and restated from time to time thereafter with Commission approval. Both the Qualified and the Non-qualified Trusts require, among other things, that they be managed by a Committee composed of five members, three of whom are not affiliated with SCE. Linda G. Sullivan and Robert C. Boada, both of whom are officers of SCE, currently serve as SCE-affiliated Committee members. Aulana L. Peters, P.O.

ADVICE 2632-E (U 338-E) - 2 - September 21, 2011 G. Timothy Haight and Mr. Garcia currently serve as the non-sce affiliated Committee members. Mr. Garcia s current term on the Committee ends on November 22, 2011. The trust agreements provide that the standard term of a Committee member is five years. By this Advice Letter, SCE is nominating Mr. Garcia as a non-sce affiliated Committee member for a five-year term commencing on the date his current term expires and continuing until November 22, 2016. The Commission approved the appointment of Mr. Garcia to his current term in D.06-07-022. The trust agreements provide that the Committee members be nominated by Company management and approved by its Board of Directors. The trust agreements then require Commission confirmation of the Committee members who are not affiliated with SCE. The issues in this filing are limited to the qualifications of the nominee to serve on the Committee of SCE s Trusts, and the fee arrangements for his services. As described below, the qualifications of the nominee and all of the information necessary for the Commission to determine the existence of any conflict of interest are fully set forth herein. CONFIRMATION OF NOMINEE SCE requests that the Commission confirm the nomination of Mr. Garcia who has indicated his willingness to serve on the Committee if confirmed by the Commission. His nomination for re-appointment was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on September 1, 2011. Mr. Garcia brings outstanding professional credentials to the Committee including significant financial experience. Mr. Garcia is currently Senior Vice President (SVP) and Chief Compliance Officer for Kaiser Health Plan, Inc. and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals. Prior to this position, he was appointed SVP at Warner Bros. in 1991, and in 1997 he became SVP of Warner Music Group. In this capacity, he was responsible for strategic planning, transactions, design and construction, and plant management for Warner Bros. and Warner Music Group real estate holdings around the world. Prior to joining Warner Bros., Mr. Garcia was a partner at the law firm of Munger, Tolles and Olsen. Mr. Garcia s additional qualifications and professional background are set forth in Appendix A, which contains the declaration required by the trust agreements. Appendix A provides all other information necessary for the Commission to determine the existence of any potential conflict of interest. SCE proposes that the current fee and compensation arrangements which were found by the Commission to be reasonable and were approved for outside Committee members in D.07-01-003 dated January 11, 2007, be continued for this nominee. No cost information is required for this advice filing.
