Attached is the prehearing conference statement issued by PG&E in the  
Transmission OII proceeding.? The utility suggests that there are no  
projects which should be considered.? Their direct quote is:
?
"...it  does not appear that PG&E has any transmission projects appropriate 
for  inclusion in this fall,s hearings.?  While the Los Banos-Gates 500 kV 
Transmission Project (the &Path 15  Project8) raises issues of statewide 
importance and has progressed to the point  where a preferred route has been 
identified and a detailed cost estimate  prepared, that project is the 
subject of a pending conditional CPCN application  (A.01-04-012).? There is 
no need for  the Commission to conduct a duplicative analysis of the Path 15 
project as part  of the instant investigation.? The  only other transmission 
projects PG&E currently plans that may require a  CPCN ) the Vaca-Lakeville 
230 kV Project in Sonoma and Napa Counties, the  Jefferson-Martin 230 kV 
project in San Francisco, the Fresno Long-Term project,  and the Bay Area 500 
kV substation project ) are all longer-term, locally- or  regionally-focused 
projects not planned to be operational until 2004, 2005,  2006, and 2007, 
respectively."
