In order to receive the ratemaking treatment provided under Decision No. 96-09-092 for a Z-Factor, a Potential Z-Factor, must qualify as a Z-Factor under the nine criteria set forth in Decision No. 94-06-011. Table C lists the nine criteria under which a Potential Z-Factor will qualify as a Z-Factor: Table C Z-Factor Criteria 1. The event causing the cost must be exogenous to the Utility. 2. The event must occur after implementation of the PBR. 3. The Utility cannot control the costs. 4. The costs are not a normal part of doing business. 5. An event affects the Utility disproportionately. 6. The PBR Update Rule must not implicitly include the cost. 7. The cost must have a major impact on the Utility. 8. The cost impact must be measurable. 9. The Utility must incur the cost reasonably. a. Identification of Potential Z-Factors: A Potential Z-Factor may be identified by the Utility or the Office of Ratepayers Advocates (ORA). The Commission shall be notified of all Potential Z-Factors by a Letter of Notification in compliance with Decision No. 96-09-092. The Letter of Notification shall be sent to the Commission addressed to the Executive Director. For all Potential Z-Factors identified by the Utility, copies of the letter shall be sent to the Director of the Energy Division and the Director of the ORA.

Z-Factor Threshold: The Utility will bear the risk of all potential Z-Factors which do not have a financial impact on the Utility of more than $10 million. The $10 million threshold amount is also applied as a deductible on a one-time basis to each Z-Factor authorized for recovery by the Commission. The deductible amount is only applied in the first year s ratemaking treatment for the Z-Factor. The $10 million deductible does not apply to the formation of new municipal utilities and for projects subject to Public Utilities Code Section 463 for which the Utility is seeking Z-Factor recovery. 8. The Utility shall also make an annual filing on March 31 for each year that the Distribution PBR Mechanism is in effect. The March 31 filing will include: a.
