Dear Ashley,
I just wanted to let you know of a few updates of possible interest below.
And if you want to learn more about these and other issues at the CPUC please let me know and we
can schedule a meeting and I would be delighted to come to you.
1.The CPUC is seeking local governments to become parties to our Disaster Relief Proceeding.
Specifically, Phase II of this proceeding will be developing requirements to ensure the
responsiveness of telecommunications companies to information requests from first
responders as well as determining what critical information is not being provided to first
responders.*
2.This proposed decision upon approval by the Commission would create two building
decarbonization pilot programs – the Building Initiative for Low-Emissions Development
(BUILD Program) program and the Technology and Equipment for Clean Heating (TECH
Initiative) initiative – that would provide $200 million dollars over a four year period to build
residential units (with at least 30% for low-income housing) that are all-electric building
projects, without any hookup to the gas distribution grid.
3.The opening of a new rulemaking R.20-02-008 to update the California Universal Telephone
Service Program (also known as the Lifeline Program), in which the CPUC will continue to
consider how to incorporate additional communications technologies, such as broadband,
and address changes to state and federal policies in this new rulemaking. One of our first
priorities will be working with stakeholders to determine the appropriate levels of program-
funded support for communications services going forward. If you have an interest in
advocating for low-income individuals in telecommunications matters, you can get involved
by providing input either as a party to the proceeding or by emailing your comments to
public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov
