We have reviewed the submittal, and we have no further comments. PG&E is authorized to immediately proceed with construction. During construction, we typically require monthly construction reports. However, due to the short duration of this project, we will not require monthly construction reports. Within 90 days of completion of construction of the facilities authorized by this letter, or no later than October 1, 2022, you must file the following: 1. A final construction report, which addresses the applicable items in Enclosure 1. 2. The following construction certifications, which must be verified in accordance with Title 18, Section 12.13 of the Code of Federal Regulations (18 CFR 12.13): a. A certification by the Design Engineer that the project was constructed in accordance with the design intent 2 b. A certification by the Quality Control Manager that the inspection and testing program resulted in the conclusion that the project was constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications reviewed by the Commission c. A certification by the PG&E that the project was constructed in accordance with the design intent and in accordance with the plans and specifications reviewed by the Commission Sample certifications are given in Enclosure 2. 3.

If you determine that previously approved exhibits reflect the as-built facilities and no revisions are necessary, you must file a letter stating the approved exhibits reflect the as-built project facilities. To assist Commission staff in the review of any revised Exhibit A, we strongly recommend that you file a revised Exhibit A, in its entirety, in two forms: a. A strikethrough format (i.e., strikethrough items to be removed, and underline or bold items to be added to the exhibit), and b. A final, clean copy incorporating the changes (i.e., without the strikethrough, underline, and bold notations). You must separate Exhibit F drawings from the other project exhibits, and label and file them as Critical Energy Infrastructure Information (CEII) material under 18 CFR § 388.113. The submission should consist of, as applicable: 1) a public portion consisting of a cover letter and the Exhibits A and G; and 2) a CEII portion containing only the Exhibit F drawings.
