It is extremely important to book your hotel room early. Even if you end up needing to cancel\, we recommend reserving a room as soon as possible.\nNASUCA will not be providing a hotel block for the Annual Meeting as it is held at the NARUC hotel. However\, the TURN Office has been kind enough to put together a list of recommend hotels that are close to the Marriott. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSan Francisco Hotels\nThese hotels are all within walking distance of the NARUC hotel\, the Marriott Marquis\, located at 4th St. Most of the recommended hotels are located near Union Square\, with a couple closer to the Ferry Building with easy access to the Marriot on public transportation. They all have Internet access. They are categorized as larger hotels and boutique hotels. The boutique hotels may have only a few rooms available. The goal was to find hotels with rooms at $150 or less (tough in SF) or at most in the vicinity of $200. \nLarger Hotels \nHotel Palomar\n12 Fourth Street San Francisco\, CA 94103 \nRight across the street from NARUC. Very nice hotel. Advance booking/non-refundable rate $212/refundable $269.\nReservations: (866) 373-4941\nHotel Palomar San Francisco \nParc 55\n55 Cyril Magnin St.San Francisco\,CA 94102 \nA short walk to NARUC.\nAdvance Purchase Rates: $187\nReservations: 800.595.0507\nBoutique Hotels \nHotel Fusion\n140 Ellis St\, (Corner of Cyril Magnin) \nVery close to NARUC. Small\, comfortable rooms. Inexpensive. Government rate starts at $134. AARP and AAA discounts available @ $137. Free WiFI. Twin rooms are small\, if you need to work ask about a desk. Reservations can be booked on-line.\nOrchard Hotel\n665 Bush St\nSan Francisco\, CA\nNon-Refundable $206/Refundable $229\nThe Orchard Hotel \nOrchard Garden Hotel\n466 Bush Street\nNon-refundable rate $200/Refundable $221.50 (Includes free HS Internet) AAA rate available. \nReservations: Email: reservations@theorchardgardenhotel.com\nToll Free: 1-888-820-6150 \nHotel Beresford\n635 Sutter St.\nQuaint hotel in the theater district.\, two blocks from Union Square. A little funky (e.g.\, older bath facilities and refrigerators in the rooms). A fun place to stay. Like traveling in Europe. Inexpensive. Rates from $129/Government rate $134. Only drawback\, Internet access is sketchy. \nReservations: 1-800-533-6533 \nHotel Triton\n342 Grant Avenue \nThis looks like a really fun place. A Kimpton artsy hotel. Seven Blocks from NARUC (the farthest of the suggested hotel options). Rates range from $159 (with 60 day advance purchase) to $199. They offer a gov. rate but show no rooms at that rate for our dates. \nReservations: (800) 800-1299 \nHotel Union Square\n114 Powell Street \nRates from $134-$172. Very close to NARUC.\nReservations 1 800 553 1900\nHotel Union Square\n***They did not recommend the Mosser\, which is across the street from Marriott\, because the rooms are not great (very small\, hard to work). \n  \n  \n  \n

Onsite Registration will be available.\nWe apologize for any inconvenience\, but we do not accept credit cards \nFrequently Asked Questions  \nRegistration Fees (per person) – 2013 NASUCA Annual Meeting\n$395 – NASUCA Member\n$450 – Government (public interest groups should seek prior approval from NASUCA to qualify for the government rate)\n$495 – Industry/Utilities\, Consultants\, Trade Associations \nOur Annual Meeting is held in conjunction with the NARUC Annual Meeting and your registration includes a ticket to the NASUCA dinner event as well as admittance into the open NARUC panels.  \n \nMeeting Information \nThe meeting is taking place at the NARUC Hotel the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. NASUCA has a small block of rooms reserved at the hotel for a rate of $199 per night plus 13%tax. The cutoff date for hotel registration is October 18th\, but given the small number of rooms we recommend booking as early as possible. \nBelow is the link for hotel registration: It will take you to a NARUC generated reservation option. Our block is though NARUC so you are in the correct place\, for the NASUCA Block. \nNASUCA: https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_gi_new&groupID=20126150  \nIf you are unable to stay at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek there are a number of hotel options and we do recommend shopping around. When we checked some sites I saw a cheaper rate at the NARUC hotel then the group rate being offered. So even if you miss the hotel block you can sill stay at the NARUC hotel you would just need to book though another site. Orlando has a ton of hotels many of them with very reasonable rates\, you would just most likely have to rent a car to get from your hotel to the conference. \nIf you visit Orbitz.com http://www.orbitz.com/  click\, search by address\, type in Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek\, 14100 Bonnet Creek Resort Lane\, Orlando\, FL 32821 it will generate a list of nearby hotels. I would double check the location before booking\, but it at least puts you in the vicinity. \nA good option that is very nearby is the Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort\, located just a half a mile from the NARUC hotel. \nHOTELS FOR NASUCA MEMBERS:\n*If you find a great rate at another hotel close to the Hilton Bonnet Creek please let me know so I can put it up on our website for other members. \nHere are some hotels that other members have reservations booked. \nTwo bedroom condo at Marriott Royal Palms which is six miles from the NARUC hotel. They will have a car in case anyone wants to carpool. The government rate is $194/night ($97 for each person) and you can’t beat the accommodations. For more information\, go to http://www.marriottvacationclub.com/vacation-resorts/marriott-royal-palms/overview.shtml  \nState government rate of $101 – ½ mile from the conference hotel. Wyndham Grand Orlando Resort Bonnet Creek –http://www.wyndham.com/common/images/branded/WY/images/45462_b1t.jpg  \nSpringhill Suites Marriott Village- $79 per night government Rate \nYou’re invited to… \nCCIF’s 4th Annual Kickoff Forum\nDistributed Generation: Consumer-Focused Options for Policymakers & Regulators\nSaturday\, November 16\, 2013 ? 2:00 – 5:00pm\nOrlando Hilton Bonnet Creek ? Orlando\, FL\nFloridian Ballroom B & C \nThe Critical Consumer Issues Forum (CCIF) invites you to join us in Orlando for our 4th Annual Kickoff Forum\, which will build on the consensus framework and principles on distributed generation (DG) that were developed by CCIF earlier this year (report available at www.CCIForum.com). To dig deeper into the complex topic of DG\, areas of discussion will likely include: \n* Value of a Safe\, Reliable\, and Resilient Grid to Enable DG Options for Consumers \n* DG Market Development and Deployment \n* DG Cost Allocation Approaches and Best Practices \n* Consumer Protections\, Complaint Resolution\, and Education \nThis dialogue will help shape CCIF’s work in summits next spring\, at which commissioners\, consumer advocates\, and electric utility representatives will continue the discussion\, develop options for consideration by policymakers and regulators\, and form consensus where possible. As we begin the effort to build on the CCIF framework on DG and further assist policymakers and other stakeholders in evaluating these challenging issues\, we encourage your participation. \nRegistration. Registration is open at www.CCIForum.com/ccif-events/registration. Please register by November 6th. There is no charge to participate\, but registration with CCIF is required. Please make travel plans accordingly. \nHotel Stipends. EEI is offering a limited number of stipends to participating state commissioners and consumer advocates for a 1-night credit at the Orlando Hilton Bonnet Creek at the NARUC conference rate (or reimbursement for 1 night at an equal or lower rate at another hotel). Please indicate interest in a stipend during registration\, and eligibility will be confirmed soon thereafter. All registrants are responsible for making their own hotel reservations\, including any additional nights to attend the forum. \nFor More Info.

SUMMARY:2010 Mid-Year Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2010 NASUCA Mid-Year Meeting\nMarriott San Francisco Fisherman’s Wharf\nSan Francisco\, California\nJune 13 – 16 \nFinal Agenda \nMeeting Presentations \nMonday June 14th \n“Still Cramming after All These Years: What Must Be Done To Stop It?”\n“Telemarketing scams. Doctored verification recordings. $7 directory assistance charges. Bogus Internet signups. “Sloppy” billing practices. Inadequate dispute resolution. And that’s on a good day! Why is this still a problem? What is the role of the LEC? the billing aggregator? enforcement authorities? Panelists will explore the nature\, scope and sources of the cramming problem and suggest strategies to deal with it.” \nModerator:\nCraig Graziano\, Attorney\, Office of Consumer Advocate\, Iowa Department of Justice\, Des Moines\, IA \nPanelists:\nJoel Gurin\, Bureau Chief\, Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau\, Federal Communications Commission\, Washington\, DC\nLaura Kim\, Assistant Director\, Bureau of Consumer Protection\, Federal Trade Commission\, Washington\, DC\nChris Witteman\, Legal Division/Telecommunications\, California Public Utilities Commission\, San Francisco\, CA \n“Smart Meters – The Promise and the Problems”\nToday’s Smart Meters offer many potential benefits\, including giving customers a much better handle on their energy consumption through Home Area Network devices. They also provide a platform for various Smart Grid opportunities. However\, deployment of such meters in Northern California has raised concerns about the accuracy of bills\, security and privacy. Questions have also been raised about whether they provide as good a “bang for the buck” as Energy Efficiency programs. The four panelists will discuss these issues from different viewpoints and how these concerns are being addressed. \nModerator:\nChristopher Danforth\, Program and Projects Supervisor\, California Public Utilities Commission\, Division of Ratepayer Advocates\, San Francisco\, CA \nPanelists:\nJana Corey\, Director of Integrated Demand-side Management\, (IDSM) Policy Planning\, Pacific Gas and Electric Company\, San Francisco\, CA\nCameron Brooks\, Senior Director\, Market Development and Policy Strategy\, Tendril\, Inc.\, Boulder\, CO\nMark W. Toney\, Ph.D\, Executive Director\, The Utility Reform Network\, San Francisco\, CA\nJennifer M. Urban\, Assistant Clinical Professor of Law and Director\, Samuelson Law\, Technology & Public Policy Clinic\, University of California Berkeley School of Law\, Berkeley\, CA \n“Full Credit Reporting on Residential Gas and Electric Accounts: Train Wreck for Essential Safety Net Public Policies”\nLike wolves in sheep’s clothing\, industry proponents of full credit reporting claim it will build credit histories and improve consumer access to credit. In actuality\, far from delivering a benefit to consumers\, full credit reporting poses a new and profound threat to the well-being of both low-income consumers and a wide swath of consumers who are not low income but who for reasons including illness and layoff are not always able to make gas and electric payments on time. The panel will explain and discuss the nature and breadth of the threat and what can be done to prevent the imminent threatened harm. \nModerator:\nJoseph W. Rogers\, Assistant Attorney General\, Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General\, Boston\, MA \nPanelists:\nDavid Rinebolt\, Executive Director and Counsel\, Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy\, Findlay\, OH\nJohn G. Howat\, Consultant\, National Consumer Law Center\, Boston\, MA -Note: His presentation was given by Mr. Rinebolt \n” The Next Generation of Energy Efficiency: Transforming Markets through Long-term Strategic Planning”\nThis panel on Energy Efficiency will provide lessons learned from California and the Northwest on forward-looking strategies that seek to increase energy savings by integrating efficiency into the marketplace as business as usual. Both California and the Northwest are using strategic planning and market transformation strategies to achieve this goal. The theory of market transformation is to identify market barriers to normal market adoption of energy efficient products and services and implement programs directly targeted at removing those barriers to ultimately lower the cost of energy efficiency for all consumers. Jeanne Clinton will discuss the motivations\, background\, and goals of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for sponsoring the Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan that is being used to guide implementation of energy efficiency programs using Zero Net Energy and Market Transformation strategies. Jeff Harris will discuss lessons from the Northwest related to its demonstrated success of Market Transformation as a significant component of a comprehensive energy efficiency program portfolio since the early 1990’s. \nFollowing these two presentations\, there will be an open forum for all states to discuss with panelists issues and opportunities to coordinate across borders on strategic planning and market transformation. \nModerator:\nCheryl Cox\, Senior Policy Analyst / Project Manager\, Energy Efficiency\, Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA)\, California Public Utilities Commission\, San Francisco\, CA \nPanelists:\nJeanne Clinton\, Manager of the Climate Strategies Branch\, California Public Utilities Commission\, San Francisco\, CA\nJeff Harris\, Director of Emerging Technologies for the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA)\, Portland\, OR \n“Shale Gas Development’s Impact on Energy Market Dynamics and Contracting Strategies”\nMelissa Whitten of La Capra Associates\, Inc. will highlight the key issues\, data and companies to monitor in order to understand the impact of shale gas on the build out and integration of the US natural gas pipeline grid\, regional energy costs\, and energy policy in general. \nModerator:\nJoseph W. Rogers\, Assistant Attorney General\, Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General\, Boston\, MA \nSpeaker:\nMelissa Whitten\, Consultant\, LaCapra Associates\, Boston\, MA \nTuesday\, June 15 \n“Gas Distribution Company Rate Design: What Is In the Customer’s Best Interest?”\nThis panel will explore the various forms of gas distribution company rate design from straight fixed-variable to inclining block rates. The panelists will discuss how well these rate designs achieve the long-standing rate structure goals of: Efficiency\, Simplicity\, Continuity\, Fairness and Earnings Stability\, in an attempt to determine what is best for customers. \nModerator:\nJoseph W. Rogers\, Assistant Attorney General\, Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General\, Boston\, MA \nPanelists:\nJoseph A. Ferro\, Manager\, Regulatory Policy\, Bay State Gas Company\, division of NiSource\, Westborough\, MA\nLee Smith\, Managing Consultant\, LaCapra Associates\, Boston\, MA\nWilliam Marcus\, Consultant\, JBS Energy\, Inc.\, West Sacramento\, CA \n” Transmission Planning – Integrating Non-transmission Alternatives: State Siting and RTO Planning Considerations”\nDiscussion about the nuts and bolts of transmission planning as performed by RTOs and Utilities\, in the context of a state approval docket. There will also be a discussion of how non-transmission alternatives fit into these cases. \nModerator:\nEric Bryant\, Senior Counsel\, Maine Public Advocate\, Augusta\, ME \nPanelists:\nDrew Murphy\, Executive Vice President and Regional President\, Northeast\, NRG Energy\, Inc\, Princeton\, NJ\nDr. Richard Silkman\, Founding Partner\, GridSolar\, LLC\, Portland\, ME\nAndrew L. Ott\, Senior Vice President\, Markets\, PJM Interconnection\, Norristown\, PA \n“Ratepayer Perspective on Water Revenue Decoupling in California : progress to date and future directions”\nDiscussion of the water revenue decoupling mechanism pilot programs that the CPUC has adopted through settlements between the Division of Ratepayer Advocates and Class A water utilities. The panel will share preliminary observations of the effects of revenue decoupling mechanisms\, the required ratemaking changes that accompany water revenue decoupling\, and will also explore ideas for future direction of revenue decoupling in the water industry in California. The panel will also discuss why the water utilities’ Return on Equity should be adjusted downward to reflect the reduction in business risk due to the implementation of sales decoupling mechanisms. \nModerator:\nDanilo E. Sanchez\, Program Manager\, California Public Utilities Commission\, San Francisco\, CA \nPanelist:\nTerry L. Murray\, Independent consultant\, Sebastopol\, CA\nLisa Bilir\, Senior Policy Analyst\, Division of Ratepayer Advocates\, California Public Utilities Commission\, San Francisco\, CA \n“PSTN to IP- Evolution or Revolution?”\nThe ILECs try to characterize the IP transition as an entirely new network; but industry insiders contend that digital protocols and broadband capacity are the result of decades of technological and system upgrades. In fact\, the layered model of the Internet suggests that broadband was never not telecommunications; the distinctions between the physical layer and other layers (data\, IP\, transport and application) argue for functional separation as a means of regulating bottleneck monopolies and of enforcing net neutrality. \nModerator:\nDenise Mann\, Program Manager\, Division of Ratepayer Advocates-Communications Policy\, San Francisco\, CA \nPanelists:\nLee L. Selwyn\, President\, Economics and Technology\, Inc.\, Boston \, MA\nChris Witteman\, Legal Division/Telecommunications\, California Public Utilities Commission\, San Francisco\, CA \n“Throw me a Lifeline: Bringing low-income telephone assistance programs into the 21st century”\nAs traditional wireline carriers seek to slough off their POTS service and as consumers (low-income and otherwise)\, due to lifestyle changes and simple economics\, move away from such service\, the need to assist low-income consumers in maintaining communications remains. The recent growth in wireless Lifeline USF funding shows one direction \nModerator:\nChristine Mailloux \, Telecommunications Attorney\, The Utility Reform Network\, San Francisco\, CA \nPanelists:\nSteve Albertson\, New Initiatives Director\, Community Voice Mail National Office\, Seattle\, WA\nMitchell F. Brecher\, Shareholder\, Greenberg Traurig\, LLP\, Washington\, DC\nJulie Buechler\, Manager Government Programs\, Cricket Communications\, San Diego\, CA \n“Is it getting hot in here? The ratepayer’s interest in greenhouse gas regulation strategies”\nAs the reality of climate change is becoming clear\, several states have adopted or are in the process of developing GHG reduction programs. What approaches are available\, and what will be the impact of those strategies on energy consumers? This panel will discuss the development of a GHG cap-and-trade program in California\, the impact of various GHG regulation strategies on utility ratepayers\, and considering the alternative of a Carbon Tax. \nModerator:\nMeri Levy\, Regulatory Analyst\, Division of Ratepayer Advocates\, San Francisco\, CA \nPanelists:\nScott Murtishaw\, Senior Regulatory Analyst\, Energy Division\, California Public Utilities Commission\, San Francisco\, CA\nBruce Biewald\, CEO\, Synapse Energy Economics\, Cambridge\, MA\nLaurie Williams & Allan Zabel\, Carbon Tax Advocates\, Oakland\, CA -Presentation coming \nResolutions Passed at NASUCA’s Mid-Year Meeting\n Transmission Planning and Development -2010-01 \nCalling for Reform of the Lifeline Program\, including Reform for Prepaid Wireless Lifeline Services-2010-02 \nOpposing “Full Credit Reporting” of Payment Histories on Residential Gas and Electric Accounts-2010-03
