what i can say is there is a rehearing process at the cpuc that would go before the cpuc initially. an application for rehearing could be filed by parties. we are looking at that with our partners. typically that is done on legal grounds. and that is due 30 calendar days after the final decision. so early to mid november is one that would be due. soon. that would go through a cpuc process which could take several months. and depending on the outcome, that the cpuc finds are the decision that the cpuc makes, the next deck would be the ticket to the courts. there certainly could be legislation that addresses things that may not have been clear enough in the law and the statute. so that is certainly another route. probably a slightly longer term route, as i said, all options are on the table. we are looking at all those options and we will definitely continue to keep you informed. >> while litigation is ongoing, do the changes go into effect? i guess that is the judge's decision on whether or not there is an injunction of the rate change. >> i believe that they do. but i will double, -

the cpuc is currently considering two proposals. the first proposal was issued by the judge assigned to the proceeding on august 1. the second proposal is an alternate that was issued by one of the commissioners, and that was on august 14. so broadly speaking, the judge's proposal is better for ccas. it's a balanced proposal that draws from a detailed record in the case that was presented by various parties with different points of view. in terms of results, it's essentially neutral on the competitiveness of the c.c.a. program. by contrast, our assessment of the alternate proposal is that it will shift cost to c.c.a. customers. the alternate proposal will deliver c.c.a.'s ability to deliver a product atloer or equal cost to take service from pg&e. we worked with the c.c.a. trade association, calc.c.a. to prepare and file comments on the judge's proposal on august 21 and on the alternate proposal on september 4. reply comments were -- on both proposals were due on the -- september 13 and provided, and we also participated in an all p

on october 11th, however, the cpuc passed a exit fee modification harmful including clean power. pga working with a team of coalition of stakeholders helped organize a joint letter and three press statements from the mayors of san francisco, oakland and san jose calling for delay or no vote. we were able to secure signatures from mayor breed and all 11 supervisors opposing the modification to the exit fee. the team is working closely with enterprise with the power enterprise folks to determine next steps in appealing the decision. on the federal level, the pga team helped finance achieve the largest loan in the country at almost $700 million and work closely with the leaders nation wide to get a pilot grant program to fund water workforce coalitions in the water bill which the president just signed today. and last but not least, we continue to engage our elected officials at the local state and federal level on the state water board's proposal. so we're working with enterprise staff to communicate the impact of this proposal and also securing support of elected officials for the

i imagine some of you have seen the news lately about the proceeding at the cpuc. so i will share a bit about that with you. on october 11th, we voted unanimously to approve the alternate proposal in the power charge indifference adjustment proceeding. as a reminder, the power charge indifference adjustment is a fee that appears on c.c.a. customer 's bills to recover the above market cost of power supply commitments that they made on behalf of those customers prior to their switch to a c.c.a. program for electricity supply. this is the power plants that they own and to the contracts that they entered into before the c.c.a. formed. historically, the generation rants have been said to absorb the impact of the pci a on our customers. the community vigourously opposed the alternate proposal on the grounds that among other things, it underestimates the market value of the generation resources. resulting in more of the cost being recovered through the exit fee and c.c.a. customers. and that it unlawfully allows the above market cost of generation assets owned by pg nd to
