Item 8.01.  Other Events

On July 31, 2014, the administrative law judges (“ALJs”) who oversee the three investigative enforcement proceedings pending at the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“Utility”), a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, issued a ruling notifying the parties that they will issue their presiding officer’s decisions within 60 days.  (See PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and their Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31 and June 30, 2014 for more information about these investigations.)  Based on the CPUC’s rules, after the ALJs issue their decisions, the Utility and other parties would have 30 days to file an appeal.  Parties would have 15 days to respond to appeals.  In addition, within 30 days after the presiding officer’s decisions are issued, a CPUC commissioner could request that the CPUC review the decisions.  If appeals are filed or a CPUC commissioner requests a review, it is uncertain when the final outcome of these investigations would be determined.
