Larry,

You mention that PG&E *"gives no indication of making ANY investments to
improve records systems". *I realize there are many peripheral operational
costs detailed in their proposed "Pipeline Records Integration Program", but
to be fair they do propose to "*substantially upgrade gas transmission
processes and record management infrastructure, allowing PG&E to transition
from reliance on traditional paper records and consolidate pipeline
information into two electronic information systems (SAP and GIS) (“Gas
Transmission Asset Management,” or “GTAM” Project).*

I would agree that there is potential danger, if improperly planned, to jump
into the "digitize everything boat". But I guess you could say the same
thing about a poorly planned physical records management program. I'm sure
the debate over what costs can be passed on to the ratepayers is only
beginning...
