ATTACHMENT B
~ Notice
-a~ NOTICE
On December 11, 2007, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor") filed a Petition with
the Public Utility Commission of Texas ("PUC") for administrative approval of modifications to
its Lighting Service tariff, Section 6.1.1.6, for mercury vapor lighting fixtures to reflect the
requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ("EPACT 2005"). That sta.tute prohibits the
manufacture and importation of inercury ballasts after January l, 2008. Therefore, Oncor
proposes to close its lighting service tariff to the installation of new mercury vapor ballasts and
fixtwes effective January 21, 2008. Further, existing mercury vapor fixtures that need to be
replaced after January 21, 2008, will be replaced at no cost with high pressure sodium fixtures
(or metal halide fixtures for street lighting customers, upon request and payment of any
additional costs), or the customer can choose to discontinue service to that fixture at no cost.
Oncor will continue to provide service to existing mercury vapor fixtures until the fixture needs
to be replaced and Oncor will continue to replace mercury vapor bulbs on existing fixtures
because the manufacture and importation of the bulbs (as opposed to ballasts) has not been
prohibited by EPACT.
Oncor is seeking administrative approval of its proposed tariff changes from the PUC. After the
PUC completes its analysis, Oncor will ask its cities with original jurisdiction to approve the
same tariffs approved by the PUC.
The PUC has assigned Oncor's filing Tariff Filing No. 35103. Anyone who wishes to intervene,
file comments, or obtain further information regarding this proceeding should contact the Public
•°y~ Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-3326, or call the
Commission's O~ice of Consumer Protection at (512) 936-7120 ar(888) 782 8477. Hearing
and speech-impaired individuals with the text telephones ('TTY) may contact the Commission at
