The final invoices for the period of January I, 2005 to January 31,2005 have not yet been issued by the ISO, so these invoices will now reflect the rates in the instant filing. The January 1, 2005 date is coincident with the effectiveness of SDG&E's transmission rate changes. Worksheets that reflect the revision to the ISO's transmission Access Charge are included with the present transmittal letter as Attachment A. The re-calculated rates for each of the TAC Areas, effective January I, 2005, are as follows: WASHINGTON, D.C. NEW YORK, N.Y.
