(1)	The current portions of the obligations are included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(2)	Reclassification to liability held for sale - asset retirement obligation which is included in Other Current Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we discuss in "Sempra Natural Gas – Asset Held for Sale, Power Plant" in Note 3 above.
(3)	The decreases in asset retirement obligations in 2013 at SDG&E and SoCalGas were due to revised estimates related to the 2012 General Rate Case (GRC) that received final approval in May 2013. At SDG&E, these revisions included increases in asset service lives ranging from 2 percent to 7 percent, and lower estimated cost of removal. At SoCalGas, the decrease included increases in asset service lives ranging from 4 percent to 6 percent, partially offset by a higher estimated cost of removal.
(4)	The decrease in asset retirement obligations in 2014 at SDG&E is due to revised estimates in an updated decommissioning cost study for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, which we discuss in Note 9. The increase in asset retirement obligations in 2014 at SoCalGas is related to a change in estimates.
(5)	The increase in asset retirement obligations in 2013 at SDG&E is due to revised estimates recorded in the third quarter of 2013 related to the early decommissioning of SONGS Units 2 and 3 (see Note 9).
