Request that Applications Include Draft Orders
In several recent applications to the Commission, applicants have included draft Orders setting out the actions that
they were seeking from the Commission. These draft Orders have generally been found to be helpful, and assist
the Commission in providing a timely response to the applications. In some cases, the draft Order may also
clarify what the specific application is seeking.
The Commission hereby requests that, whenever possible, in future applications, utilities include a draft form of
the Order that it proposes the Commission issue on the matter. If it is likely that the Commission will establish a
proceeding to deal with the application, a draft procedural Order and notice should also be included. The draft
Orders should be filed electronically in WORD format.
Your assistance will help the Commission ensure that a prompt response to your application is made.
Yours truly,
