Subject: [EC] Status Hearing on Friday, Sept 14
To:  Energy Committee.
I have just reviewed the proposed Schedule of the Staff of the PSC,
dated
September 11th.  This is to be reviewed and acted upon this Friday.
Two major comments, that I put into a motion for our Energy Committee,
to be acted upon by Bill DePaulo:
1.  We support the addition of 35 days to the original proposed
schedule,
to provide that the Evidentiary Hearings in Charleston take place after
the holiday months of November and December of 2008, the new dates
becoming January 9th thru January 18th.
2.  We take exception to the proposal that Reply Briefs be due on
February 26, 2008, just 11 days after the due date of February 15th for
the Initial Briefs.  We believe that an additional 6 days is appropriate
for the due date of the Reply Briefs, as this is an extremely complex
and extensive case, and because for the most part the intervenors are
relying upon volunteer or part-time assistance in their legal
preparations.  This would still leave 60 days for the PSC to render
their decision.
Respectfully submitted,   Duane Nichols
