8. Categorization and Need for Hearings

In Resolution ALJ 176-3231, dated March 26, 2009, the Commission preliminarily categorized this application as Ratesetting, and preliminarily determined that hearings were not necessary. While ADMA disputed the relevance and significance of CPSD's protest, it acknowledged the facts as accurate. There being no disputed material issues of fact, hearings are not necessary. There is no apparent reason why the application should not be granted. Given these developments, a public hearing is not necessary, and it is not necessary to disturb the preliminary determinations.
