III. Notice and Protests

Notice of the filing appeared on the Commission's Daily Calendar of September 24, 2010. Rule 1.9 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure requires that a copy of the document be served on each person whose name is on the official service list for the proceeding. CTC served its Application on September 22, 2010, to the service list attached to the Application. CTC claims that there have been no customers or other interested parties that have expressed interest in receiving copies of any application that CTC files with the Commission.

Rule 3.2 of the Rules of Practice and Procedure requires applicants for authority to increase rates to notify certain State, County and City agencies of the fact and publish in a newspaper of general circulation the proposed rate increases. This financing Application does not increase any rates or charges nor does it cut any services. CTC has met the Commission's notice and service requirements.

No protests were received and no person filed to become a party to this proceeding.
