6. Categorization and Need for Hearing

In Resolution ALJ 176-3275, dated, June 9, 2011, the Commission preliminarily categorized this Application as Ratesetting and preliminarily determined that hearings were necessary. Although DRA initially protested the application, DRA withdrew its protest. Given the status, public hearings are not necessary and the preliminary determinations made in ALJ Resolution 176-3275 regarding hearings should be changed. The preliminary categorization of Ratesetting should be upheld. Furthermore, pursuant to Rule 7.3(b), as this is an uncontested matter and no hearing is necessary, no scoping memo was issued.
