11. Categorization and Need for Hearings

In Resolution ALJ 176-3201, the Commission preliminarily determined that the category for this proceeding is ratemaking, and that a hearing was not necessary. The Scoping Memo affirmed the categorization of this proceeding as ratemaking, but determined that a hearing was needed. Commission Resolution ALJ-218, dated April 24, 2008, approved the changed determination on the need for hearing. As noted earlier in today's Decision, an evidentiary hearing was held on June 3, 2008.
