9. Categorization and Need for Hearing

The Commission preliminarily categorized this proceeding as ratesetting, and preliminarily determined that hearing is necessary. These determinations were affirmed in the August 21, 2006 Scoping Memo and Ruling of the Assigned Commissioner, and a method established for setting hearing, as needed. No appeal of the category determination has been filed. No party moved for hearing, and no hearing was determined necessary by the ALJ. We affirm that no hearing is needed on the matters before us in this decision.
