1. Introduction

In today's decision, we adopt, with various changes, the rules we proposed in the order instituting this rulemaking (OIR). The version of these rules that we adopt today is that set forth in the revised draft decision mailed to the parties on December 17, 1999.

With the adoption of these rules, Article 19 of our Rules of Practice and Procedure¹ provides comprehensively for public review and comment regarding our decisions, including resolutions.
