IV. Proceeding Schedule

On February 3, 2006, the ALJ assigned to this proceeding scheduled a workshop on PBI and the impact of federal tax incentives on investment decision-making. The Commission will be scheduling additional workshops or opportunities for comments or testimony on other topics in the near future. We hope to issue a roadmap for addressing all related issues in a final scoping memo, following a prehearing conference to discuss ways to manage the many issues to be resolved in this rulemaking.

We anticipate that this proceeding will take no longer than 18 months to complete.
