7. Categorization and Need for Hearings

In Resolution ALJ 176-3143, dated December 3, 2004, the Commission preliminarily categorized these proceedings as ratesetting and preliminarily determined that hearings were not necessary. Based on the record, we conclude that a public hearing is not necessary, nor is it necessary to alter the preliminary determinations. As no hearing is required, and pursuant to Rule 6.6 of the Commission's Rules, Article 2.5 of the Rules ceases to apply to these proceedings.
