IV. Procedural Requirements

The first four requirements are procedural. The prehearing conference in this matter was held on July 22, 2004. Aglet-TURN filed their joint NOI timely on May 14, 2001. In their joint NOI, Aglet-TURN asserted financial hardship. On August 3, 2004, Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Galvin found Aglet-TURN are Category III customers under the Public Utilities Code and meet the significant financial hardship condition.

A final decision (D.04-12-047) in this matter was issued on December 16, 2004. Aglet-TURN filed their joint request for compensation on January 21, 2005, within the required 60 days of a final decision being issued.

Aglet-TURN thus have satisfied all the procedural requirements necessary to make their joint request for compensation.
