Findings of Fact

1. Further development of rules, procedures, and policies is necessary to continue the implementation of the RPS.

2. It is reasonable to continue the development of the implementation of the RPS through a new rulemaking focusing on such further development.

3. It is reasonable to make the record in R.04-04-026 to the date of the mailing of this order fully available in this proceeding, and to authorize the assigned Commissioner and assigned ALJ to make fully available in this proceeding parts of the record in R.04-04-026 or its successor developed after the date of mailing of this order, upon notice to all parties.

4. In view of the complexity of the coordination required in this rulemaking, it is reasonable to have it extend for 24 months from the date of the assigned Commissioner's scoping memo.
