ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE'S RULING
ON TURN, NRDC AND AECA
NOTICES OF INTENT TO CLAIM COMPENSATION
On September 20, 2004, Notices of Intent to Claim Compensation (NOIs) were filed and served by three groups: The Utility Reform Network (TURN), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and the Agricultural Energy Consumers Association (AECA). No responses have been received.
This ruling finds TURN and NRDC eligible to claim compensation. AECA must still meet the significant financial hardship test before it can be found eligible.
