3. Timetable; Submission Date

The timetable for the critical path issues in this proceeding and the projected submission dates are set forth in the following schedules. I recognize that the time allotted for intervenors to review and analyze the proposed procurement plans before they file their testimony is limited. To facilitate that review and analysis, and to potentially mitigate discovery issues, I will direct that a data clarification workshop be convened at which each utility will explain the input assumptions and outputs of its proposed long term procurement plan, and answer data clarification questions.
