Summaries of Parties' Positions

1. The schedule for the public participation hearings (PPHs) is set forth in Appendix A.

4. Any party requesting a translator at a PPH shall notify the Commission's Public Advisor so that the Public Advisor receives the notice at least five working days before the PPH at which the party is requesting a translator. The notice shall be in writing (email is sufficient), citing the application number, the date and time of the PPH for which a translator is requested, and the type of translator requested.
