4. Waiver of Comment Period

This decision adopts the Settlement Agreement resolving all of the issues raised by the sole protest in this proceeding. Thus, although the protest is pending, in light of the Settlement Agreement we adopt here, this decision should be considered an uncontested matter, and as such, no comment period should be required. Moreover, all parties to this proceeding have waived the 30-day period for public review and comment, if such comment period should apply. Therefore, pursuant to Section 311(g), we find that the 30-day comment period for public review and comment is not required for our adoption of this Settlement Agreement and issuance of the requested CPCN.
