Commission Staff to file comments in this case on January 27 2007. The Commission

regarding repairs to be made to the system, Spirit Lake must request more time to file
reply comments. Spirit Lake has been advised by Staff that it has no objection to this
request. In return, the Company has no objection to the Commission extending the time
