Attorney for Commission Staff
BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF
ACIFICORP DBA ROCKY MOUNTAIN
POWER TO DETERMINE THE
APPROPRIATE FUNDING STRUCTURE OF
ITS SCHEDULE 21 (LOW INCOME
WEA THERIZA TION PROGRAM)
MOTION TO V ACA
HEARING AND DECIDE THE
CASE ON THE RECORD
CASE NO. P AC-O6-
COMES NOW the Staff of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission by and through its
attorney of record, Donald L. Howell, II, Deputy Attorney General, and files this Motion in the
above referenced case. The parties in this case (Staff, Rocky Mountain Power, and the
Community Action Partnership Association of Idaho (CAP AI) hereinafter referred to as the
Parties ) have previously filed a Stipulation settling this case. Briefly, the Stipulation increases
Rocky Mountain s weatherization sharing percentage from 50% to 75% and expands the
allowable conservation measures to mirror those approved by the U.S. Department of Energy.
The Staff and Rocky Mountain have also prefiled direct testimony supporting the settlement
Stipulation. The Commission has scheduled its evidentiary hearing in this matter for February 2
2007.
Given the settlement Stipulation and the supporting prefiled testimony, the Parties
recommend that the Commission vacate the evidentiary hearing. Instead, the Parties urge the
Commission to decide the case based upon the Stipulation and the supporting prefiled testimony.
The Parties believe that the Commission has a sufficient record to decide this matter without a
hearing. Vacating the hearing and deciding the case on the existing record will save time and
money, and is in the public interest.
MOTION TO V ACA TE HEARING
AND DECIDE THE CASE ON THE RECORD
PRA YER
The Parties respectfully request that the Commission vacate the hearing in this matter
set for February 2, 2007. The Parties urge the Commission to decide the case based upon the
settlement Stipulation and the prefiled direct testimony in support of the Stipulation. Counsels
for Rocky Mountain and CAP AI have authorized the undersigned to submit this Motion on their
behalf as well.
Respectfully submitted this I;:) day of January 2007.
