' Because approval of the Company's pending general rate case(Case No. CAP-W-24-01)will provide information
that is necessary for Staff's analysis, Staff does not believe that a December 1,2024,effective date is feasible. Staff
communicated these concerns to the Company. Staff s general timeline for comment deadlines was also discussed
with the Company—who raised no objection. Therefore,the Company is no longer requesting that the final order in
this case be issued on or about December 1,2024.
