would noraally be to vait a fen ainutea and see if
anyont calls ia, but re are already at five minuteg past
the hour and ttrie was a publicly noticed hearing, so I
think judgraent rould allow us to conclude the hearing at
this point having no one here to testify.
Ttre coment deadlines in this caae have
already oqlired. the original corment deadline was
Augrust 14th. fdaho Power's opportunity to reply was
Augnrst 21.
So, at tlre cJ.ose of this hearing ttre record
rill, cIose. The case rril1 be fully submitted to the
Comiaaioners for a final deciaion on the caa€ and ue
wi].l issue an order at our earliest convenience.
Unless anyone elee has anything to BEry, that
concludes our public trearing and this trearing is
adjourned.
ffiereupon the hear5.ng adjourned at 10:05 a.m.)
