BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF IDAHO POWER
COMP ANY'S APPLICATION FOR A
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC CONVENIENCE
AND NECESSITY FOR THE EV ANDER
ANDREWS POWER PLANT ORDER NO. 30113
CASE NO. IPC-06-
On April 14, 2006, Idaho Power Company filed an Application with the Commission
seeking a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the construction of the Evander
Andrews Power Plant. On May 9, 2006, the Commission issued a notice of the Company
Application and set an intervention deadline of May 18 , 2006. The Industrial Customers of
Idaho Power (ICIP) and Mountain View Power, Inc. each petitioned for intervention, which was
granted. Order Nos. 30057 and 30058, respectively. The Commission Secretary issued a Notice
of Parties on June 16 2006.
On July 26, 2006, Mountain View Power filed a Motion to Withdraw as a party and
requested that it be reclassified as an interested person pursuant to Rule 39. IDAPA
31.01.01.039. Mountain View Power also requested that it be provided with copies of all
Commission Orders and non-confidential testimony and exhibits that are filed by the parties
this matter. No party has filed any objection to the withdrawal of Mountain View Power. This
matter is currently set for hearing on November 20-2006.
DISCUSSION
We find, based upon the file and record herein, as well as the lack of objection by
any party, that the request of Mountain View Power to withdraw as a party and be reclassified as
an interested person under Rule 39 should be granted. Although a classification as "interested
person" pursuant to Rule 39 would not necessarily entitle Mountain View Power to be provided
with Orders or non-confidential testimony and exhibits, we find this request reasonable in light
of their prior status as a party.
ORDER
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Mountain View Power, Inc.s Motion to Withdraw
as a party is granted. The Commission Secretary shall provide copies of all Commission Orders
and the remaining parties shall provide copies of any non-confidential testimony and exhibits
that they may file to Mountain View Power, Inc.
