CASE NO. PAC-E-00-5

AMENDED NOTICE OF COMMENT/PROTEST DEADLINE
On November 1, 2000, PacifiCorp filed an Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission) for a deferred accounting order.
On December 20, 2000, the Commission issued a Notice of Modified Procedure in Case No. PAC-E-00-5 and established a January 2, 2001 deadline for filing written comments or protests with respect to the Company’s Application and the use of Modified Procedure. Under Modified Procedure, the Company’s Application is processed by written submission rather than by hearing. Reference IDAPA 31.01.01.201-204. On review the Commission notes that administrative delay inadvertently shortened the comment period in this case to only 13 days. The standard comment period is 21 days. IDAPA 31.01.01.202.02. The Commission finds that public interest requires that the established comment deadline be extended.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that the deadline for filing written comments or protests with respect to the Application and the use of Modified Procedure in Case No. PAC-E-00-5 is extended to Thursday, January 11, 2001. Persons desiring a hearing must specifically request a hearing in their written protests or comments.
