COMMENT PERIOD
MOTION TO EXTEND COMMENT PERIOD
Staff respectfully requests a 14-day extension of the comment period established in
Order No. 29822. As a result, comments would be due August 19, 2005. Staff seeks this
extension, because we have initiated discussions with both Idaho Falls Power and PacifiCorp
regarding issues raised in the Allocation Agreement and need more time to conclude these
discussions.
Counsel for PacifiCorp supports this Motion. However, Staff has been unable to
contact the City of Idaho Falls to determine its position on this Motion.
Respectfully submitted this 29th day of July 2005.
