Please substitute this for the same prior Motion and Brief filed with my letter dated October 1,2010, fie the same and bring these matters promptly to the attention of the Commission and staff. These pleadings are identical to the prior filings except that the references to a specific dollar amount of credit value have been deleted as such information is confidentiaL.

Clements late fied on September 30, 2010 ("Clements Testimony") regarding the economic valuation of interruptible products offered by Monsanto, hereby moves the Commission for an Order as follows: 1. Dismissing in its entirety the Application of Rocky Mountain Power for Approval of Changes to its Electric Service Schedules and a Price Increase for $27.7 Milion, or Approximately 13.7% fied on May 28, 2010 ("Application") as a defective and insuffcient pleading under Rule 65, and in violation of Rule 121, IPUC Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01, by failing to set forth the Monsanto interrptible product valuation and the resulting proposed changes in the existing rates and tariffs of Monsanto. 2. Striking the supplemental testimony of Paul H. Clements fied herein on September 30, 2010, late fied more than four months after the May 28th Application was filed MOTION TO DISMISS OR STRIKE TESTIMONY - 1 and just two weeks before Staff and Intervenor Direct Testimony is due on October 14, 2010, upon the grounds and for the reason that it effectively amends and changes the rates proposed when the Application was fied by proposing entirely new methodologies and a new substantially reduced value for Monsanto's three curailment products that is 62% lower than the curent value in the existing contract and the May 28th Application. This results in a 54% net increase in Monsanto's overall rate, or more than double what was proposed in the Application by effectively adding another $11 milion to Monsanto's proposed Schedule 400 rates on top of the $11.7 milion increase included in the May 28th Application. The Clements Testimony is in violation of the Scheduling Order, and violates Rule 66 since no Commission approval was first obtained to allow amendments to the Application. The untimely Clements Testimony, which could and should have been fied with the Application, is prejudicial, and adversely affects and disregards the substatial rights of Monsanto and other paries. This Motion is based upon the record herein, together with Monsanto's Supporting Brief filed herewith. Monsanto is prepared to present oral argument if desired by the Commission.
