CASE NO. UPL-E-98-1
ORDER NO. 28037On March 26, 1999, PacifiCorp (dba Utah Power & Light Company) filed a Motion for an Order from the Commission allowing the Company until August 16, 1999, to file a report on unbundled cost information pursuant to Order No. 27678 issued in the Commission’s cost unbundling case for PacifiCorp (UPL-E-98-1).PacifiCorp notes in its Motion that in June 1999, it will submit to the Commission Staff its 1998 results of operations. An unbundled cost report filed by July 1, 1999, as required by Order No. 27678, would reflect 1997 cost data and, PacifiCorp contends, be considerably outdated. The Company proposes to use its 1998 results of operations but will not be able to develop a report based on 1998 data until August 16, 1999.
FINDINGSWe find that no person or entity filed a response to PacifiCorp’s Motion. We further find that good cause exists for the granting of that Motion and that no person or party would be prejudiced thereby. Consequently, we grant PacifiCorp’s Motion for an extension of time in which to file its report on unbundled cost information pursuant to Order No. 27678 until July 1, 1999. The extension granted by this Order shall apply to the unbundled cost information reports due from Idaho Power Company and Avista as well.
O R D E RIT IS HEREBY ORDERED that PacifiCorp’s Motion for extension of time in which to file unbundled cost information is granted pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth above.THIS IS A FINAL ORDER. Any person interested in this Order (or in issues finally decided by this Order) or in interlocutory Orders previously issued in this Case No. UPL-E-98-1 may petition for reconsideration within twenty-one (21) days of the service date of this Order with regard to any matter decided in this order or in interlocutory Orders previously issued in this Case No. UPL-E-98-1. Within seven (7) days after any person has petitioned for reconsideration, any other person may cross-petition for reconsideration. See Idaho Code § 61-626.DONE by Order of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission at Boise, Idaho this day of May 1999.DENNIS S. HANSEN, PRESIDENTMARSHA H. SMITH, COMMISSIONERPAUL KJELLANDER, COMMISSIONERMyrna J. WaltersCommission Secretaryvld/O:UPL-E-98-1_bp

CASE NO. UPL-E-98-1
ERRATUM TO
ORDER NO. 28037On May 7, 1999, the Commission issued Order No. 28037 granting PacifiCorp’s (dba Utah Power & Light Company) Motion for an Order allowing the Company until August 16, 1999, to file its report on unbundled cost information pursuant to Order No. 27678 issued in the Commission’s cost unbundling case for PacifiCorp (Case No. UPL-E-98-1). In its Order, the Commission indicated that the extension of time would be applicable to the unbundling reports due from Idaho Power Company and Avista as well. The “Findings” section of Order No. 28037 contains an error, however, wherein it states: “Consequently, we grant PacifiCorp’s Motion for an extension of time in which to file its report on unbundled cost information pursuant to Order No. 27678 until July 1, 1999.” The foregoing sentence should have granted PacifiCorp’s Motion for an extension of time until “August 16, 1999.” Aside from the foregoing change, all other aspects of Order No. 28037 remain in full force and effect.DATED at Boise, Idaho this day of May 1999.Myrna J.
