BEFORE THE IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IN THE MATTER OF IDAHO NORTHERN &
PACIFIC RAILROAD'S OBJECTION TO
THE COMMISSION'S 2009 ASSESSMENT FEE CASE NO. INP-09-
NOTICE OF HEARING
On May 22 2009, Idaho Northern & Pacific Railroad (INPR) filed an objection to the
Commission s 2009 annual assessment fee for the Company. The assessment includes the 2008
assessment that was unpaid, along with interest of $479.84 on the 2008 unpaid assessment. In its
letter of objection, INPR explains that it did not pay the 2008 assessment because it was waiting
for an invoice. Due to this misunderstanding, INPR asserts it was unaware that the 2008 fee was
unpaid and now requests that the interest component on the 2008 assessment be removed. INPR
has paid the 2008 and the 2009 assessment.
Idaho Code 9 61-1007 identifies the procedure for an objection to an IPUC fee
assessment. The statute requires that the Commission
, "
after ten (10) days' notice in writing to
the objector, shall proceed to hold a hearing upon such objections within twenty (20) days after

hearing.
