SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER OF NOTICE

On May 10, 2021, the Commission issued an order of notice in this matter. The Commission issued a supplemental order of notice in this matter on June 30, 2021.

This supplemental order of notice notifies the parties and public that the proceeding will now be in person.

The Commission will be conducting any hearings scheduled in this matter in person. Upon request, the Commission will consider using a hybrid format utilizing a Webex videoconferencing platform to permit remote participation if the Commission has determined that there is good reason to do so, such as a party’s or witness’s illness, or to reduce the cost of witness travel. Any party requesting a hybrid hearing format to accommodate those who will be participating remotely should file a written request with the Commission’s Clerk’s Office no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing date. If the Commission determines that a hybrid approach will be used, then individuals in the Commission’s hearing room, including the Commissioners, will be broadcast on a web-enabled platform, and a remote hearing link will be posted on the website.

Based upon the foregoing, it is hereby

ORDERED, that the Commission will hold a hearing in this matter at its offices located at 21 S. Fruit St., Suite 10, Concord, New Hampshire, on February 23, 2022, at 9:00 a.m.; and it is
