TO ALL PARTIES OF RECORD:

The parties and the Commission have engaged in scheduling discussions and have 
agreed to cancel the prehearing conference previously noticed for September 28, 
1999 and to reschedule it for October 7, 1999.  The parties also agreed to move 
the date previously identified for holding the evidentiary and public hearings 
from October 11 to October 25, with the parties and the Commission reserving an 
additional two days in their schedules for completion of the evidentiary 
hearings.

Making these changes will allow the parties additional time for negotiations in 
furtherance of settlement and will allow the Commission additional time for 
consideration of environmental matters.

The Commission gives notice to all parties of record of the time and place 
established for a prehearing conference in this matter.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN That the prehearing conference scheduled for September 
28, 1999 in this matter is canceled.  The prehearing conference has been 
rescheduled and will be heard on Thursday, October 11, 1999, beginning at 9:00 
a.m., in Room 218, Chandler Plaza Building, 1300 S. Evergreen Park Drive SW, 
Olympia, WA.

If you cannot attend, you may participate via the Commission’s teleconference 
bridge line.  The bridge line is limited to twelve callers, and will be 
reserved for the first twelve people requesting the service.  Please call Nancy 
Moen at 360-664-1140 to request this service.
