filing is to place into effect an interim

annual rate reduction of $3,423,656

while the Commission considers a

settlement offer filed by Paiute on July

Paiute indicates that as a result of its

original rate change filing in this

proceeding, Paiute is presently

collecting motion rates, subject to

refund, pending the outcome of a

hearing. Paiute states, however, that its

settlement offer would resolve all issues

in this proceeding, and that it believes

that the settlement offer is uncontested.

Paiute proposes in the instant filing to

reduce its rates to the settlement rate

levels, on an interim basis, pending the

Commission’s decision on the

settlement offer.

In the event that the settlement offer

is not approved or made effective

pursuant to its terms, Paiute requests

the right to terminate the interim rate

reduction on thirty days’ notice and

resume collection of its motion rates

during the pendency of this proceeding.

Paiute states that it will not seek

permission to recover from its

customers the difference between the

motion rats and the interim reduced

rates for the period that the interim

reduced rates are in effect.

Any person desiring to protest this

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Section
