INTERVENOR HOLLINGSWORTH & VOSE COMPANY'S
 

EMERGENCY MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION OF ORDER ON
 

MOTION FOR LEAVE TO INTERVENE
 

Intervenor Hollngsworth & Vose Company ("H&V") moves, on an emergency basis, 

for clarification of the September 23, 2009 Order on Motion for Leave to Intervene by NonParty Hollingsworth & Vose Company (the "Intervention Order"). The Intervention Order 

provides that H& V may intervene "only for the limited purpose of providing a brief and any 

proposed findings of fact on the issue of how the proposed remedy might affect H& V's rights 

under the Cross Agency Agreement." It further provides that the brief and proposed findings 

be fied by September 30, 2009, in advance of the issuance of any initial decision. The 

Intervention Order does not specifically address H&V's request to participate in an appeal to 

the Commission of the forthcoming initial decision on issues affecting H& V's rights under the 

Cross Agency Agreement, but solely references the right to fie post-trial papers later this' 

week. 

H& V seeks clarification as to whether it has been granted or denied the right to appeal 

the forthcoming initial decision in this proceeding on issues affecting H&V's rights under the 

Cross Agency Agreement. Since the time for H& V to appeal the Intervention Order expires on 

-i 
September 30,2009, see 16 C.F.R. § 3.23(a) (Jan. 1,2009)/ H&V seeks such clarification on an 

emergency basis in order to avoid filing an unnecessary application for review with the 

Commission. 

WHEREFORE, H&V requests a ruling clarfying whether it has been granted or denied 

the right to appeal to the Commission on the initial decision in this proceeding on issues relating 

to its rights under the Cross Agency Agreement.
