That definition constitutes a rule freezing all study area boundaries, effective November 15, 1984.
Columbine proposes to establish a new Idaho study area on a cost settlement basis.
In Orders attached to the petition, the Idaho Public Utilities Commission and the Wyoming Public Service Commission state that they do not object to the changes in the study area boundaries caused by transferring the three exchanges from U S WEST to Columbine. Comments and reply comments should reference AAD 96-169. We will treat this proceeding as non-restricted for purposes of the Commission's ex parte rules. However, if this waiver petition is opposed, it will be treated as a restricted proceeding under the Commission's ex parte rules.
