The PSC has scheduled hearings for both public and technical witnesses on these issues. The schedule of the hearings for public witnesses is listed below. The daytime public hearings will include a lunch break, with the exact time of the break to be determined by the administrative law judge. The technical hearings will begin the week following the public hearings, as listed below. The technical hearing is for the testimony of witnesses representing parties, limited intervenors and Commission staff.
Technical hearings are open to the public.
However, public testimony is taken only at the public hearings. The hearings create the official record that consists of the testimony given and exhibits introduced. The Commission must base its decision on the official record for the case. Information provided outside of the hearing process cannot be used by the Commission as a basis for its decision. The PSC has a limited number of copies of the Final Environmental Impact Statement available.
