The
Commission has established an expedited procedural schedule to consider the complaint
brought by Noranda Aluminum and multiple other customers alleging that Ameren Missouri
is earning money at an excessive rate.
The order that established that procedural schedule states that the
response time for all data requests shall be ten calendar days, with five
calendar days to object. On April 17,
2014, the Staff of the Commission filed a motion asking the Commission to
shorten the response times for data requests to five business days to respond
and three business days to object.
Staff’s motion represents that counsel for each party has been consulted
and that none object to Staff’s motion.
The
Commission finds that Staff’s motion is reasonable and is not opposed by any
party. The Commission will grant that
motion.
THE COMMISSION
ORDERS THAT:
1. Staff’s Motion to Shorten Time to Respond to Discovery is granted.
2. The response time for all data requests shall be five business days, with three business days to object or notify the requesting party that more than five business days will be needed to provide the requested information.
3. This order shall become effective upon issuance.
