ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR EXTENSION

Issue Date: May 27, 2016 Effective Date: May 27, 2016

On May 26, 2016, the Staff of the Missouri Public Service Commission filed a Motion for Extension. Staff seeks a 45-day extension to complete its initial audit and investigation of the request by Raccoon Creek Utility Operating Company, Inc. (“Raccoon Creek”) for an increase in annual sewer system revenues. Staff states that due to the caseload of members assigned to this case, the initial audit and investigation results will be unavailable until early June. Staff explains that this will also impact additional deadlines established in the Small Utility Rate Case Timeline, filed by Staff on February 9.

Staff indicates that Raccoon Creek does not object to the extension. Commission rule 4 CSR 240-3.050(12) permits an extension of the deadlines requested by Staff. Finding Staff’s request to be reasonable, the Commission will grant the motion.

THE COMMISSION ORDERS THAT:

1. Staff shall provide the preliminary report required by 4 CSR 240-3.050(9) to Raccoon Creek and the Office of the Public Counsel no later than June 16, 2016.

2. The updated Small Utility Rate Case Timeline submitted with Staff’s Motion for Extension is accepted.

3. This order shall be effective upon issuance.
