SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER OF NOTICE 

On May 4, 2021, the Commission issued an order of notice in this matter. The Commission issued a supplemental order of notice in this matter on June 4, 2021.

This supplemental order of notice notifies the parties and public that the proceeding will now be in-person.

The Commission will be conducting any hearings scheduled in this matter in- person. Upon request, the Commission will consider using a hybrid format utilizing a Webex videoconferencing platform to permit remote participation if the Commission has determined that there is good reason to do so, such as a party’s or witness’s illness, or to reduce the cost of witness travel. Any party requesting a hybrid hearing format to accommodate those who will be participating remotely should file a written request with the Commission’s Clerk’s Office no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing date. If the Commission determines that a hybrid approach will be used, then individuals in the Commission’s hearing room, including the Commissioners, will be broadcast on a web-enabled platform, and a remote hearing link will be posted on the website.

Based upon the foregoing, it is hereby

ORDERED, that the Commission will hold a hearing in this matter at its offices located at 21 S. Fruit St., Suite 10, Concord, New Hampshire, on November 10, 2021, at 9:00 a.m.; and it is
