Update:  On January 18, 2013, the attorney examiner issued an entry establishing a procedural schedule. Accordingly, the schedule provides as follows: 1) objections to PUCO Staff reports due – February 4, 2013; 2) prehearing conference – February 14, 2013; 3) motions to strike objections to PUCO Staff reports due – February 19, 2013; 4) Duke and intervenor testimony due – February 19, 2013; 5) memoranda contra motions to strike objections to PUCO Staff reports due – February 26, 2013; and 6) evidentiary hearing commences – March 25, 2013. The OMAEG will not actively participate in this proceeding because we do not have members in Duke’s territory and the PUCO Staff report does not raise significant issues. However, the OMAEG will continue to monitor this case.
