their views on the waiver petition. I can assure you that we will take into consideration the 
issues and concerns presented by all stakeholders as the Commission makes every effort to 
conclude its review as quickly and equitably as possible. 
I appreciate your interest in this matter. Please let me know ifl can be of any further
