The Public Staff Division, which receives the report, finds no need for it now or in the foreseeable future. Therefore, it is appropriate for the Commission to issue an order that cancels the portion of Ordering Paragraph 1 of D.76598 which specifies that cost of service information be filed with the Commission on a monthly basis by these utilities. Finding of Fact The Cost of Service Report required by D.76598 is not used by the Commission's Public Staff Division. Conclusion of Law The requirement for filing the report should be terminated. . ~J ., 1 > .- c - 1 - ~ . .. . . . .
