Discussion of Issues

Issue 1:   Should Docket No. 041291-EI be closed?

Recommendation:  Yes, this docket should be closed.

Staff Analysis:  On November 3, 2006, Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) filed an emergency petition in Docket Nos. 041291-EI[1] and 060001-EI [2]seeking approval of a storm cost recovery transition charge.  Docket No. 041291-EI was reopened to take up this emergency petition which the Commission considered during the course of the November 6-8, 2006, fuel hearing.  By Order No. PSC-06-1062-TRF-EI, issued December 26, 2006, the tariff at issue was approved.  Accordingly, staff recommends Docket No. 041291-EU should be closed.  Since Docket No. 060001-EI is an ongoing proceeding, there is no need to address the closure of that docket.
