On March 13, 2003, NorthWestern Energy and Codington-Clark Electric Cooperative filed a joint request for approval from the Public Utilities Commission for release of a customer from Codington-Clark to NorthWestern. The customer is located 3 miles West of the Town of Hazel in the SW 1/4 of Section 16, Township 115 North, Range 55 West, Hamlin County, SD. NorthWestern has an existing overhead power line approximately 1500 feet South of the customer along the South side of said Section 16. Codington-Clark's closest power line is approximately 2 miles to the North and East of the customer.

TODAY, shall the Commission grant intervention to any parties that may have filed? AND, if there are no intervenors, shall the Commission grant the service rights exception?
