(MDU) for approval to increase rates for natural gas service to customers in its South Dakota service territory, consisting of the Black Hills and East River service areas, by approximately $1.5 million based on MDU's test year ending June 30, 2012. MDU is also proposing to consolidate the Black Hills and East River areas into one rate jurisdiction. On February 19, 2013, Federal Executive Agencies (FEA) filed a Petition to Intervene. Intervention was granted to FEA on March 6, 2013. On April 19, 2013, the Commission received a Withdrawal motion from FEA, and on May 10, 2013, the Commission issued an Order Granting Withdrawal. On October 1, 2013, Staff filed its testimony. On October 24, 2013, Staff filed MDU's and Staff's Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement Stipulation, Settlement Stipulation, and Staff Memorandum Supporting Settlement Stipulation.
