Posted by George on 23 Apr 2010 | Tagged as: General, Pipeline Infrastructure
“Commissioner Cawley began the en banc hearing today on Marcellus Shale jurisdictional issues by announcing that there has been so much interest in providing testimony to the Commission that the PUC will hold a second en banc hearing at 1 pm on June 16.”
“Chairman Cawley, during his questioning of the first panel testifying today stated that the PUC is not interested in “building an empire”, a sentiment echoed by Commissioners Powelson and Gardner explicitly. Chairman Cawley continued that while he has an interest in license jurisdiction, to support more safety inspection, he has no interest in economic jurisdiction. He stated that the PUC has no desire to add to the more than 8000 public utilities in the state.”
