We note that each application includes an amount added for taxes. In communicating with Company personnel, we understand that the Company believes it is appropriate to gross up the amount of the grant requests to account for taxes. We do not see any provision in the Company's tariff to authorize the tariff to apply a tax factor to its special construction charges for line extensions. We will continue to investigate this issue, and address the tax issue during the true-up process. Each of the identified applications is hereby approved. Payment wil l be issued shortly.

We note that each application, except for ETFF No. 2004-40, includes an amount added for taxes. In communicating with Company personnel, we understand that the Company believes it is appropriate to include a provision for taxes in addition to the tariff rate for extensions. We do not see any provision in the Company’s tariff to authorize the tariff to apply a tax factor to its special construction charges for line extensions. We will continue to investigate this issue, and address the tax issue during the true-up process.

You are hereby notified that Application Nos. ETFF 2004-38, 2004-39, 2004-40, 2004- 41, 2004-43, 2004-44, 2004-45, 2004-46, 2004-47 and 2004-49 are APPROVED, having been found to comply with the program requirements.

With respect to ETFF Application No. 2004-48, the Company notified us on June 3 that this application is withdrawn. Accordingly ETFF Application No. 2004-48 is deemed withdrawn and is not approved.

Payment on the approved applications is expected to be issued and mailed on June 9, 2004.

Please note that if the actual cost of either or both of the extension projects varies from the projected amount, you are required to submit a “true-up” request to reconcile your actual and projected project costs.
