Dear Stakeholder:

On November 1, 2012, the PA PUC issued a Secretarial Letter granting EDCs the ability to file their Act 129 Phase II EE&C Plan any time between November 1st and November 15th. This extension was granted in recognition of the need for EDC personnel to focus on storm response duties due to Hurricane Sandy.

PPL Electric Utilities would like you to know that we filed our Act 129 Phase II Plan on November 15th. The Phase II Plan is available for your review on our website by clicking here.

On behalf of PPL Electric Utilities, I’d like to thank you for your participation in our stakeholder meetings, as well as the input and ideas you shared with us during the plan development process.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mary Thompson Grassi at methompsongrassi@pplweb.com
Thank you.

From Newsvine:

The North Pacific - Kuroshio Current flows from 40 to 120 kilometer each day over a distance separating Japan from California of just under 9,000 kilometer. Radioactive sea water began to contaminate the Pacific from California to Alaska in March 2012.

This carries sea water from Japan to the west coast of the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

Don't think you won't be affected if you don't live near the Pacific. 80% of seafood is imported to the US.

To the Act 129 Email Distribution Group,
 
With the abundance of reports and plans coming into the Commission all at once, I wanted to send out an email clarifying how the utilities will be filing documents related to Act 129 EE&C.

Phase I Quarterly and Annual Reports: These should be filed under the EDCs’ respective M-2009-####### docket numbers.

Phase II EE&C Plans: The Commission’s Secretary’s Bureau will be assigning these new M-2012-####### docket numbers.  This will help delineate between Phase I and Phase II filings and prevent dockets from getting overburdened with documents.

Phase II Quarterly and Annual Reports: These will be filed under the EDCs’ new M-2012-####### docket numbers.

As always, the Commission will try to post these documents within the Act 129 pages of its website.  We always recommend using the Search for Public Documents tool to find documents that may not be on the 129 pages.  Additionally, the EDCs are to post all EE&C plans, as well as their quarterly and annual reports, on their websites.  We have links to their websites on the Act 129 Reporting page of our website.

If you have any questions, please let me know.  Please pass this on to anyone I may have missed.

 

Thanks!
Megan

In accordance with the 1988 amendment to the Act, the NRC's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) was established on April 15, 1989, as an independent and objective unit to conduct and supervise audits and conduct investigations relating to NRC's programs and operations. The purpose of OIG's audits and investigations is to prevent and detect fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement, and promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in NRC programs and operations. In addition, OIG reviews existing and proposed regulations, legislation, and directives, and provides comments, as appropriate, regarding any significant concerns.

HARRISBURG – Eligible Pennsylvania residents are encouraged to apply for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).

LIHEAP helps low-income people pay their heating bills through home energy assistance grants and crisis grants. Cash grants are awarded based on household income, family size, type of heating fuel and region. Crisis grants are provided in the event of a heating emergency, including broken heating equipment or leaking lines that must be fixed or replaced, lack of fuel, termination of utility service or danger of being without fuel or of having utility service terminated. In most counties, assistance with home heating crisis situations is available 24 hours a day.

The Department of Public Welfare is sending all LIHEAP clients who applied online last year a postcard notice encouraging them to reapply online. In the past, the department sent only paper applications to all perspective clients, even if those individuals applied online the previous year. Previous recipients of LIHEAP had the opportunity to apply prior to the LIHEAP program opening date of Nov. 1.

Prior applicants who did not apply online last year will still be mailed paper applications.

By way of the new postcard, clients will be provided with a pre-registration number giving them access to an online application that has already been filled out using last year’s data. Clients will simply have to ensure online information is correct and update anything that may have changed, such as an address.

All online applications are sent straight to the county office to determine eligibility, thereby eliminating mail and hand processing time.

New applicants can now begin applying for the program.
