the costs and benefits of various proposals contained in the NOPR. The 
motion also states that the American Public Gas Association, the 
Independent Petroleum Association of America, the Natural Gas Supply 
Association, the Process Gas Consumers Group, the American Public Power 
Association, and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association 
have been contacted by Movants and that none of the trade associations 
contacted objects to the request for additional time.\1\
