periodically prior to the hearing date, as items scheduled for hearing 
may be postponed if additional time is deemed necessary to complete the 
Commission's review, and items may be added up to ten days prior to the

June 9 or a previous date. Commission consideration on June 10 of items 
for which the public hearing is closed may result in either approval of 
the item (by docket or resolution) as proposed, approval with changes, 
denial, or deferral. When the Commissioners defer an action, they may 
announce an additional period for written comment on the item, with or 
without an additional hearing date, or they may take additional time to
