consider any aspect of the remanded question on its own initiati?e.

Because of the remand's generic nature, it ~ay very welJ. be that the Cor:i.Inission decides net to ha'1e this illatter considered in individual adjudicatory proceedings instead, elects to have i.:..

-'- considered in an ongoing or new generic proceeding.

The

c. c.:..rcui t 6/

clearly leaves such an alternative open to the Commission.

In such an event, no further consideration ~y this 3oard ~av be necessary.

_]_/

\\'iith regard to the ":nani£est injustice" alleged ':Jy the Public Advocate, such assertions are spec~lative at l:lest.

In any event, anv claim of injury and request redress must be directed to t:"1e Co.mnission, net to this Licensing 3oar*:::.

To

~epeat, it is quite possi~le t~at intervenors will be required to ?Ursue this =atter through 6/

present proceeding.
