MEMORANDUM AND ORDER In our Memorandum and Order of February 12, we indicated that the Applicant's testimony would be received first.

Counsel for Applicant has, by letter of February 14, requested that the order be changed so that the Staff witnesses will appear first.

Counsel observes that Applicant's testimony was prepared after and is partly responsive to the Staff testimony.

He states that the same sequence at the hearing would produce a clearer record.

It was partly for the reason that Applicant's testimony has already addressed the Staff testimony, sn? not vice versa,that we believed the Applicant should procsed first, followed by the Staff, then followed by whateve e responding testimony Applicant needs to submit.

We also einsidered the fact that the procedure anticipated by tt. 'Joard would be less disruptive of the Staff's activities because Staff witnesses are based in Atlanta.

The Applicant's witnesses, on the other hand, are 7003130ff5 based in Raleigh and they could conveniently return after the Staff witnesses if necessary.

However it appears that all parties have agreed to Applicant's proposal.

So long as the order of appearance produces an efficient hearing we leave it to the parties to determine the order of proceeding, but they should take into account any need for responsive testimony.

The parties are requested to inform the Board as soon as an agreement as to the order of witnesses is reached.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARD.
