Hi Maria - it's an interesting thought.
I wonder, as the IO's "list" came from the scope he was given in the
new applicant guidebook - presumably this was the result of some
community discussion and agreement as it was developed about what
"public interest" objections might cover. So perhaps start there as a
minimum - but there may have been NCUC submissions on the point that
were wider in scope, perhaps check the www.ncuc.org webpage?
Happy to help with ideas on this
Joy
