		Based on this information, applicant believes the operation of the natural gas system at the former base is subject to this Commission’s jurisdiction and that applicant is required to file for authority to provide natural gas service at the location.
		The rates proposed for applicant’s service at the Castle base (set forth in Exhibit E of the application) are equal to or less than the average rates for gas service in the area and, according to applicant, will provide sufficient revenues to maintain and continue the safe operation and provision of gas service.
		Based on the record, we conclude that a public hearing is not necessary, nor is it necessary to alter the preliminary determinations in Resolution ALJ 176-3038.

		They selected those bases because of their large presence in the local community and because the communities were sufficiently isolated geographically that the effects of the closures were expected to be both severe and measurable.
