This is a public hearing on proposed

only items discussed during this hearing will be the  
proposed changes to the rule set. This hearing will not  
be covering any questions or discussions on any other  
issues.  
We are calling this hearing to order at  
9:04 on January 5, 2022, at the G. Mennen Williams
