Commonwealth Edison Company. ER00-3668-001. Settlement Issues. Commonwea=
lth Edison proposed to install equipment at its East Frankfort substation (=

tap connection and $300,000 ($1.2 million) for protective relaying as direc=
tly assignable to University Park; 2) rejected Commonwealth Edison's estima=
ted $9 million for the enhancement of East Frankfort and other changes to t=
he September 12 interconnection agreement not contemplated in the November =
8 order; and 3) rejected Commonwealth Edison's proposed $1.5 million charge=
related to the line relocation costs, set this matter for hearing, and hel=
d the hearing in abeyance pending settlement discussions between the partie=
s. On June 12, the Chief Judge issues an order designating a settlement ju=
dge, Judge Jacob Leventhal, and directing him to convene a settlement confe=
rence, to explore the possibility of settlement, to discuss the differences=
between the parties, and in general to conduct the settlement negotiations=
. Chief Judge also directs all parties to have persons present at the sett=
lement negotiations with authority to negotiate and accept or approve settl=
ement terms. Chief Judge explains that Judge Leventhal will be available to=
