In a September 26, 2018 hearing the NDPSC approved an overall annual revenue increase of $4.6 million (3.1%) and a ROE of 9.77% on a 52.5% equity capital structure. This compares with OTP’s March 2018 adjusted annual revenue increase request of $7.1 million (4.8%) and a requested ROE of 10.3%. The NDPSC’s approval does not require any rate base adjustments from OTP’s original request and establishes a Generation Cost Recovery rider for future recovery of costs incurred for Astoria Station. The net revenue increase reflects a reduction in income tax recovery requirements related to the TCJA and decreases in rider revenue recovery requirements. Final rates will be effective February 1, 2019, with refunds of excess revenues collected under interim rates applied to customers’ April 2019 bills. OTP has accrued an interim rate refund of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2018, which includes the $0.8 million in excess revenue collected for income taxes under interim rates in effect in January and February 2018.

OTP may prepay all or any part of the 2018 Notes (in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment) at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with unpaid accrued interest and a make-whole amount; provided that if no default or event of default exists under the 2018 Note Purchase Agreement, any prepayment made by OTP of all of the 2018 Notes then outstanding on or after August 7, 2047 will be made without any make-whole amount. The 2018 Note Purchase Agreement also requires OTP to offer to prepay all outstanding 2018 Notes at 100% of the principal amount together with unpaid accrued interest in the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the 2018 Note Purchase Agreement) of OTP.

One of the main reasons of this could be that there will be major map changes, with Polar Peak in particular facing an uncertain future as it fits the Season 7 theme, but likely won’t fit next seasons theme. Season 7 ends of Wednesday 27th February, so there’s less than a week to unlock the Prisoner skin and all of the stages.

Stainless steel is currently the most preferred raw material used to manufacture pipes, owing to its less corrosive and easy-to-fabricate nature. However, carbon steel or mild steel has certain inherent advantages over stainless steel – carbon steel has more strength, is more malleable, and provides better thermal conductivity than stainless steel. Owing to these factors, carbon steel is slowly being preferred over stainless steel in the manufacturing of heavy equipment. Advancements in welding and fabrication technology may lead to increased adoption of carbon steel over stainless steel, thereby negatively impacting revenue growth of the stainless steel welded pipes market.

On February 12, 2015 another group of stakeholders filed a complaint with the FERC seeking to reduce the ROE component of the transmission rates that MISO transmission owners, including OTP, may collect under the MISO Tariff from 12.38% to a proposed 8.67%. This second complaint established a second 15-month refund period from February 12, 2015 to May 11, 2016. The FERC issued an order on June 18, 2015 setting the complaint for hearings before an ALJ, which were held the week of February 16, 2016. A non-binding decision by the presiding ALJ was issued on June 30, 2016 finding that the MISO transmission owners’ ROE should be 9.7%. OTP is currently waiting for the issuance of a FERC order on the second complaint.

"They knew the city’s secrets," he says. "They knew the subterranean rivers and the abandoned subway stations and all of these places that the people on the surface never think about."

In this beginning-level class, participants will become familiar with the various buttons and dials on their cameras and what they mean. They will learn to change from one mode to the next, how to re-format a memory card, change pictures quality and more.

A simulation room, with a motion platform, heavy-duty fans, mist, strobe lights and a 3D movie shows a worst-case typhoon, to give workers a taste of what could happen if they didn’t seek safety.

In Columbus, buses were shut down for faulty transmissions, check engine lights, excessive smoking, oil leaks, burning smell and other maintenance issues.
