99. Letter from Arkansas Public Service Commission (APSC) to Fellow Entergy Regulators reaffirms its decision to join the Entergy Regional State Committee (ERSC) and has approved in principle the draft Bylaws dated August 18, 2009. The Commission agrees as followed: 1) that the ERSC should be composed of one representative from each retail regulatory body, and 2) the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) that each retail regulatory body should have one vote as well as the concept that the adoption of policy statements should be supported by four out of five votes with only a simple majority vote needed for procedural matters. It is the Commission view the bylaws dated August 18, 2009 are sufficient to form the ERSC and address the regional cost benefit study in the short-term. The Commission believes it will be best to consider what other authority, if any, the ERSC will have in relation to the Entergy Independent Coordinator of Transmission (ICT) Agreement once the ERSC is established.
