Movants ask the \nCommission to hold this proceeding in abeyance by 90 days and, in so doing, extend certain \ndeadlines for responding to the June 18, 2026 Order to Show Cause (Show Cause Order).6 \nThe issues raised in the Show Cause Order raise complex and substantial issues that \nrequire due consideration to craft solutions that are appropriately tailored to the region.
