Take notice that on November 30, 2001, Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPS) tendered for filing a letter stating that CVPS will not file a Forecast 2002 Cost Report for FERC Electric Tariff, Original Volume No. 3.

Protests will be considered by the Commission to determine the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection.
