The Attorney General encourages all applicants for a certificate of public advantage to initiate an informal proceeding before the beginning of a formal proceeding by filing a notice of intent to file application four (4) to eight (8) weeks before the formal filing of an application for a certificate of public advantage. The notice of the intent to file application is a public document that will be the subject of press releases or other attempts to inform the public of the proposed application. The notice of intent must list the parties that will file an application for a certificate of public advantage and generally describe the nature of the cooperative agreement that will be the subject of the application to follow.
