On December 28, 2001, the staff of the California Energy Commission (Energy Commission) filed its draft analysis of the Tracy Peaker Project (TPP) Application for Certification. The staff's draft analysis, known as the Staff Assessment (SA), is available on our web site at http://www.energy.ca.gov/sitingcases/tracypeaker; or you may call Cheri Davis, the project manager, (see below) to have it mailed to you.
