small business customers must affirmatively enroll in the Program by a specific deadline described in the offer letter.

If a community elects to become an OOM, all eligible residential and small business customers in the authorized areas of MVCC are automatically included as participants in the Aggregation Program unless they opt-out of the program by providing written notice of their intention not to participate. As required by Ohio Law, the various communities jointly participating in the MVCC electric governmental aggregation passed a Resolution or Ordinance, which authorized submitting the selection of opt-out aggregation to the community's voters. The voters approved opt-out aggregation in each community and the community decided to join the MVCC Program.

In addition to each community joining the MVCC program, it is also required to comply with various PUCO regulations. As required by PUCO regulations MVCC will file an application with the PUCO for certification as a Government Aggregator after MVCC approves this Plan. As required by regulations, MVCC advertised public hearing dates to discuss the Plan and held two hearings on the Plan.

MVCC anticipates selection of a Provider after receiving approval from the PUCO as a governmental aggregator. Upon Provider selection an opt-out notice for the MVCC Program will be sent to all eligible electric customers in MVCC's OOM communities setting forth the rates, terms, and conditions of the program. This notice will provide potential Aggregation participants at least 21 days to return an opt-out card or other similar notice.
