LARS should be accepted by the Commission because it is just and reasonable.  Further, AR agrees that LARS is a reasonable response to and aligns with the requirements of the Commission’s Show Cause Order.[fn:2] \nTherefore, the APSC respectfully request that the Commission accept MISO’s LARS filing.\t\n\n\nRespectfully submitted,\n/s/ Luke Kinder\nBridgette Frazier \nLuke Kinder\nCommission Counsel \nArkansas Public Service Commission \n1000 Center Street \nP.O.
