DECISION ON REMAND

            On September 28, 1979, the Commission entered an order remanding this case to the undersigned to enter appropriate findings of fact and conclusions of law as to whether respondent’s notice of contest was timely filed, which would affect jurisdiction in this case.

            Prior to the time of the scheduled hearing on remand, the parties filed a stipulation in settlement of all matters in issue. Accordingly, it is submitted as a finding of fact that respondent seeks to withdraw its notice of contest, and concluded, as a matter of law, that the Commission has jurisdiction in this case since all allegations and assertions are consistent with the pleadings and record.

            The parties agree that the alleged violations have been abated and the proposed penalty, as amended, has been paid. It is, therefore, recommended that the Commission approve the settlement of the parties and affirm the citation.

 

SO ORDERED.

 

Dated this 24th day of January, 1980.
