[28 Pa.B. 3474]

   Under the Administrative Rules of Practice and Procedure, 1 Pa. Code § 31.1, et seq., a prehearing/settlement conference shall be held on August 12, 1998, at 11 a.m. in Room 200, Administrative Hearings Office, Capitol Associates Building, 901 North Seventh Street, Harrisburg, PA 17102. Motions preliminary to those at hearing, protest petitions to intervene, or notices of intervention, if any, must be filed with the Docket Clerk on or before August 3, 1998. A party, person or entity petitioning to intervene, shall show cause by filing objections in writing on or before August 3, 1998, why this matter should not be consolidated with Doc. No. FC98-07-001, Appeal of Canada Life Assurance Company. A date for a hearing shall be determined, if necessary, at the August 12, 1998 prehearing/settlement conference.

   This is an appeal by members of the Pennsylvania Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association (PLHIGA) from determinations of the Board of Directors of PLHIGA dated May 1, 1998 and June 26, 1998, in which the Board declined to act on the members' appeal from PLHIGA's 1997 Assessment and Recalculated Annuity Assessment. The appeal seeks recalculation of certain assessments, prohibition of PLHIGA from retrospective recalculation or reassessments, modification of the assessment scheme and segregation of certain paid assessments into a dedicated interest-bearing escrow account.

   Persons with a disability who wish to attend the above-referenced administrative hearing and require an auxiliary aid service or other accommodation to participate in the hearing, should contact Tracey Pontius, Agency Coordinator at [phone].
