1Opinion of the Court
WILKEY, Circuit Judge:
Petitioner Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P) challenges an order of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) suspending for five months CL&P’s proposed new rate schedule. FERC and intervenor Connecticut Municipal Group (Municipals) urge us to dismiss the appeal as moot in view of CL&P’s settlement offer to refrain from seeking recovery of the suspended rates. We hold that this case is not moot, and set aside the suspension order because of the Commission’s failure to disclose reasons for the length of the suspension period.
