MPPA is a joint action agency comprised of certain municipals located in the State of Michigan.  Accordingly, MPPA and its member municipals, by State law, are not required to abide to all sections of the above mentioned act.  However, any planning and siting of transmission facilities normally follows a similar procedure to ensure proper notice and input from stakeholders.
