DAR File No.: 39852
Filed: 10/19/2015 02:54:15 PMNOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION
Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:
This rule pertains to Subsection 54-4-4(3) which describes the Public Service Commission's use of test year data to set just and reasonable utility rates. The rule provides direction on how test year data may be adjusted to reflect partial period effects of test year events.
Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:
The commission has received no written comments since the last five-year review in 2010.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule will enable the Commission to more accurately coordinate a utility's rates with the utility's anticipated revenues and costs by recognizing that some of the conditions which arise during a test period are ongoing and must be spread over the entire period. Because of the use of test period operations as a measure of future operations to establish future rates, the need to focus on the quality of the test period data continues to be necessary, and therefore, this rule should be continued.
