DAR File No.: 42767
Filed: 04/05/2018 08:32:23 AM

NOTICE 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:

Sections 113 and 115 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act of 1978 (PURPA), codified at 16 U.S.C 2623 and 2625, establish standards for Master Metered multiple tenancy dwellings that make it necessary for the Public Service Commission (PSC) to set the standards and exemptions in this rule. Sections 54-4-1 and 54-3-1 direct the PSC to ensure and require public utilities to provide, "just and reasonable" service, including reduction of periodic variations in demand and encouraging conservation of resources and energy.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received in the last five years.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The standards in this rule for Master Metered multiple tenancy dwellings continue to be relevant and necessary to the PSC's duty to supervise and regulate electric utility companies in Utah. Therefore, the rule should be continued.
