Changing the current process under which a public utility must petition the Public Service Commission for approval to terminate utility service in some instances, this proposed rule change eliminates the requirement for the utility to petition for approval. Instead, the proposed rule change increases the disclosures the public utility is required to include in a notice of proposed termination involving life-supporting equipment (clearly and plainly informing the customer of the customer's rights), and provides to the affected customer a right to request an expedited hearing within the same time frame currently allowed to protest a petition for approval.
