STATE CORPORATION COMMISSION

CASE NO. PUE-2008-00001

Ex Parte: In the matter of revising
the rules of the State Corporation Commission
governing utility rate increase applications
pursuant to Chapter 933
of the 2007 Acts of Assembly

ORDER ADOPTING REGULATIONS

On January 29, 2008, the State Corporation Commission ("Commission") entered an Order for Notice and Comment in this docket ("Order") establishing a proceeding to revise the Commission's Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings, ("Rate Case Rules").¹ Draft revisions to the Rate Case Rules ("Proposed Rules") prepared by the Commission Staff ("Staff") were appended to the Order.

The Order permitted interested persons to submit on or before April 14, 2008 (i) comments concerning the Proposed Rules; (ii) notices of participation under our rules (for those intending to participate in this proceeding as respondents); and (iii) requests, by respondents, for oral argument concerning the draft rules. The Order further required the Staff to file on or before May 9, 2008, a report with the Clerk of the Commission concerning the comments submitted to the Commission ("Staff Report").

Comments concerning the Proposed Rules were timely received from (i) the Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Virginia Power ("DVP"); (ii) Appalachian Power Company ("Appalachian"); (iii) the Potomac Edison Company d/b/a Allegheny Power ("Allegheny"); (iv) Kentucky Utilities d/b/a Old Dominion Power Company; (v) Columbia Gas of Virginia; Roanoke Gas Company; Virginia Natural Gas; Washington Gas Light Company; Aqua Virginia, Inc.; Massanutten Public Service Company; Virginia American Water Company; Atmos Energy Corporation ("Joint Respondents");² (vi) the Office of the Attorney General, Division of Consumer Counsel ("Consumer Counsel"); and (vii) the Virginia Committee for Fair Utility Rates and the Old Dominion Committee for Fair Utility Rates (filing jointly, hereafter "the Committees").

Thereafter, on May 1, 2008, the Commission, on Staff's motion, entered an Order extending the filing deadline for the Staff Report in this docket from May 9, 2008, to July 15, 2008. Additionally, such Order permitted interested parties and respondents that filed initial comments in this proceeding on or before April 14, 2008, an opportunity to file comments on or before August 15, 2008, replying to the Staff's Report, and, if desired, to the initial comments of any other interested party or respondent. Finally, the Commission's May 1, 2008 Order scheduled oral argument in this docket on September 16, 2008, in response to requests therefor from participants in this proceeding.

The Staff filed its Staff Report in this docket on July 15, 2008. Thereafter, reply comments in response to the Staff Report or in response to the initial comments of other participants in this docket were timely filed by all participants who filed initial comments.

On September 16, 2008, the Commission received oral argument on the proposed rules.³ The Commission's Staff and the following parties participated: DVP, Appalachian, Allegheny, Joint Respondents, Consumer Counsel, and the Committees. At the conclusion of the oral argument, the Commission established a 30‑day interval in which the parties were permitted to submit additional information to the Commission concerning any consensus reached among the parties regarding any issue then remaining in contention. On October 20, 2008, DVP filed additional comments.

NOW UPON CONSIDERATION of the comments filed herein together with the representations and advisements of counsel at the oral argument, we find that we should adopt the rules appended hereto as Attachment A, effective January 1, 2009.

The regulations we adopt herein contain a number of modifications to those that were first proposed by the Commission Staff and published in the Virginia Register on February 18, 2008. These modifications follow our consideration of further proposed changes made to those rules by the Staff prior to (and contemporaneous with) the September 16, 2008, hearing in this docket, other changes suggested by the parties at the hearing, and our analysis of the entire record in this proceeding. We will not comment on each rule in detail, but we will comment on several of them.

First, we note that DVP and others suggested that the "60 day prior notice" requirement expressed in 20 VAC 5‑201‑10 A could practically impede utilities' ability to obtain rate relief on January 1, 2009—the day following the expiration of capped electric rates and the first date on which many of the ratemaking provisions in § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia ("Code") (in the case of investor-owned electric utilities) become available. While we will retain the 60 day notice requirement in this rule, we emphasize that 20 VAC 5-201-10 E permits the Commission to grant waivers of these rules for good cause shown. However, the Commission would urge those intending to seek such waivers to request them as soon as possible. Further, prior to the implementation of these rules, rate case applicants should provide notice of intent to file such applications in a timely manner.

Second, we address an issue given much consideration in the parties' comments and at the hearing, namely the provisions of draft rule 20 VAC 5-201-10 C. This provision has antecedents in our current rules, and operates to preclude parties from raising in the context of earnings test filings made pursuant to these rules, issues previously decided by Commission Order in an applicant's most recent rate case. While we note that (i) Staff reiterated its technical concerns about including a provision directed at potential, future case participants in rules governing rate case applicants, and (ii) the Committees' more general opposition to the presence of a rule effecting issue preclusion, we will retain this provision in the rules we adopt herein. However, as suggested by the Joint Respondents, we have modified this provision to clarify that it is applicable to the earnings test components of general and expedited rate cases.

Third, we consider the requirement expressed in 20 VAC 5-201-10 D that applications filed pursuant to these rules shall not be deemed filed under Chapters 10 or 23 of Title 56 of the Code "unless they are in full compliance with these rules." AEP and Allegheny raised concerns about the "full compliance" requirement on the basis that delay in processing rate applications could result from the operation of this language. Indeed, both parties suggested that the Commission establish a "substantial" or "material" compliance threshold. However, the rules we adopt herein retain the "full compliance" language because it is the standard contained in our current rate case rules and we are not aware of any practical difficulties resulting from its incorporation into those rules in 1999. We conclude, therefore, that the Staff's issuances of memoranda of completeness in these cases as required by Rule 160 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (5 VAC 5‑20‑160) has, to date, been accomplished with dispatch and reasonableness. We would expect such practice to continue hereafter, and so the rules we adopt herein will retain the "full compliance" requirement expressed in 20 VAC 5‑201‑10 D.

Fourth, Consumer Counsel requested that rule 20 VAC 5-201-10 F be modified to provide to Consumer Counsel immediate access to information deemed to be confidential by the applicant. We adopt the rule as proposed; however, we encourage applicants and parties to utilize, to the fullest extent possible, protective orders which should operate to provide confidential information to rate case participants in a timely manner.

Fifth, the parties, Staff and the Commission discussed at the oral argument the requirement in 20 VAC 5‑201‑10 H of the draft rules that applicants furnish certain schedules in Microsoft Excel format. While all acknowledged that Excel is currently an industry standard for electronic spreadsheets, such standards change over time—sometimes quickly—and thus specifying a proprietary product in our rules may not be appropriate. Consequently, we have modified this rule to simply provide that the electronic spreadsheet format utilized by applicants be "commercially available and have common use in the utility industry."

Sixth, the Joint Respondents proposed to delete the word "historic" from 20 VAC 5‑201‑20 B. We will retain such term in this rule. The use of a historic test year provides basic information concerning an applicant's cost of service which can be adjusted based on projections as allowed per § 56‑235.2 of the Code.

Seventh, the Joint Respondents expressed objections in both filed comments, and at the oral argument to the provisions of 20 VAC 5‑201‑40 A, requiring that all rate schedules be filed by applicants seeking the Commission's approval of a Performance Based Regulation ("PBR") plan pursuant to these rules. As the basis for their objection, they assert that the provisions of § 56‑235.6 A of the Code authorizing PBRs expressly contemplate a departure from cost-of-service ratemaking, and thus requiring PBR applicants to file cost of service-related schedules is inconsistent with this statute. Joint Respondents also emphasized that § 56‑235.6 B of the Code establishes a "not excessive" benchmark for PBR rates, versus the conventional "just and reasonable" standard associated with conventional cost of service ratemaking under § 56‑235.2 of the Code. We have determined, however, that the filing requirements expressed in 20 VAC 5‑201‑40 A will be retained in the rules we adopt in this proceeding. As noted by the Staff in its comments and at the hearing, the provisions of § 56‑235.6 C (iv) of the Code authorize the Commission to discontinue a PBR if rates are determined to be excessive when compared to cost of service and any benefits that accrue from the PBR. Thus, all schedules must be filed with an applicant's proposed PBR to determine, and thus benchmark, the applicant's cost of service in order to enable the Commission to make a fully informed decision regarding whether rates under the proposed PBR are excessive and to execute the provisions of § 56‑235.6 C (iv) of the Code, if necessary.

Eighth, with respect to the "off-year" filing requirement provided in Subsection C of draft rule 20 VAC 5‑201‑50, we have determined that this requirement is unnecessary, and have eliminated this Subsection. The Commission and its Staff are authorized by § 56‑36 of the Code to obtain all of the information by means of that statutory authority, and it is because of that specific statutory authority that Subsection C is deemed unnecessary at this time. We expect that all utilities will respond to Staff's request for information in a timely manner.

Ninth, 20 VAC 5‑201‑90⁴ identifies certain schedules and exhibits required in conjunction with filings made pursuant to these rules, and provides instructions for their preparation. The instructions for Schedule 29, provided in this rule, as proposed by the Staff, requires applicants to furnish certain work papers for earnings test and ratemaking adjustments. Allegheny and the Joint Respondents expressed concern that the requirement in draft paragraph (a) of the instructions for Schedule 29 that applicants provide information concerning "relative FASB statements[s] and Commission precedent[s]" for certain adjustments imposed a burdensome requirement. We have modified such paragraph (a) to require that the purpose of and methodology used for each such adjustment be furnished in narrative form, and that relevant FASB statements and Commission precedents be referenced "if known or available." This change should permit the Staff and parties to obtain the information they need relative to these adjustments while easing concerns utilities may have regarding the burden of furnishing such information.

Tenth, the Joint Respondents proposed a threshold for the expense analysis required in the instructions for Schedule 30. We adopt the proposed rule as modified by Staff at the oral argument noting that while the requirement may entail or necessitate analysis of lesser dollar items for smaller utilities, such smaller dollar items are equally material to the operating and maintenance expenses used to determine cost of service.

Finally, we note two miscellaneous changes to the draft rules. With respect to draft Schedule 46 in the Proposed Rules, we have determined that this requirement has limited future use and have eliminated it from the Proposed Rules. However, any applicant filing for a rate adjustment clause pursuant to § 56‑582 B (vi) or § 56‑585.1 A 5 a of the Code shall provide all significant documents, contracts, studies, investigations or correspondence that support actual costs for each rate adjustment for which the applicant is seeking initial approval. Such information should demonstrate that the costs are incremental and not reflected in previously approved rates.

Additionally, we have eliminated language in paragraph (b) (first reference) in the instructions for draft Schedule 47 in the Proposed Rules (now Schedule 46) that had required in conjunction with rate adjustment clause filings made pursuant to § 56‑585.1 A 6 of the Code, a statement demonstrating that a proposed generating unit is consistent with a least cost integrated resource plan. We have determined that such a statement is not necessary for purposes of these rules.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) We hereby repeal 5 VAC 5-200-30 and adopt the Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings to be set forth in a new Chapter 201 (20 VAC 5‑201-10 et seq.) in Title 20 of the Virginia Administrative Code, appended hereto as Attachment A, all to become effective on January 1, 2009.

(2) A copy of this Order and the rules adopted herein shall be forwarded promptly for publication in the Virginia Register of Regulations.

(3) This case is dismissed and the papers herein shall be placed in the filed for ended causes.

Commissioner Dimitri did not participate in this matter.

AN ATTESTED COPY hereof shall be sent by the Clerk of the Commission to all persons on the official Service List in this matter. The Service List is available from the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, 1300 East Main Street, First Floor, Tyler Building, Richmond, Virginia 23219.

________________________

¹ In adopting the rules proposed in this proceeding, we repeal former 20 VAC 5-200-30, and establish a new Chapter 201 (20 VAC 5-201-10, et seq.) in Title 20 of the Virginia Administrative Code.

² Columbia Gas of Virginia, Roanoke Gas Company, Virginia Natural Gas, Washington Gas Light Company, Aqua Virginia, Inc., Massanutten Public Service Company; and Virginia American Water Company submitted joint comments. Atmos Energy initially filed a timely notice of participatation without comments, and subsequently joined in the reply comments filed by the Joint Respondents on August 14, 2008.

³ With respect to our September 16, 2008, oral argument in this matter, we note that such argument was focused on several issues concerning which a clear consensus had not emerged among the Staff and various parties. We emphasize, however, that the fact that a particular issue was not addressed or discussed at the hearing does not lessen the extent to which we have considered it. The Commission has carefully considered all the comments filed herein.

⁴ 20 VAC 5-201-90 was previously identified as 20 VAC 5-201-100 in the proposed Rules. This section and subsequent sections were renumbered in the final version of the Rules we adopt herein.

20VAC5-201-20. General and expedited rate increase applications.

A. An application for a general or expedited rate increase pursuant to Chapter 10 (§ 56-232 et seq.) of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia for a public utility having annual revenues exceeding $1 million, shall conform to the following requirements:

1. Exhibits consisting of Schedules [ 1 through 44 1-43 ] and the utility's direct testimony shall be submitted. Such schedules shall be identified with the appropriate schedule number and shall be prepared in accordance with the instructions contained in 20VAC5-201-90.

B. The selection of a historic test period is up to the applicant. However, the use of overlapping test periods will not be allowed.

[ C. Applicants meeting each of the four following criteria may omit Schedules 9-18 in rate applications: (i) the applicant is not subject to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia, (ii) the applicant is not currently bound by a performance-based regulation plan authorized by the commission pursuant to § 56-235.6 of the Code of Virginia that includes an earnings sharing mechanism or other attribute for which the commission has directed the performance of an Earnings Test, (iii) the applicant has no Virginia jurisdictional regulatory assets on its books, and (iv) the applicant is not seeking to establish a regulatory asset. ]

[ C. D. ] If not otherwise constrained by law or regulatory requirements, an applicant who has not experienced a substantial change in circumstances may file an expedited rate application as an alternative to a general rate application. Such application need not propose an increase in regulated operating revenues. If, upon timely consideration of the expedited application and supporting evidence, it appears that a substantial change in circumstances has taken place since the applicant's last rate case, then the commission may take appropriate action, such as directing that the expedited application be dismissed or treated as a general rate application. Prior to public hearing, and subject to applicable provisions of law, an application for expedited rate increase may take effect within 30 days after the date the application is filed. Expedited rate increases may also take effect in less than 12 months after the applicant's preceding rate increase so long as rates are not increased as a result thereof more than once in any calendar year. An applicant making an expedited application shall also comply with the following rules:

1. In computing its cost of capital, as prescribed in Schedule 3 in 20VAC5-201-90, the applicant, other than those utilities subject to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia, shall use the equity return rate approved by the commission and used to determine the revenue [ requirements requirement ] in the utility's most recent rate proceeding.

3. The applicant may propose new allocation methodologies, rate designs and new or revised terms and conditions provided such proposals are supported by appropriate cost studies. Such support shall be included in Schedule 40.

[ D. E. ] Rates authorized to take effect 30 days following the filing of any application for an expedited rate increase shall be subject to refund in a manner prescribed by the commission. Whenever rates are subject to refund, the commission may also direct that such refund bear interest at a rate set by the commission.

20VAC5-201-30. Annual informational filings.

Unless modified per a commission-approved alternative regulatory plan, each utility not subject to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia, and which is not requesting a base rate increase shall make an annual informational filing consisting of Schedules 1-7, 9, 11-12, 14-19, 21-22, 24-25, [ 27-31 27, 28 ], [ 34-36, 38- and ] 40 [ and 44 a and b ] as identified in 20VAC5-201-90. The test period shall be the current 12 months ending in the same month used in the utility's most recent rate application. This information shall be filed with the commission within 120 days after the end of the test period. Accounting adjustments reflected in Column (2) of Schedule 21 shall incorporate the ratemaking treatment approved by the commission in the utility's last rate case and shall be calculated in accordance with the Expedited Rules of Schedule 25. Requirements found in 20VAC5-201-10 B 2 through [ B ] 4 may be omitted in Annual Informational Filings.

[ Applicants meeting each of the four following criteria may omit Schedules 9-18 in Annual Informational Filings: (i) the applicant is not subject to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia, (ii) the applicant is not currently bound by a performance-based regulation plan authorized by the commission pursuant to § 56-235.6 of the Code of Virginia that includes an earnings sharing mechanism or other attribute for which the commission has directed the performance of an Earnings Test, (iii) the applicant has no Virginia jurisdictional regulatory assets on its books, and (iv) the applicant is not seeking to establish a regulatory asset. ]

20VAC5-201-40. Optional performance-based [ regulations regulation ] applications.

A. An applicant, other than those subject to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia, that ] files an application for performance-based regulation pursuant to [ § 56-585.1 § 56-235.6 ] of the Code of Virginia shall file Schedules 1-32 and 34-43 as identified in 20VAC5-201-90.

B. An applicant subject to § 56-585.1 [ of the Code of Virginia ] that files a performance-based regulation filing pursuant to § 56-235.6 [ of the Code of Virginia ] shall file Schedules [ 1- 46 1-45 ] and [ 49 47 ] as identified in 20VAC5-201-90.

20VAC5-201-50. Biennial review applications.

A. A biennial review application filed pursuant to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia shall include the following:

1. Exhibits consisting of Schedules 3, 6-7, 9-18, 40a and 44 [ -45 ] as identified in 20VAC5-201-90 shall be submitted with the utility's direct testimony for [ each of the ] two successive 12-month test periods.

2. Exhibits consisting of Schedules 1-2, 4-5, 8, [ 19-39 19-34, 36-39 ], 40b-d, 41-43, [ 46 45 ] , and [ 49 47 ] as identified in 20VAC5-201-90, shall be submitted with the utility's direct testimony for the second of the two successive 12-month test periods.

3. An exhibit consisting of [ Schedule 35 shall be filed with the commission no later than April 30 each year.

4. An exhibit consisting of ] additional schedules may be submitted with the utility's direct testimony. Such exhibit shall be identified as Schedule [ 50 49 ] (this exhibit may include [ numerous sub-schedules subschedules as needed ] labeled [ 50A 49A ] et seq.).

[ 4. 5. ] A reconciliation of Schedules 19 and 22 to the statement of income and comparative balance sheet contained in FERC Form No. 1.

B. The assumed rate year for purposes of determining ratemaking adjustment in Schedules 21 and 24, as identified in 20VAC5-201-90, shall begin on December 1 of the year following the two successive 12-month test periods.

[ C. For purposes of attaining timelines established for biennial reviews in § 56-585.1 A 8 of the Code of Virginia, by March 31 of each year that a biennial review is not filed pursuant to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia, each investor-owned electric utility subject to § 56-585.1 of the Code of Virginia shall submit two copies of Schedules 9-25, 27-29, 40, and 44-45 for the previous 12-month test period with the commission's Division of Public Utility Accounting, the Division of Economics and Finance and the Division of Energy Regulation. These schedules do not constitute an Annual Informational Filing and will not result in any findings or conclusions outside the context of legislated biennial reviews. ]

20VAC5-201-60. Rate adjustment clause filings.
