(a) Statements of intent. No electric utility or public
utility, other than an electric cooperative that has elected to be
exempt from rate regulation under PURA chapter 36, may make changes
in its rates except by filing a statement of intent with the regulatory
authority having original jurisdiction at least 35 days prior to the
effective date of the proposed change. The statement of intent shall
include proposed revisions of tariffs and schedules and a statement
specifying in detail each proposed change, the effect the proposed
change is expected to have on the revenues of the electric utility
or public utility, the effective date of the proposed rate change,
the classes and numbers of utility ratepayers affected, and a description
of the service for which a change is requested. For major rate proceedings,
the expected change in revenues must be expressed as an annual dollar
increase over adjusted test year revenues and as a percent increase
over adjusted test year revenues.
(b) Rate filing package. Any electric utility or public
utility filing a statement of intent to change its rates in a major
rate proceeding under PURA chapter 36, subchapter C or chapter 53,
subchapter C shall file a rate filing package and supporting workpapers
as required by the commission’s current rate filing package
at the same time it files a statement of intent. The rate filing package
shall be securely bound under cover, and shall include all information
required by the commission’s rate filing package form in the
format specified. Examination for sufficiency and correction of deficiencies
in rate filing packages is governed by §22.75 of this title (relating
to Examination and Correction of Pleadings and Documents).
(c) Uncontested applications subject to administrative
review. If no motion to intervene is filed by the deadline for filing
motions to intervene, the application may be considered under the
procedure set forth in §22.32 of this title (relating to Administrative
Review).
