Regulation of Revenue Requirements for Municipal Utilities by the Public Service Commission
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Public Service Commission is considering whether to grant, deny or modify, in whole or in part, the Village of Freeport's petition for a Declaratory Ruling and Policy Statement regarding the regulation of revenue requirements for municipal utilities.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 2(12), (16), 5(1), 30, 65(1), (2), (3), 66(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (7), (8), (9), (10), (12)(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (14), 72, 76, 113(2) and 114
Subject:
Regulation of revenue requirements for municipal utilities by the Public Service Commission.
Purpose:
To determine whether the regulation of revenue requirements for municipal utilities should be modified.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering whether to grant, deny or modify, in whole or in part, the Village of Freeport's (Freeport) petition for a declaratory ruling and policy statement on the regulation of revenue requirements for municipal utilities. Freeport requests that the Commission issue a declaratory ruling that Article 4 of the Public Service Law does not require the Commission to continue the current, cost-of-service formula for determining the revenue requirements of municipal utilities. In addition, Freeport seeks the issuance of a Policy Statement promulgating the use of "benchmarking" to determine the revenue requirement of municipal utilities.
