Petition for Rehearing of the Rate Plan Order
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering a petition filed by the Municipal Consortium for rehearing of the Order Establishing Rate Plan for Suez Water New York Inc. (Rate Plan Order), issued on January 24, 2017.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, sections 5, 22, 89-b and 89-c
Subject:
Petition for rehearing of the Rate Plan Order.
Purpose:
To consider the petition for rehearing of the Rate Plan Order.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering a petition filed by the Municipal Consortium, on February 23, 2017, requesting rehearing of the January 24, 2017 Order Establishing Rate Plan for Suez Water New York Inc. (Rate Plan Order), issued in Case 16-W-0130. Among other things, the Municipal Consortium alleges that the Rate Plan Order is founded on an error of law in that the Commission set rates based on invoices that do not conform to the Uniform System of Accounts and that the Commission committed an error of fact by concluding that Staff conducted a proper audit of Haverstraw Water Supply Project expenditures. The full text of the petition may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. Upon conducting its evaluation of the petition, the Commission may reaffirm its initial decision or adhere to it with additional rationale in denying the petition, modify or reverse the decision in granting the petition in whole or in part, or take such other or further action as it deems necessary with respect to the petition. However, the Commission will limit its review to the issues raised by the above-referenced petition.
