Petition for Rehearing and Clarification 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 Public Utility Law Project for rehearing and clarification 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 and clarification of the Rate Plan Order.
Purpose:
To consider the petition for rehearing and clarification of the Rate Plan Order.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission is considering a petition filed by the Public Utility Law Project (PULP), on February 24, 2017, requesting rehearing and clarification 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, PULP alleges that the Rate Plan Order lacks clarity regarding the expected amount of conservation and further process; the Commission should reconsider recovery of post-Surcharge Order expenditures and the return that is allowed on Haverstraw Water Supply Project costs; the Commission committed errors of fact in response to Witness Kleinman’s testimony; and erred with respect to the incentive mechanism, rate case expense, and translation of customer documents. 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.
