Florida Administrative Code › 25 - PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION › 25 - Departmental › Chapter 25-6 - ELECTRIC SERVICE BY ELECTRIC PUBLIC UTILITIES › Part II - RECORDS AND REPORTS › Section 25-6.0142 - Uniform Retirement Units for Electric Utilities

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) The rules and definitions set forth below
				  are intended to establish uniform retirement units and establish capitalization
				  versus expensing guidelines for electric utilities and do not relieve any
				  utility from maintaining its accounts and records in conformity with the
				  Uniform System of Accounts prescribed by the Code of Federal Regulations, Title
				  18, Chapter I, Subchapter C, Part 101 as adopted by Rule
				   25-6.014, F.A.C., except as
				  provided in subsections (2) through (11) of this rule.

				  following definitions shall apply:
(a)
				  Average Inventory cost - An estimate of original material cost for a group of
				  items having similar characteristics.

				  reinstallation is treated as being in service.
(e) Item - A single identifiable unit of
				  utility plant. Capitalization criteria shall apply to the single item and not
				  to a block or group of such items purchased on one order.

				  retirement unit or unreplaced minor item, except where removal is of a
				  "cradle-to-grave" item.

(1) This rule defines the "fair value" of
				  energy generated while testing an electric generating unit under construction
				  and before the unit is declared commercial, in conformity with the Uniform

				  construction is delivered to the utility's electric system for distribution and
				  sale, or is delivered to an associated company, or is delivered to and used by
				  the utility for purposes other than distribution or sale, the utility's
				  construction work order shall be credited with the "fair value" of the energy
				  so delivered.
Florida Administrative Code › 25 - PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION › 25 - Departmental › Chapter 25-6 - ELECTRIC SERVICE BY ELECTRIC PUBLIC UTILITIES › Part II - RECORDS AND REPORTS › Section 25-6.015 - Location and Preservation of Records

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1)
				  All records that a utility is required to keep by reason of these or other
				  rules prescribed by the Commission shall be kept at the office or offices of
				  the utility within this state, unless otherwise authorized by the
				  Commission.
(2) Any utility that
				  keeps its records outside of the state shall reimburse the Commission for the
				  reasonable travel expenses incurred by each Commission representative during
				  any review of the out-of-state records of the utility or its affiliates.
				  Reasonable travel expenses are those travel expenses that are equivalent to
				  travel expenses paid by the Commission in the ordinary course of its business.
(a) The utility shall remit reimbursement for
				  out-of-state travel expenses within 30 days from the date the Commission mails
				  the invoice.
(b) The reimbursement
				  requirement in subsection (2) shall be waived for any utility that makes its
				  out-of-state records available at the utility's office located in Florida or at
				  another mutually agreed upon location in Florida within 10 working days from
				  the Commission's initial request. If the utility demonstrates that 10 working
				  days is not reasonable because of the complexity and nature of the issues
				  involved or the volume and type of material requested, the Commission will
				  establish a different time frame for the utility to bring records into the
				  state. For individual data requests made during an audit, the response time
				  frame in Rule  25-6.0151, F.A.C., shall
				  control.
Florida Administrative Code › 25 - PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION › 25 - Departmental › Chapter 25-6 - ELECTRIC SERVICE BY ELECTRIC PUBLIC UTILITIES › Part II - RECORDS AND REPORTS › Section 25-6.0151 - Audit Access to Records

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
This rule addresses the reasonable access to utility and
					 affiliate records provided by Section
					  366.093(1),
					 F.S., for the purposes of management and financial audits.
(1) The audit scope, audit program and
				  objectives, and audit requests are not constrained by relevancy standards
				  narrower than those provided by Section
				   366.093(1),
				  F.S.
(2) Reasonable access means
				  that company responses to audit requests for access to records shall be fully
				  provided within the time frame established by the auditor. In establishing a
				  due date, the auditor shall consider the location of the records, the volume of
				  information requested, the number of pending requests, the amount of
				  independent analysis required, and reasonable time for the utility to review
				  its response for possible claims of confidentiality or privilege.
(3) In those instances where the utility
				  disagrees with the auditor's assessment of a reasonable response time to the
				  request, the utility shall first attempt to discuss the disagreement with the
				  auditor and reach an acceptable revised date. If agreement cannot be reached,
				  the utility shall discuss the issue with successive levels of supervisors at
				  the Commission until an agreement is reached. If necessary, a final decision
				  shall be made by the Prehearing Officer. If the audit is related to an
				  undocketed case, the Chairman shall make the decision.
(4) The utility and its affiliates shall have
				  the opportunity to safeguard their records by copying them or logging them out,
				  provided, however, that safeguard measures shall not be used to prevent
				  reasonable access by Commission auditors to utility or affiliate
				  records.
(5) Reasonable access to
				  records includes reasonable access to personnel to obtain testimonial evidence
				  in response to inquiries or through interviews.
(6) Nothing in this rule shall preclude
				  Commission auditors from making copies or taking notes. In the event these
				  notes relate to documents for which the company has asserted confidential
				  status, such notes shall also be given confidential status.
(7) Form PSC/APA 6 (2/95), entitled "Audit
				  Document And Record Request/Notice of Intent" is incorporated by reference into
				  this rule. This form is used by auditors when requests are formalized. This
				  form documents audit requests, the due dates for responses, and all Notices of
				  Intent to Seek Confidential Classification.

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Each electric utility in Florida that
				  owns or controls electric generation facilities must have on file with the
				  Commission a long-term energy emergency plan to establish a systematic and
				  effective means of anticipating, assessing, and responding to a long-term
				  emergency caused by a fuel supply shortage. A long-term utility energy
				  emergency exists when the fuel supplies of an individual utility are decreasing
				  or are anticipated to decrease below a level adequate to provide continuous,
				  uninterrupted service to its customers.
(2) Beginning on January 31, 1999, and every
				  three calendar years thereafter, each utility subject to this rule must notify
				  the Commission in writing that the utility has reviewed its fuel emergency
				  plan.
(a) If a utility determines that its
				  existing plan requires modification, a revised plan shall be submitted for
				  Commission approval with the notification of review.
(b) If a utility determines no changes are
				  necessary, the utility must file a letter stating that the required review has
				  been conducted and that the existing plan continues to be
				  adequate.
