Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) To seek Commission approval to operate as an
				Integrated Distribution Company, an electric utility shall file a written plan by
				which it will implement, and affirm its commitment to comply with, the provisions of
				Subpart B before May 31, 2002. The implementation plan shall be sufficiently
				detailed so that the Commission can reasonably ascertain the systems, policies and
				practices that the electric utility will use to satisfy each of the requirements in
				Subpart B.
b) Within 45 days after an
				electric utility files an implementation plan with the Commission pursuant to
				subsection (a), the Commission shall approve, reject, or initiate a hearing to
				investigate the implementation plan. If the Commission takes no action within 45
				days, the implementation plan shall be deemed approved. If the Commission initiates
				a hearing to investigate the implementation plan, intervention in accordance with 83
				Ill. Adm. Code 200 shall be permitted. After the hearing, the Commission shall
				approve the implementation plan as filed or as modified by the Commission, or reject
				the implementation plan. In any order entered pursuant to this subsection, the
				Commission shall set forth its reasons for approving or rejecting an implementation
				plan.
c) In any order rejecting an
				implementation plan, the Commission shall specify the date by which an electric
				utility shall be in compliance with Subpart A. Within 45 days after the entry of a
				final order approving an implementation plan, or within 45 days after the
				implementation plan is permitted to go into effect without a Commission order
				pursuant to subsection (b), an electric utility shall be in full compliance with all
				requirements of Subpart B.
d) If the
				utility rejects any modifications made to an implementation plan by the Commission,
				it shall notify the Commission of its rejection within 10 days after the entry of
				the final order and submit an implementation plan pursuant to Section
				452.170 within 45
				days after the entry of a final order or within 45 days after a denial of any
				applications for rehearing, whichever is later.
e) An electric utility may at any time elect to no
				longer qualify as an Integrated Distribution Company. An electric utility making
				such an election shall immediately file an implementation plan pursuant to Section
				452.170 for
				Commission approval. Upon the filing of such a plan, an electric utility shall be
				subject to all requirements of Subpart A of this Part.
f) Each IDC shall file with the Commission
				revisions to an approved implementation plan within 7 days after revision or at such
				time as designated by the Commission. The Commission may initiate a proceeding to
				disallow or modify any revision; in that proceeding, the burden shall be upon the
				IDC to demonstrate that the revision is consistent with the provisions of this
				Subpart B.
