Current through August 31, 2023
01.
Tariff
					 Advices Authorized
. Public utilities may file tariffs adding new or
					 modifying existing services, providing for new or modified rules, or otherwise
					 making minor changes to existing schedules by tariff advice. The tariff advice
					 must include a transmittal letter from the utility listing all tariff pages
					 changed or added by the tariff advice and briefly stating the reason for the
					 tariff advice. If existing tariffs are changed, the advice must contain two (2)
					 copies of each changed page: one (1) showing all the changes with appropriate
					 symbols for deletions, additions, etc., and one (1) showing the pages after the
					 changes as they will appear in the proposed new tariffs. (3-31-22)
02.
Filing of Tariff Advice
. No
					 tariff advice can be effective unless notice is given to the Commission and the
					 public under Sections
					 61-307 and
					 61-622, Idaho Code. Tariff advices
					 typically do not take effect on less than thirty (30) day notice. If the tariff
					 advice proposes an effective date fewer than thirty (30) days after it is
					 filed, the proposed effective date is delayed until thirty (30) days after the
					 tariff advice is filed by operation of Sections
					 61-307 and
					 61-622, Idaho Code, unless the
					 Commission finds good cause to approve an earlier effective date. Absent an
					 order approving or suspending the tariff advice, the tariff advice takes effect
					 thirty (30) days after filing or on the proposed effective date, whichever is
					 later. If no effective date is proposed for the tariff advice, the tariff
					 advice does not take effect until approved by order or minute entry. If a
					 tariff advice is suspended, the Commission will open a formal proceeding and
					 treat the tariff advice as an application. (3-31-22)
03.
Ex Parte Action
. Ordinarily,
					 the Commission acts upon tariff advices with the assistance of a written ex
					 parte recommendation of the Commission Staff. The Commission acts upon tariff
					 advices at its open meetings. If Staff believes the tariff advice proposes
					 non-minor changes, then Staff should recommend the Commission process the
					 tariff advice as an application, suspending the proposed effective date as
					 needed. (3-31-22)
