Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 22 - Electric Utility Resource Planning › Section 20 CSR 4240-22.010 - Policy Objectives

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule states the public policy goal that
				  this chapter is designed to achieve and identifies the objectives that the
				  electric utility resource planning process must serve.
(1) The commission's policy goal in
				promulgating this chapter is to set minimum standards to govern the scope and
				objectives of the resource planning process that is required of electric
				utilities subject to its jurisdiction in order to ensure that the public
				interest is adequately served. Compliance with these rules shall not be
				construed to result in commission approval of the utility's resource plans,
				resource acquisition strategies, or investment decisions.
(2) The fundamental objective of the resource
				planning process at electric utilities shall be to provide the public with
				energy services that are safe, reliable, and efficient, at just and reasonable
				rates, in compliance with all legal mandates, and in a manner that serves the
				public interest and is consistent with state energy and environmental policies.
				The fundamental objective requires that the utility shall-
(A) Consider and analyze demand-side
				resources, renewable energy, and supply-side resources on an equivalent basis,
				subject to compliance with all legal mandates that may affect the selection of
				utility electric energy resources, in the resource planning process;
(B) Use minimization of the present worth of
				long-run utility costs as the primary selection criterion in choosing the
				preferred resource plan, subject to the constraints in subsection (2)(C);
				and
(C) Explicitly identify and,
				where possible, quantitatively analyze any other considerations which are
				critical to meeting the fundamental objective of the resource planning process,
				but which may constrain or limit the minimization of the present worth of
				expected utility costs. The utility shall describe and document the process and
				rationale used by decision-makers to assess the tradeoffs and determine the
				appropriate balance between minimization of expected utility costs and these
				other considerations in selecting the preferred resource plan and developing
				the resource acquisition strategy. These considerations shall include, but are
				not necessarily limited to, mitigation of:
1.
				Risks associated with critical uncertain factors that will affect the actual
				costs associated with alternative resource plans;
2. Risks associated with new or more
				stringent legal mandates that may be imposed at some point within the planning
				horizon; and
3. Rate increases
				associated with alternative resource plans.
Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 22 - Electric Utility Resource Planning › Section 20 CSR 4240-22.030 - Load Analysis and Load Forecasting

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule sets minimum standards for the
				  maintenance and updating of historical data, the level of detail required in
				  analyzing loads, and the purposes to be accomplished by load analysis and by
				  load forecast models. The load analysis discussed in this rule is intended to
				  support both demand-side management efforts of
				  4 CSR
				  240-22.050 and the load forecast models of this rule.
				  This rule also sets the minimum standards for the documentation of the inputs,
				  components, and methods used to derive the load forecasts.
(1) Selecting Load Analysis Methods. The
				utility may choose multiple methods of load analysis if it deems doing so is
				necessary to achieve all of the purposes of load analysis and if the methods
				are consistent with, and calibrated to, one another. The utility shall describe
				and document its intended purposes for load analysis methods, why the selected
				load analysis methods best fulfill those purposes, and how the load analysis
				methods are consistent with one another and with the end-use consumption data
				used in the demand-side analysis as described in
				4 CSR
				240-22.050. At a minimum, the load analysis methods
				shall be selected to achieve the following purposes:
(A) To identify end-use measures that may be
				potential demand-side resources, general-l y, those end-use measures with an
				opportunity for energy and/or demand savings;
(B) To derive a data set of historical values
				from load research data that can be used as dependent and independent variables
				in the load forecasts;
(C) To
				facilitate the analysis of impacts of implemented demand-side programs and
				demand-side rates on the load forecasts and to augment measurement of the
				effectiveness of demand-side resources necessary for
				4 CSR
				240-22.070(8) in the evaluation of
				the performance of the demand-side programs or rates after they are
				implemented; and
(D) To preserve,
				in a historical database, the results of the load analysis used to perform the
				demand-side analysis as described in
				4 CSR
				240-22.050, and the load forecasting described in
				4 CSR
				240-22.030.
Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 22 - Electric Utility Resource Planning › Section 20 CSR 4240-22.045 - Transmission and Distribution Analysis

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule specifies the minimum standards
				  for the scope and level of detail required for transmission and distribution
				  network analysis and reporting.
(1) The electric utility shall describe and
				document its consideration of the adequacy of the transmission and distribution
				networks in fulfilling the fundamental planning objective set out in
				4 CSR
				240-22.010. Each utility shall consider, at a minimum,
				improvements to the transmission and distribution networks that-
(A) Reduce transmission power and energy
				losses. Opportunities to reduce transmission network losses are among the
				supply-side resources evaluated pursuant to
				4 CSR
				240-22.040(3). The utility shall
				assess the age, condition, and efficiency level of existing transmission and
				distribution facilities and shall analyze the feasibility and
				cost-effectiveness of transmission and distribution network loss-reduction
				measures. This provision shall not be construed to require a detailed
				line-by-line analysis of the transmission and distribution systems, but is
				intended to require the utility to identify and analyze opportunities for
				efficiency improvements in a manner that is consistent with the analysis of
				other supply-side resource options;
(B) Interconnect new generation facilities.
				The utility shall assess the need to construct transmission facilities to
				interconnect any new generation pursuant to
				4 CSR
				240-22.040(3) and shall reflect those
				transmission facilities in the cost benefit analyses of the resource
				options;
(C) Facilitate power
				purchases or sales. The utility shall assess the transmission upgrades needed
				to purchase or sell pursuant to
				4 CSR
				240-22.040(3). An estimate of the
				portion of costs of these upgrades that are allocated to the utility shall be
				reflected in the analysis of preliminary supply-side candidate resource
				options; and
(D) Incorporate
				advanced transmission and distribution network technologies affecting
				supply-side resources or demand-side resources. The utility shall assess
				transmission and distribution improvements that may become available during the
				planning horizon that facilitate or expand the availability and cost
				effectiveness of demand-side resources or supply-side resources. The costs and
				capabilities of these advanced transmission and distribution technologies shall
				be reflected in the analyses of each resource option.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule specifies the principles by which
				  potential demand-side resource options shall be developed and analyzed for cost
				  effectiveness, with the goal of achieving all cost-effective demand-side
				  savings. It also requires the selection of demand-side candidate resource
				  options that are passed on to integrated resource analysis in
				  4 CSR
				  240-22.060 and an assessment of their maximum
				  achievable potentials, technical potentials, and realistic achievable
				  potentials.
(1) The utility
				shall identify a set of potential demand-side resources from which demand-side
				candidate resource options will be identified for the purposes of developing
				the alternative resource plans required by
				4 CSR
				240-22.060(3). A potential
				demand-side resource consists of a demand-side program designed to deliver one
				(1) or more energy efficiency and energy management measures or a demand-side
				rate. The utility shall select the set of potential demand-side resources and
				describe and document its selection-
(A) To
				provide broad coverage of-
1. Appropriate
				market segments within each major class;
2. All significant decision-makers, including
				at least those who choose building design features and thermal integrity
				levels, equipment and appliance efficiency levels, and utilization levels of
				the energy-using capital stock; and
3. All major end uses, including at least the
				end uses which are to be considered in the utility's load analysis as listed in
				4 CSR
				240-22.030(4)(A)

				  standards for the scope and level of detail required in resource plan analysis
				  and for the logically consistent and economically equivalent analysis of
				  alternative resource plans. This rule also requires the utility to identify the
				  critical uncertain factors that affect the performance of alternative resource
				  plans and establishes minimum standards for the methods used to assess the
				  risks associated with these uncertainties.
(1) Resource Planning Objectives. The utility
				shall design alternative resource plans to satisfy at least the objectives and
				priorities identified in
				4 CSR
				240-22.010(2). The utility may
				identify additional planning objectives that alternative resource plans will be
				designed to meet. The utility shall describe and document its additional
				planning objectives and its guiding principles to design alternative resource
				plans that satisfy all of the planning objectives and priorities.
(2) Specification of Performance Measures.
				The utility shall specify, describe, and document a set of quantitative
				measures for assessing the performance of alternative resource plans with
				respect to resource planning objectives.
(A)
				These performance measures shall include at least the following:
1. Present worth of utility revenue
				requirements, with and without any rate of return or financial performance
				incentives for demand-side resources the utility is planning to
				request;
2. Present worth of
				probable environmental costs;
3.
				Present worth of out-of-pocket costs to participants in demand-side programs
				and demand-side rates;
4. Levelized
				annual average rates;
5. Maximum
				single-year increase in annual average rates;
6. Financial ratios (e.g., pretax interest
				coverage, ratio of total debt to total capital, ratio of net cash flow to
				capital expenditures) or other credit metrics indicative of the utility's
				ability to finance alternative resource plans; and
7. Other measures that utility
				decision-makers believe are appropriate for assessing the performance of
				alternative resource plans relative to the planning objectives identified in
				4 CSR
				240-22.010(2).
Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 22 - Electric Utility Resource Planning › Section 20 CSR 4240-22.070 - Resource Acquisition Strategy Selection

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule requires the utility to select a
				  preferred resource plan, develop an implementation plan, and officially adopt a
				  resource acquisition strategy. The rule also requires the utility to prepare
				  contingency plans and evaluate the demand-side resources that are included in
				  the resource acquisition strategy.
(1) The utility shall select a preferred
				resource plan from among the alternative resource plans that have been analyzed
				pursuant to the requirements of
				4 CSR
				240-22.060. The utility shall describe and document
				the process used to select the preferred resource plan, including the relative
				weights given to the various performance measures and the rationale used by
				utility decision-makers to judge the appropriate tradeoffs between competing
				planning objectives and between expected performance and risk. The utility
				shall provide the names, titles, and roles of the utility decision-makers in
				the preferred resource plan selection process. The preferred resource plan
				shall satisfy at least the following conditions:
(A) In the judgment of utility
				decision-makers, strike an appropriate balance between the various planning
				objectives specified in
				4 CSR
				240-22.010(2);
(B) Invest in advanced transmission and
				distribution technologies unless, in the judgment of the utility
				decision-makers, investing in those technologies to upgrade transmission and/or
				distribution networks is not in the public interest;
(C) Utilize demand-side resources to the
				maximum amount that comply with legal mandates and, in the judgment of the
				utility decision-makers, are consistent with the public interest and achieve
				state energy policies; and
(D) In
				the judgment of the utility decision-makers, the preferred plan, in conjunction
				with the deployment of emergency demand response measures and access to
				short-term and emergency power supplies, has sufficient resources to serve load
				forecasted under extreme weather conditions pursuant to
				4 CSR
				240-22.030(8)(B)  for the
				implementation period. If the utility cannot affirm the sufficiency of
				resources, it shall consider an alternative resource plan or modifications to
				its preferred resource plan that can meet extreme weather conditions.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule describes the LEC-to-LEC network
				  and adopts restrictions for use of that network.
(1) The LEC-to-LEC network is that part of
				the telecommunications network designed and used by telecommunications
				companies for the purposes of originating, terminating, and transiting local,
				intrastate/intraLATA, interstate/intraLATA, and wireless telecommunications
				services that originate via the use of feature group C protocol, as defined in
				4 CSR
				240-29.020(13) of this chapter.
				Inter-LATA wireline telecommunications traffic shall not be transmitted over
				the LEC-to-LEC network, but must originate and terminate with the use of an
				interexchange carrier point of presence, as defined in
				4 CSR
				240-29.020(31) of this chapter.
				Nothing in this section shall preclude a tandem carrier from routing interLATA
				wireline traffic to a nonaffiliated terminating carrier over the LEC-to-LEC
				network, provided such terminating carrier has agreed to accept such traffic
				from the tandem carrier and such acceptance is contained in a
				commission-approved interconnection agreement.

Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 29 - Enhanced Record Exchange Rules › Section 20 CSR 4240-29.040 - Identification of Originating Carrier for Traffic Transmitted over the LEC-to-LEC Network

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes a proper means of
				  identifying to transiting and terminating carriers all carriers who originate
				  traffic that is transmitted over the LEC-to-LEC network.
(1) All telecommunications companies that
				originate traffic that is transmitted over the Local Exchange Carrier-to-Local
				Exchange Carrier (LEC-to-LEC) network shall deliver originating caller
				identification with each call that is placed on the LEC-to-LEC
				network.
(2) All telecommunications
				carriers that transit LEC-to-LEC traffic for another carrier shall deliver
				originating caller identification to other transiting carriers and to
				terminating carriers.
(3) Nothing
				in this chapter shall be construed to alter, or otherwise change, the
				originating record creation, record exchange, and billing processes currently
				in place for telecommunications traffic transited by incumbent local exchange
				carriers on behalf of other incumbent local exchange carriers, except that such
				originating records created shall be category 11-01-XX records when requested
				by a terminating carrier.
(4) When
				transiting traffic for any carrier other than an incumbent local exchange
				carrier, originating tandem carriers shall, for each compensable call, create
				and make the following available upon request by a terminating carrier, at no
				charge to the terminating carrier:
(A) A
				category 11-01-XX record or, if no Carrier Identification Code is available, a
				Missouri-specific category 11-01-XX record.
(B) Nothing in (4)(A) above shall preclude
				two (2) carriers from mutually agreeing to exchange other types of billing
				records.
(C) A list of originating
				carriers connected to their tandem switch who originate traffic on the
				LEC-to-LEC network. The originating tandem carrier will ensure this list of
				originating carriers is readily accessible to any carrier involved in the
				completion of such calls. The originating tandem carrier will maintain the
				following information for carriers using its tandem switch to originate traffic
				on the LEC-to-LEC network: the name of the originating carrier plus the name,
				mailing address, telephone number and electronic address of an individual
				responsible for contacts regarding LEC-to-LEC network traffic billing and
				payment inquiries.
Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 29 - Enhanced Record Exchange Rules › Section 20 CSR 4240-29.050 - Option to Establish Separate Trunk Groups for LEC-to-LEC Telecommunications Traffic

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule enables terminating carriers to
				  establish trunking arrangements for LEC-to-LEC traffic separate and distinct
				  from trunking arrangements used for IXC traffic.
(1) At its discretion, a terminating carrier
				may elect to establish separate trunk groups for interexchange carrier (IXC)
				and Local Exchange Carrier-to-Local Exchange Carrier (LEC-to-LEC) traffic.
				Terminating tandem carriers shall work cooperatively with, and abide by
				requests of, terminating carriers to establish separate trunking arrangements
				for IXC and LEC-to-LEC traffic occurring between a terminating tandem carrier
				and a terminating end office.
(2) A
				transiting carrier may opt to not install separate trunk groups to a requesting
				terminating carrier if the transiting carrier assumes financial responsibility
				for all compensable transiting traffic delivered to the terminating
				carrier.
(3) All terminating
				carriers electing to create category 11-01-XX records shall establish a trunk
				group for LEC-to-LEC traffic that is separate from trunk groups for IXC
				traffic. Such LEC-to-LEC trunk group shall be used to connect the end office to
				the tandem serving that end office.
(4) After a terminating carrier elects to
				establish separate trunk groups for IXC and LEC-to-LEC traffic, IXC traffic
				shall not be placed on the LEC-to-LEC trunks between the terminating tandem
				carrier and terminating end office.

Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 29 - Enhanced Record Exchange Rules › Section 20 CSR 4240-29.060 - Special Privacy Provisions for End Users Who Block Their Originating Telephone Number

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule ensures end user privacy of
				  blocked numbers, and to ensure that blocked numbers are available to
				  terminating carriers for record creation purposes, without disclosure to the
				  called party.
(1) All
				originating carriers shall permit per-call blocking only in instances when the
				calling end user dials star 67 (*67, or 1167 from a rotary dial telephone),
				prior to dialing the telephone number.
(2) All originating carriers shall permit
				per-line blocking only for authorized federal, state, and local law enforcement
				agencies and private, nonprofit, tax-exempt domestic violence intervention
				agencies, and the employees of each who have a need for such blocking. When
				receiving a request for per-line blocking, each telecommunications company
				shall determine whether the request has been made by an authorized law
				enforcement or domestic violence intervention agency. Only after verification
				that a per-line blocking request satisfies this rule requirement may a
				telecommunications company enable per-line blocking.
(3) In all instances of per-call and per-line
				caller ID blocking, all originating carriers, transiting carriers, and traffic
				aggregators shall transmit the caller ID to the terminating carrier by the use
				of facilities designed to ensure that caller ID is not disclosed to the called
				party.
(4) In all instances of
				per-call and per-line blocking, terminating carriers shall neither deliver nor
				disclose the calling party's caller ID to the called party, but shall use such
				information solely for determining the juris-dictional and billing nature of
				the traffic.
*Original authority: 386.040, RSMo 1939 and
					 386.250, RSMo 1939, amended 1963, 1967, 1977, 1980, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1993,

Missouri Code of State Regulations › Title 20 - DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND INSURANCE › Division 4240 - Public Service Commission › Chapter 29 - Enhanced Record Exchange Rules › Section 20 CSR 4240-29.080 - Use of Terminating Record Creation for LEC-to-LEC Telecommunications Traffic

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes a system of
				  terminating record creation between carriers for Local Exchange
				  Carrier-to-Local Exchange Carrier (LEC-to-LEC) traffic.
(1) Terminating carriers may utilize
				information received from originating and/or transiting carriers to prepare
				category 11-01-XX records to generate accurate billing invoices for submission
				to originating carriers. All such billing invoices submitted by terminating
				carriers shall be generated and based upon category 11-01-XX records and such
				records shall be made available to the originating carrier upon request at no
				charge. Originating carriers are required to compensate terminating carriers on
				the basis of such accurate invoices.
(2) A terminating carrier may identify the
				originating carrier that it bills based on the originating operating company
				number (OCN) associated with the originating caller identification number.
				Certain type I wireless interconnections may utilize blocks of fewer than one
				thousand (1,000) numbers; in such instances, wireless-originated calls may be
				attributed to wireline carriers. In the event that the terminating carrier,
				using the OCN identified in the local exchange routing guide, erroneously bills
				a carrier other than the originating carrier, then the carrier whose OCN was
				identified shall notify the terminating carrier, and the parties shall work
				jointly to identify the originating carrier.
(3) Nothing in section (1) above shall
				preclude two (2) carriers from mutually agreeing to exchange other types of
				billing records.
*Original authority: 386.040, RSMo 1939 and
					 386.250, RSMo 1939, amended 1963, 1967, 1977, 1980, 1987, 1988, 1991, 1993,
					 1995, 1996.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This rule establishes minimum standards for
				  submission of billing records, invoices, and payments between carriers who
				  originate, transit, and/or terminate LEC-to-LEC traffic.
(1) All telecommunications companies
				responsible for creating and/or submitting Local Exchange Carrier-to-Local
				Exchange Carrier (LEC-to-LEC) network billing records shall submit such records
				in a timely manner on or about the same day each month. This requirement shall
				not preclude companies from mutually establishing individual record creation
				cycles for individual originating carriers.
(2) Upon receiving a correct invoice
				requesting payment for terminating traffic placed on the LEC-to-LEC network,
				the originating carrier shall submit payment of all amounts not disputed in
				good faith within thirty-one (31) days to the telecommunications company that
				submitted the invoice.
(3) All
				telecommunications companies subject to this chapter shall retain call detail
				records in a retrievable electronic format for not less than twelve (12) months
				following call completion. In the event any calls become the subject of an
				objection to payment invoice, or an audit, such records shall be retained for
				at least ninety (90) days after completion thereof.
