NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY:
				KRS
				278.040(3) provides that the
				commission may promulgate administrative regulations to implement the
				provisions of KRS Chapter 278.
				KRS
				278.180(1) provides that,
				except upon application of a utility for a lesser time, a change shall not be
				made in a rate except upon thirty (30) days' notice to the commission, stating
				plainly the changes proposed to be made and the time when the changed rates
				shall go into effect.
				KRS
				278.455(1) provides that a
				generation and transmission cooperative or a distribution cooperative may
				decrease regulated operating revenues if the decrease is allocated
				proportionately among customer classes so that a change will not result to the
				rate design currently in effect.
				KRS
				278.455(2) provides that a
				distribution cooperative may change its rates to reflect a change in the rate
				of its wholesale supplier if the effects of an increase or decrease are
				allocated to each class and within each tariff on a proportional basis that
				will result in no change in the rate design currently in effect.
				KRS
				278.455(4) requires the
				commission to promulgate administrative regulations establishing filing
				requirements and notice requirements to the commission, the Attorney General,
				and the public for rate changes made pursuant to
				KRS

				prescribes filing and notice requirements for a generation and transmission
				cooperative or a distribution cooperative to decrease rates and for a
				distribution cooperative to change rates to reflect a change in the rates of
				its wholesale supplier.
