Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
The Public Service Commission has determined that it is
						in the public interest to permit liberal modification of service offerings
						within the limits authorized by a reseller's certificate of public convenience
						and necessity. It has also determined that it is in the public interest to
						permit rates for resale of telephone services to fluctuate freely between the
						maximum and minimum rates established in filed tariffs. Because good cause for
						flexibility in service offerings and rates has been shown for this industry,
						changes in the maximum and minimum rates, except major rate changes as defined
						by Public Service Law, section
						92(2), may become effective
						immediately upon compliance with the notice provisions of State Administrative
						Procedure Act, section 202. All companies increasing or decreasing a charge
						within the applicable maximum and minimum rates or making a service change
						shall notify affected customers and the commission of the new charge or service
						change no later than the date the charge is first applied or the date the
						service change is first implemented.

						any previous collection under the fuel adjustment clause.

Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Definitions. The following definitions
					 shall apply in connection with this section:
(1) Gas is natural gas distributed by a
					 public utility to its customers without change or after mixing with other gas,
					 and pipeline quality gas manufactured from liquified propane.
(2) Base cost of gas is the cost per Ccf, Mcf
					 or therm which is included in stated tariff rates and established as the basis
					 for computing the gas cost adjustment. Upon approval by the commission, the
					 base cost of gas can be eliminated from the base tariff rates.
(3) Fees are amounts paid to brokers, agents,
					 individuals or clearinghouses, which are directly associated with identifiable
					 gas supply purchases. To be included in the average cost of gas computation,
					 such fees are subject to the following conditions:
(i) such fees must provide a net reduction in
					 the delivered cost to the public utility on an avoided cost basis, i.e., the
					 combination of gas costs, delivery costs, and fee payments must be less than
					 the cost of the supply that would have been taken but for said
					 purchase;
(ii) the payment may not
					 be made to an affiliate of the public utility, nor may it be for gas ultimately
					 purchased from an affiliate;
(iii)
					 no costs attributable to public utility personnel, (e.g., wages or expenses)
					 may be included in such fee payment;
(iv) the fee payment must be related to a
					 specific gas volume and may not be of a general nature, such as an expense for
					 performing a survey or a start-up expense for a broker, agent, individual or
					 clearinghouse;
(v) lump sum fees
					 must be recovered over the estimated quantities of gas with which such fees are
					 associated;
(vi) the utility must
					 fully detail and justify all such costs in annual gas cost recovery
					 reconciliations and in rate case presentations as part of the review of gas
					 purchasing practices; and
(vii) in
					 conjunction with the first claim for recovery of each fee through a gas cost
					 adjustment, work papers supporting such filings must clearly set forth the new
					 fee and include a statement that the gas supply was not available to the public
					 utility without said payment.
(4) Risk management costs are costs
					 associated with transactions that are intended to reduce price volatility or
					 reduce overall costs to customers. These costs include transaction costs, and
					 gains and losses associated with transactions made in commodities exchanges and
					 with other risk management entities.

					 to cancel schedules of concurring corporations. Schedules issued under
					 concurrences shall not bear notation of cancellation of schedules of concurring
					 telephone corporations. Such cancellations must be made by the telephone
					 corporation which issued the schedule that is to be cancelled.

					 Whenever a change is proposed to any schedule, excluding addenda and
					 statements, filed with the commission, a notice to the public of such proposed
					 change shall be published once in each week for four successive weeks in a
