Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
REVISED GUIDELINES FOR RESOLUTION OF ISSUES REGARDING
					 INCENTIVE1PROGRAMS
1. To obtain Commission approval of a
				  residential or commercial program involving incentives per Rule R1-38 [now Rule
				  R6-95 or R8-68], the sponsoring utility must demonstrate that the program is
				  cost effective for its ratepayers.
(a)
				  Maximum incentive payments to any party must be capable of being determined
				  from an examination of the applicable program.
(b) Existing approved programs are
				  grandfathered. However, utilities shall file a listing of existing approved
				  programs subject to these guidelines, including applicable tariff sheets, and
				  amount and type of incentives involved in each program or procedure for
				  calculating such incentives in each program, all within 60 days after approval
				  of these guidelines.
(c) Utilities
				  shall file a description of any new program or of a change in an existing
				  program, including applicable tariff sheets, and amount and type of incentives
				  involved in each program or procedure for calculating such incentives in each
				  program, all at least 30 days prior to changing or introducing the
				  program.
(d) The matter of the
				  relative efficiency of electricity versus natural gas under various scenarios
				  (space heating alone, space heating plus A/C, etc.) cannot now be resolved. A
				  better approach at this time would be to determine the acceptability of
				  incentive programs herein based on the energy efficiency of electricity alone
				  or of natural gas alone, as applicable.
(e) The criteria for determining whether or
				  not to approve an electric program pursuant to
				  G.S.
				  62-140(c) should not include
				  consideration of the impact of an electric program on the sales of natural gas,
				  or vice versa.
(f) Approval of a
				  program pursuant to Commission Rule R1-38 [now Rule R6-95 or R8-68] does not
				  constitute approval of rate recovery of the costs of the program. The
				  appropriateness of rate recovery shall be evaluated in general rate cases or
				  similar proceedings.

North Carolina Administrative Code › Title 04 - COMMERCE › Chapter 11 - UTILITIES COMMISSION › Chapter 9 › Section 11 R09-07 - PROCEDURES REGARDING REQUESTS FOR EXTENDED AREA SERVICE

Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) Purpose. This rule is intended to further
				the public interest through the establishment of a set of consistent general
				guidelines, standards, practices, and procedures for the filing, acceptance,
				and processing of requests for extended area service (EAS) in North
				Carolina.
(b) Definitions. For
				purposes of this rule, the following definitions shall apply:
(1) Extended Area Service. - EAS is a
				switching and trunking arrangement which provides for nonoptional, unlimited,
				two-way, flat rate calling service between two or more telephone exchanges,
				provided at either the applicable local exchange rate or the applicable local
				exchange rate plus an EAS increment rather than at the toll message
				rate.
(2) Incremental EAS Cost
				Study. - An incremental EAS cost study shall be deemed to include all
				additional incremental equipment costs applicable to the EAS arrangement plus
				those embedded costs supporting investments which have previously been used to
				provide toll services, but which will, upon approval of EAS, be utilized for
				EAS rather than toll service. Lost toll revenues will generally not be
				considered a proper cost to be included in an incremental EAS cost
				study.
(3) Community of Interest
				Factor (CIF). - Number of customer calls (messages) divided by the total number
				of local customer lines/trunks. For the purpose of Rule R9-7, customer calls
				shall consist of: 1-plus and operator-assisted MTS toll calls and optional toll
				calling plan calls generated over Key, PBX trunks, Centrex trunks, ESSX trunks,
				ISDN, simple business and residence customer lines/trunks.

				of access lines making calls divided by the total number of local customer
				lines/trunks.
