Argument. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22

    I. Standard of Review. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22

          A. Substantial-evidence Standard. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 22

          B. Arbitrary-and-capricious Standard . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23

    II.       The Commission has discretion to decide that expenses Entergy
              incurred making a long-shot argument for overturning a well-
              established Commission policy were unreasonable expenses for
              ratepayers to reimburse. (Responds to Entergy Issue 1). . . . . . . 24

          A. The Commission may allow the utility to recover only
             reasonable expenses. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24

          B. The Commission applied the law to the evidence and
             determined that it was unreasonable for Entergy to recover
             rate-case expenses incurred to argue that the Commission
             should abandon its two-bucket policy concerning incentive
             compensation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26

    III.      The lack of a Commission rule about rate-case expenses for
              incentive-compensation arguments did not relieve the
              Commission of its statutory duty to allow the utility to recover
              only reasonable rate-case expenses. (Responds to Entergy
              Issue 2) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33

          A. Entergy’s arguments that the Commission departed from
             earlier policy in this case are unavailing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33

          B. The Commission was merely applying the statutes to the
             evidence and argument in this case, not promulgating a new
             rule. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 34

          C. Entergy’s arguments that the Commission engaged in ad hoc
             rulemaking are unavailing. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35

                                                            v
      1. This case is distinguishable from Witcher . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 35

      2. Entergy improperly relies on the irrelevant thought
         processes of individual commissioners in the course of the
         case . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 36

      3. A rule was adopted when the Commission subsequently
         conducted formal rulemaking proceedings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 38

IV.   The Commission’s decision about the amount of rate-case
      expenses to exclude should be affirmed. (Responds to Entergy
      Issue 3) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39

   A. Entergy—the party with the burden to prove rate-case
      expenses—failed to provide the information needed to show
      exactly how much of its rate-case expenses were incurred to
      make the unreasonable long-shot argument. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 39

                         Statement of the Case

  Entergy challenges the district court’s judgment in an administrative

appeal that affirmed the Public Utility Commission’s order. The

Commission set the rate-case expenses that Entergy is entitled to recover

from ratepayers for reasonable expenses incurred in a prior rate case.

                Statement Regarding Oral Argument

  Oral argument would be helpful to allow the Court to ask any questions

it may have about the ratemaking or rate-case-expense cases.

                            Issues Presented

1. Did the Commission have discretion to decide that expenses Entergy
   incurred to make an argument in the rate case that it had almost no
   chance to win were unreasonable expenses for ratepayers to reimburse?

2. Does the Commission’s statutory duty “not to consider for ratemaking
   purposes … any other expenditure … the regulatory authority finds to be
   unreasonable, unnecessary, or not in the public interest” authorize it to
   exclude Entergy’s unreasonable expenses even though the Commission
   had no rule about Entergy making this particular argument?

3. The administrative record shows that, in addition to obtaining expert
   testimony to support the unreasonable argument, Entergy included the
   argument in its rate-filing package, responded to discovery about the
   argument, and filed briefs about the argument. Entergy knew what it
   paid expert witnesses but did not track work by its staff and outside
   attorneys on an issue-by-issue basis. Was the Commission reasonable to
   decide that some of Entergy’s expenses for staff and outside attorneys
   were for making the unreasonable argument? Was the Commission
   reasonable to estimate the amount of Entergy’s total unreasonable
   expenses using a method supported by testimony in the record?

                                     xii
4. Did the Commission reasonably find that Entergy failed to meet its
   burden to show that depreciation expenses for unspecified capital assets
   of its affiliated Service Company should be included in recoverable rate-
   case expenses?

                                    xiii
                                 Statement of Facts

     Entergy Texas, Inc. (Entergy) appeals an order of the Public Utility

Commission of Texas (Commission) setting the amount that the utility may

recover from ratepayers for expenses that Entergy incurred in connection

with its rate case, P.U.C. Docket 39896.

A.     The Commission decided Entergy’s rate case, Docket
       39896.

     Entergy initiated a rate case at the Commission. Entergy, an electric

utility that provides service to parts of southeast Texas, is situated outside

the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and remains a fully

integrated utility—it generates electricity, transmits and distributes

electricity, and sells electricity to retail customers in its service area. That

business remains fully regulated by the Commission, which sets the rates

Entergy can charge.2 So, in 2011 Entergy filed a rate case with the

       2
           As Entergy explained in its brief, it was initially included among utilities that
were to transition to competition, but is currently subject to regulation under Chapter
36 of the Utilities Code. See Tex. Util. Code §§ 39.451, .452(a). Thus, Entergy’s rates
remain regulated by the Commission. See Tex. Util. Code § 36.002.

                                              1
Commission, Docket 39896.3 Entergy asked to increase rates by over $100

million; the Commission’s order in Docket 39896 allowed the utility to

increase rates by approximately $27.7 million.4

   The basic statutory formula the Commission uses to set rates is

 (rate of return × invested capital) + reasonable and necessary expenses =

                               revenue requirement.5

The Commission then designs rates to give the utility a reasonable

opportunity to recover its revenue requirement.6 Although the utility’s

reasonable and necessary expenses included in rates are based on the

utility’s actual expenses over a twelve-month period called the “test year,”7

which is used as a predictor of expense that will occur in the future, one

significant expense does not occur every year—the expense of bringing a

rate case. So that amount is usually separately calculated and recovered

from ratepayers through amortization so that the utility will stop recovering

once rate-case expenses are fully recovered. Utilities Code Section

36.061(b)(2) specifically authorizes the Commission to allow a utility to

recover rate-case expenses.8

   Originally, Entergy’s request to recover rate-case expenses was part of

the Docket 39896 rate case but the Commission granted the parties’

request to sever it into a separate docket, P.U.C. Docket 40295, the

contested case on appeal in this lawsuit.9 The Commission did not

incorporate the entire record of Docket 39896 into the record of this case,

but, at the hearing on this case, the administrative law judge took official

notice of the Docket 39896 record.10

   One issue in the Docket 39896 rate case—whether incentive

compensation for financially based goals should be recovered through rates

as a reasonable and necessary expense—is relevant to the amount of rate-

case expenses awarded in this case. An amount for payroll costs is usually

included among the utility’s reasonable and necessary expenses. Although

some utilities had included incentive compensation for top executives

before, in AEP Texas Central Company’s rate case filed in 2003 (Docket

28840),11 for the first time, a utility asked to include incentive

compensation as part of the payroll costs for all its employees. Most of the

utility’s incentives in that case were paid according to two sets of

performance measures, financial and operational. In that case the

Commission found:

   169. The financial measures are of more immediate benefit to
        shareholders, and the operating measures are of more
        immediate benefit to ratepayers.

   170. Incentives to achieve operational measures are necessary and
        reasonable to provide T&D utility services, but those to achieve
        financial measures are not.12

Thus, the Commission held that AEP proved that incentive compensation

should be included in rates only for operational measures.13 In its brief to

this Court, Entergy refers to this as two buckets of incentive

compensation.14

   Evidently, using incentive compensation to pay all employees had

become fashionable, because the Commission was presented with similar

requests by other utilities in subsequent rate cases. The Commission

consistently maintained the distinction between operational-goal and

financial-goal buckets for incentive compensation. Incentive compensation

that belongs in the operational-goal bucket is recoverable, but incentive

compensation that belongs in the financial-goal bucket is not included as a

reasonable and necessary expense in rates because it is of more immediate

benefit to shareholders. Because different utilities can structure incentive

compensation differently, there is always a fact question about whether a

particular type incentive compensation goes in the operational-goal bucket

or the financial-goal bucket. But the basic policy that only incentive

compensation to meet operational goals can be included in rates remains.

   In Docket 39896, Entergy asked the Commission to abandon the

distinction between buckets and allow not only the incentive compensation

in the operational-goal bucket, but also any incentive compensation in the

financial-goal bucket. Entergy’s rate-filing package included testimony by

two different witnesses supporting that argument.15 The issue was hotly

contested; Entergy responded to discovery concerning that argument, and

All the other parties opposed eliminating the distinction between the two

buckets.17

   The Commission did not agree with Entergy’s argument to eliminate the

two buckets but did find that some of the types of incentive compensation

that other parties claimed were for financial goals really fit in the

operational-goal bucket. The Commission stated in Finding of Fact 129

that “[i]ncentive compensation that is based on financial measures is of

more immediate and predominant benefit to shareholders, whereas

incentive compensation based on operational measures is of more

immediate and predominant benefit to ratepayers.”18 In rate-case Docket

39896, the Commission did not allow Entergy to include $6,196,037 (as

well as the FICA taxes Entergy would have paid on the payroll) in rates

“because it was related to financial measures that are not reasonable and

necessary for the provision of electric service.”19 Entergy did not appeal the

Commission’s order in rate-case Docket 39896 on that issue.

B.     The Commission addressed the question of Entergy’s rate-
       case expenses in this case.

     After it was severed from the rate case, the Commission sent this rate-

case-expense proceeding to the State Office of Administrative Hearings. In

addition to Entergy and the Cities20 that were seeking to recover rate-case

expenses, parties included Commission Staff; the Office of Public Utility

Counsel, which, by statute, represents residential and small commercial

utility customers; Texas Industrial Energy Consumers; and State Agencies.

     1. The ALJ considered ratepayers’ arguments against some of
        Entergy’s requested rate-case expenses.

     Each of the ratepayer groups other than the Cities raised challenges to

some of the rate-case expenses requested by Entergy and the Cities.

Among those challenges, State Agencies claimed that Entergy was not

entitled to recover for the depreciation of assets recorded by its affiliate,

Entergy Services, Inc. (Service Company). OPUC claimed that Entergy

            Generally, cities that participate in rate cases at the Commission can require

should not recover the expenses it incurred in the rate case arguing that the

Commission should abandon the two-bucket approach to incentive

compensation.

      a. Depreciation expenses of Entergy’s affiliated company

   State Agencies argued that the Commission should deny Entergy’s

request to include depreciation of assets owned by Entergy’s affiliated

Service Company. Entergy contended that the costs at issue were “a loader

to [Entergy] labor costs covering depreciation on office expenses and

capital.”21 Entergy conceded that such costs would typically be embedded

in a vendor’s labor costs billed to the Company.22

   The ALJ recommended that Entergy not be allowed to recover the

depreciation expenses. He not only stated that Entergy had not cited to any

precedent which would justify the recovery of these apparently unusual

rate- case expenses, but also found that Entergy failed to prove the

reasonableness of the expenses under the more stringent standards that are

applicable to affiliate expenses.23

      b. Rate-case expenses to advocate for abandoning the two-
         bucket policy for including incentive compensation in
         rates.

   Commission Staff, State Agencies, and OPUC argued that Entergy

should not recover any rate-case expenses it incurred in attempting to

eliminate the distinction between operational-goal and financial-goal

buckets of incentive compensation. Commission Staff argued that by

challenging “overwhelming Commission precedent,” Entergy did not act

reasonably.24 Commission Staff contended that the Commission has such

an unequivocal history of denying recovery for financially based incentive-

compensation payments that “[Entergy] should have known that litigating

a position opposed to [it] was not a reasonable use of resources.”25 State

Agencies pointed out that Docket 39896 was merely the latest of three

recent cases in which Entergy sought, but failed to obtain, authority to

charge ratepayers for its financially based incentive costs (the others being

Dockets 34800 and 37744).26

   The ALJ, who had also been an ALJ in the Docket 39896 rate case,

agreed with Commission Staff, State Agencies, and OPUC. He noted that

                                      10
throughout the rate case, Entergy took an aggressive position and made a

long-shot argument seeking to eliminate the two-bucket approach to

including incentive compensation in rates.27

   The ALJ opined that Entergy’s citation to the cases over the years, where

other utilities requested recovery of financially based incentive

compensation, hurt Entergy’s cause more than it helped because all of the

requests were unanimously denied by the Commission. The ALJ thought

those cases disproved Entergy’s claim that the two-bucket approach was

undergoing continuing clarification.28

   The ALJ also found that Entergy overstated and distorted the facts when

it suggested that commissioners have expressed some concern with the

Commission precedent.29 The ALJ noted that the statements Entergy relied

upon all came from a single commissioner, not multiple commissioners.30

Moreover, the comments that Entergy put in evidence show that the

commissioner considered the Commission’s two-bucket precedent binding;

he thought that any change should be accomplished by rulemaking, not an

ad hoc change in a particular rate case.31

   The ALJ also found Entergy’s reliance on the recent order at the State

Office of Administrative Hearings in a rate case for SWEPCO to be

misplaced. In the SWEPCO case, the ALJs stated that the utility was not

legally precluded from seeking recovery for its financially based incentive

compensation. The ALJ in this case stated: “It is one thing to acknowledge

that a utility has a legal right to pursue a long-shot theory. It is another

thing entirely, however, to hold that the ratepayers must pay the costs of

the utility’s pursuit of that long-shot.”32

   In this case, the Commission did not decide that a utility could never

argue in a contested case that the Commission should change its policy.33

But the Commission did decide that when Entergy argued that the agency

should change such a well-established policy, the argument was such a long

shot—so unlikely to persuade—that it was unreasonable for ratepayers to

bear the expense.34

       c. Excessive rate-case expenses

   Several parties also claimed that Entergy’s rate-case expenses were

generally too high and that rate-case expenses were high in relationship to

the amount by which Entergy’s rates were raised. Ratepayers also

complained that Entergy had filed three rate cases in the last four years.

Ratepayers were then required to pay rate-case expenses that Entergy

incurred in each of those cases.35

   State Agencies expressed concern that, as a general matter, expenses

from rate cases before the Commission appear to be “getting out of hand.”36

Commission Staff “firmly agree[d]” with that concern.37 State Agencies

worried that utilities have no incentive to minimize the number of rate-case

proceedings or the efficiency of rate-case presentation because they assume

their costs will simply be passed on to ratepayers.38 State Agencies urged

       34
           AR, Order at FF 18f; AR, PFD at 24 (“Simply put, the ALJ concludes that
[Entergy] did not act reasonably when it incurred expenses litigating for recovery of its
financially-based incentive costs in the face of clear and consistent precedent to the
contrary on the issue.”)

the Commission to allocate rate-case expenses so that the utility was

incentivized to more productively and efficiently use its time in rate cases.39

OPUC agreed that the standard for evaluating the amount of rate-case

expenses to recover from ratepayers ought to give a utility pause before

deciding to pursue overly aggressive or novel arguments.40 Similarly,

Commission Staff and OPUC were concerned about the frequency of

Entergy rate cases over recent years. Docket 39896 was the third Entergy

rate case in four years. Each case resulted in a rate increase and an

obligation for the ratepayers to pay Entergy’s rate-case expenses.41

   Staff and OPUC also expressed concern about the overall size of the rate-

case expenses in this case in relation to the outcome of the underlying rate

case. Total rate case expenses ($8.8 million) equal roughly one-third of the

total approved rate increase in Docket 39896 ($27.7 million).42

Commission Staff, State Agencies, and OPUC all expressed the concern that

Entergy was unreasonable because it did not provide good stewardship in

incurring rate-case expenses.43

      d. Adjustments to rate-case expenses

   The ratepayer parties suggested three ways to adjust Entergy’s rate-

case-expense request to account for problems with Entergy’s request:

• The 50/50 approach. State Agencies’ primary recommendation was to

  charge ratepayers for only 50% of total rate case-expenses, arguing that

  shareholders, who reap benefits from a rate increase, ought to also share

  in the cost of obtaining that rate increase.44

• The Results-Obtained Approach. Alternatively, State Agencies argued

  that Entergy should recover only 26.4% of its rate-case expenses—the

  ratio between the increase in rates that the Commission authorized in

  Docket 39896 ($27.7 million) and the rate increase Entergy asked for in

  that case ($104.8 million). OPUC also advocated that approach.45

• The Issue-Specific Reduction Approach. Alternatively, OPUC and

  Commission Staff advocated reducing the amount Entergy requested in

  rate-case expenses by the ratio between the amounts Entergy sought in

  rates for unreasonable, overly aggressive issues and the total rate

  increase sought by Entergy. They wanted to include both financially

      44
           AR, Item 23 at 3.
      45
           AR, Item 22 at 11.

                                      15
   based incentive payments of $6.5 million, and transmission-equalization

   payments of $9 million as the numerator of the ratio.

   The ALJ agreed with the general concerns raised by Commission Staff,

State Agencies, and OPUC; he believed that a substantial cut to Entergy’s

rate-case expenses was warranted, but only considered the issue-specific

reduction appropriate.46

   The ALJ recognized that Section 36.061(b) of the Utilities Code gives the

Commission discretion. He also recognized a number of factors—such as

the time and labor required; the nature of the case; the size of the interest at

stake; and the benefits to the client—that have been deemed relevant to

determining the reasonableness of rate-case expenses. See City of El Paso v.

Pub. Util. Comm’n, 916 S.W.2d 515, 522 (Tex. App.—Austin 1995, writ

dism’d). The ALJ also noted that the parties agreed that Rule 1.04(b) of the

Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct provides factors that can

be considered when determining reasonableness of rate case expenses.47

   The ALJ rejected the 50/50 approach on the basis that it is contrary to

Commission precedent. He also rejected the results-obtained approach

although he did not find it contrary to Commission precedent. He

      46

      47
           AR, ETI Ex. 8 at 18-19.

                                       16
considered it a punitive and hindsight-driven approach to cost recovery,

rather than basing cost recovery on whether a utility acted reasonably at the

time it incurred such costs.48

   The ALJ found the issue-specific approach entirely consistent with

Commission precedent because the disallowance is a result of specific,

unreasonable actions by Entergy.49

   The ALJ found that Entergy bore the burden of proving its reasonable

expenses, and that burden necessarily requires that it separate out any

unreasonable expenses. Having failed to do so with respect to financially

based incentives and transmission equalization payments, he found that it

was reasonable for the Commission to use the issue-specific reduction

approach to calculate those expenses.50

   The ALJ proposed that most of the rate-case expenses requested by

Entergy—$7,344,113—be found reasonable and necessary and allowed as a

cost or expense by Entergy. That proposal reduced Entergy’s requested

amount of rate-case expenses for several small specific charges, for

$207,683 in depreciation of office equipment owned by Entergy’s affiliated

company, and for $1,275,738 attributable to “unreasonable and overly

aggressive arguments pursued by [Entergy] in Docket 39896 related to both

financially-based incentive compensation and transmission equalization

payments.”51 The ALJ also proposed a fact finding:

  17.        The amount of rate case expenses sought by ETI ($8.8 million)
             is high, both in absolute terms, and in relation to the rate
             increase ultimately obtained by ETI in Docket 39896 ($27.7
             million).52

  2. The Commission issued its Order in this case.

  The Commission considered the ALJ’s proposal for decision and

“adopt[ed] in part and revers[ed] in part.”53 The Commission adopted Fact

Finding 17 about Entergy’s rate-case expenses being excessive. And the

Commission agreed with the proposal to exclude the Service Company’s

depreciation expenses. But the Commission allowed Entergy to recover

expenses incurred for arguments related to transmission-equalization

payments, contrary to the ALJ’s proposal. The Commission did not allow

Entergy to recoup from ratepayers those expenses incurred to argue that

the Commission should abandon its two-bucket policy concerning incentive

compensation included in rates. The Commission stated: “Specifically, the

                                        18
Commission agrees with the ALJ that reductions should be made to

Entergy’s recoverable rate-case expenses for Entergy attempting to recover

financially-based incentive compensation in base rates.”54

   The Commission further stated that it “has repeatedly ruled that a utility

cannot recover the cost of financially-based incentive compensation because

financial measures are of more immediate benefit to shareholders and

financial measures are not necessary or reasonable to provide utility

services.”55 The Commission concluded “that it should follow its

well-established policy here.”56 The Commission cited four cases

concerning three different utilities from 2005 through 2011 where the

agency refused to allow recovery of incentive compensation based on

financial goals.57

   The Commission also adopted the ALJ’s the use of the issue-specific

reduction approach to determine how to calculate an appropriate reduction

in rate-case expenses because the utility took a long-shot position trying to

convince the Commission to abandon its well established two-bucket policy

about including incentive compensation in rates.58

C.      Entergy appealed.

     Entergy filed this suit for judicial review of the Commission’s order to

challenge the amount of rate-case expenses that the Commission ordered.

OPUC, TIEC, and State Agencies intervened in the case. After reviewing the

briefs of the parties and considering their arguments at the hearing on the

merits, the district court, the Honorable Amy Clark Meachum presiding,

affirmed the Commission’s order.59 Entergy appealed to this Court.

                            Summary of the Argument

     In this rate-case-expense proceeding, the Commission reasonably

decided that one of Entergy’s arguments in its related rate case was so

unlikely to prevail that any cost to make the argument was unreasonable.

Thus, the associated expenses were not included in rate-case expenses that

the utility could recover from ratepayers. This decision is reasonable

because the Utilities Code allows only reasonable rate-case expenses to be

recovered, includes a policy of protecting the interests of both the utility and

its customers, and prohibits the Commission from including unreasonable

        58
             Id.
        59
             C.R. 232-34.

                                        20
expenses in rates. Moreover, those statutes give the Commission enough

authority to find the expenses unreasonable without first adopting a rule.

And the fact that the Commission subsequently adopted a comprehensive

rule about rate-case expenses shows even more clearly that this contested-

case decision was not improper rulemaking.

   Entergy’s expenses to make the argument were not limited to the fees of

expert witnesses on the issue because the issue was included in the utility’s

rate-filing package, the utility responded to numerous discovery requests on

the issue, and the utility filed five briefs addressing the issue at the

Commission. All of that necessarily involved work by Entergy’s staff and

outside attorneys. But Entergy, the party with the burden to prove the

expenses, did not track its expenses for staff and outside attorneys on an

issue-by-issue basis. Thus, the Commission reasonably used a method

proposed by expert testimony in the case to estimate the amount of rate-

case expenses incurred to make the unreasonable long-shot argument.

   The Commission properly excluded depreciation expenses of Service

Company, an affiliate of Entergy, from rate-case expenses because Entergy

failed to show that they met the requirements in Utilities Code 36.058.

Entergy did not clearly explain what was being depreciated and why it was a

legitimate rate-case expense nor did Entergy show that the charges were not

                                        21
higher than the charges to other affiliates or third parties for the same type

of services.

                                       Argument

I. Standard of Review

   As in any lawsuit, the plaintiff has the burden of proof in a suit for

judicial review of an agency’s order in a contested case. For an

administrative appeal of the Commission’s order in a contested case, that

means that the plaintiff must show reversible error in the Commission’s

order; the substantial-evidence rule described in Section 2001.174 of the

Administrative Procedure Act controls.60 That rule is very deferential to the

agency, but the deference is described differently depending on the type of

error alleged. Complaints in this case invoke the substantial-evidence

standard, and the arbitrary-and-capricious standard.

   A.        Substantial-evidence Standard

   When reviewing an agency’s fact finding, a court uses the deferential

substantial-evidence standard. It prohibits a court from substituting its

judgment for the agency’s as to the weight of evidence.61 “A court that is

reviewing purely factual administrative findings … may determine only

        60
          See Anderson v. R.R. Comm’n, 963 S.W.2d 217, 219 (Tex. App.—Austin 1998,
pet. denied); Tex. Util. Code § 15.001; Tex. Gov’t Code § 2001.174.
        61
             Pub. Util. Comm’n v. Gulf States Utils. Co., 809 S.W.2d 201, 211 (Tex. 1991).

                                             22
whether substantial evidence supports those findings.”62 The true test is not

whether the agency reached the correct conclusion, but whether some

reasonable basis exists in the record for the agency’s action.63 “At its core,

the substantial evidence rule is a reasonableness test or a rational basis

test.”64

   B.        Arbitrary-and-capricious Standard

   The Texas Supreme Court has recognized the limits of the arbitrary-and-

capricious standard of review when applied to agency decisions: “The

arbitrary and capricious standard of review historically has been construed

narrowly, and we do not think that the legislature intended it to be

interpreted as a broad, all-encompassing standard for reviewing the

rationale of agency actions.”65 Courts must uphold a Commission decision

II.        The Commission has discretion to decide that expenses
           Entergy incurred making a long-shot argument for
           overturning a well-established Commission policy were
           unreasonable expenses for ratepayers to reimburse.
           (Responds to Entergy Issue 1)

      A.        The Commission may allow the utility to recover only
                reasonable expenses.

      The Commission performed its statutory duty to determine whether rate-

case expenses are reasonable, to balance interests of both the utility and its

ratepayers when determining reasonableness, and to allow the utility to

recover only reasonable rate-case expenses.

      The Utilities Code gives the Commission discretion when deciding how

much to award a utility in rate-case expenses. In a 2013 appeal of rate-case

expenses for Oncor Electric Delivery Co., LLC, this Court recognized that

“section 36.061(b)(2) gives the Commission the discretion to disallow

improper expenses.”67 And that statute only allows a utility to recover

reasonable rate-case expenses.68 The express purpose of the section of the

Public Utilities Code that applies to electric utilities is “to establish a

comprehensive and adequate regulatory system for electric utilities to

           67
          Oncor Elec. Delivery Co. LLC v. Pub. Util. Comm’n, 406 S.W.3d 253, 264
(Tex. App.—Austin 2013, no pet.).
           68
          Tex. Util. Code § 36.061(b)(2) (“The regulatory authority may allow as a cost
or expense … (2) reasonable costs of participating in a proceeding under this title not to
exceed the amount approved by the regulatory authority.” (emphasis added).).

                                           24
assure rates, operations, and services that are just and reasonable to the

consumers and to the electric utilities.”69 Thus, when regulating electric

utilities, the Commission must weigh the interests of both the utilities and

consumers. In addition, the Utilities Code prohibits the Commission from

considering for ratemaking purposes, “any other expenditure … the

regulatory authority finds to be unreasonable, unnecessary, or not in the

public interest.”70

   Thus, the Commission may not simply allow a utility to recover expenses

because the utility incurred them to bring a rate case. Instead, the

Commission must determine whether the expenses are reasonable, and the

Commission is prohibited from allowing the utility to recover expenses that

the Commission finds unreasonable. And in deciding what is reasonable,

the Commission must weigh the interests of both the utilities and its

ratepayers. That is exactly what the Commission reasonably did in this case.

            Tex. Util. Code § 36.062(4).

                                           25
  B.        The Commission applied the law to the evidence and
            determined that it was unreasonable for Entergy to
            recover rate-case expenses incurred to argue that the
            Commission should abandon its two-bucket policy
            concerning incentive compensation.

  Although Entergy incurred expenses to bring the Docket 39896 rate case

and claimed that they were all reasonable, various ratepayer groups

challenged some of those expenses. Commission Staff, State Agencies, and

OPUC all argued that Entergy was unreasonable to incur expenses to argue

in the rate case that the Commission should abandon its two-bucket

approach to incentive compensation.71 They argued that it was so unlikely

that Entergy could prevail on that argument that it was not reasonable for

Entergy to have expended time and expenses to make the argument.72 They

argued that was unreasonable for ratepayers to bear the cost of Entergy

making such a long-shot argument.

  The ALJ who heard this rate-case-expense case noted that he had also

heard the Entergy Docket 39896 rate case73 when he called Entergy’s rate-

case argument to abandon the two-bucket approach not only a long shot,

but also overly aggressive.74 He may have been considering both the fervor

argument. The record of Docket 39896 reveals

   Entergy included testimony of two witnesses arguing that the

   Commission should abandon the two-bucket approach, one an outside

   expert;75

   argument from TIEC (industrial ratepayers), Cities, Commission Staff,

• Entergy included briefing arguing that the Commission should abandon

  its two-bucket approach in five different briefs filed with the

  Commission.77

  The ALJ and the Commission justly used the term “long shot” to describe

Entergy’s argument that the Commission should abandon its two-bucket

approach to including incentive compensation in rates. Since AEP Texas

Central Company tried to recover incentive compensation for all its

employees in 2004, the Commission has steadfastly maintained a two-

bucket approach—allowing recovery of incentive compensation that fits

within the operational-goal bucket and disallowing recovery of incentive

compensation that fits within the financial-goal bucket.78 Moreover, the

attached to his testimony do not support Entergy’s position; they were 1)

only the statements of a single commissioner79 and 2) included a statement

that the two-bucket policy was so firmly in place that any change would

need to be done through a rulemaking proceeding.80 Entergy had no

reasonable basis to think it likely that the Commission would abandon the

two-bucket approach to incentive compensation in Docket 39896. Thus, it

was unreasonable for Entergy to have expended so much time and expense

on the argument and unreasonable to require ratepayers to bear the

expense.

  Entergy tries to make the Commission’s decision that Entergy’s

argument to abandon the two- bucket approach was such a long shot that

ratepayers should not bear the expenses appear less reasonable by

mischaracterizing the facts. But what Entergy did was to argue that the

well-established policy of dividing incentive compensation into two

buckets—one for operational goals and the other for financial goals—should

be abandoned.81 It did not merely argue whether its incentive-

compensation plans fit in the operational-goal bucket or the financial-goal

bucket.

   Although Entergy is correct that the question whether a particular form

of incentive compensation belongs in the operational-goal or financial-goal

bucket is a question of fact, that does not change the well-established policy

that there are two buckets: incentive compensation that belongs in the

operational-goal bucket may be recovered in rates and incentive

compensation that belongs in the financial-goal bucket may not. But in its

      81
          In its initial brief in the rate-case-expense proceeding at the Commission,
Entergy stated:

       The Company requests that it be allowed to recover its test year costs of
       incentive compensation. The Company recognizes that costs of incentive
       compensation tied to financial goals have been disallowed in several prior
       rate cases in Texas. The market prevalence of using financial goals as a
       part of incentive compensation programs has not been disputed. Rather,
       the Commission has previously denied recovery of such costs because of a
       lack of evidence showing sufficient customer benefits. In this case,
       however, the Company has assembled evidence not previously considered
       by the Commission that shows the benefits to customers of using financial
       measures in incentive compensation programs. The evidence includes the
       testimonies of Company witness Gardner, Vice President of HR Programs
       for the Entergy Companies, and Dr. Jay C. Hartzell, who is Chair of the
       Finance Department, Professor of Finance, and the Allied Bancshares
       Centennial Fellow at the McCombs School of Business at the University of
       Texas at Austin. The new evidence also includes empirical studies that
       support the Company’s position that customers benefit from incentive
       compensation programs that use financial measures and goals that
       encourage the financial health of the company.

                                           30
brief to this Court, Entergy, after arguing the factual question about which

bucket should hold a particular type of incentive compensation, pivots to the

statement: “The findings that Commission policy was cemented long ago,

and that it was unreasonable for ETI to seek recovery of financially-based

incentives, simply cannot withstand scrutiny.”82 Entergy is wrong. The

Commission can reasonably hold that its policy about two buckets for

incentive compensation is so well-established that it was unreasonable to

ask ratepayers to foot the bill for Entergy challenging the well established

policy even while the Commission entertains fact questions about which

bucket holds individual incentive compensation plans.

   This Court has recently acknowledged both the Commission’s long-

standing policy and the fact question that applies to individual types of

incentive compensation. In the Oncor rate case, this Court recognized both

“Commission precedent disallowing compensation payments that are tied to

financial-performance measures rather than those tied to strictly

operational measures”83 and that “the question of whether [a utility’s]

                                            31
incentive-compensation payments were ‘financial’ rather than ‘operational’

in nature is one of fact.”84

   But the Commission is not saying that a utility cannot recover its

expenses in connection with arguments about incentive compensation. Nor

did the Commission say that the rate-case expenses were unreasonable

merely because Entergy argued against agency precedent. It characterized

Entergy’s arguments as a long shot and overly aggressive. These are

important qualifiers. The two-bucket precedent for including incentive

compensation in rates was well established. Even Entergy in its first issue

in its brief says that the Commission has “historically stated a policy of

disallowing incentive compensation that is tied to “financial” as opposed to

“operational” measures … .”85 Thus, although Entergy does not use the

phrase “well established,” it accepts the premise. Entergy knew that the

Commission had a well-established policy of allowing incentive

compensation in rates only for operational goals, not for financial goals.

Nonetheless, Entergy argued that the two-bucket policy should be

abandoned. The utility should have known that was too much of a long shot

to have any reasonable likelihood of prevailing. The Commission

reasonably refused to make ratepayers pay the utility to make such a long-

shot argument.

III. The lack of a Commission rule about rate-case expenses for
     incentive-compensation arguments did not relieve the
     Commission of its statutory duty to allow the utility to
     recover only reasonable rate-case expenses. (Responds to
     Entergy Issue 2)

   Neither Entergy’s arguments that the Commission changed its policy

about rate-case expenses in this case nor its arguments that the Commission

could not decide this case without first adopting a rule stand up to scrutiny.

   A.    Entergy’s arguments that the Commission departed from
         earlier policy in this case are unavailing.

   Entergy’s argument that the Commission’s decision to deny the utility’s

expenses to make an unreasonable argument is a change in policy are based

on a mischaracterization of the Commission’s decision. Entergy’s

arguments rely on the Commission previously allowing utilities to argue

about which incentive-compensation expenses belong in the operational-

goal bucket. But that is not the long-shot argument that Entergy made.

Instead, Entergy argued that the Commission should abandon its two-

bucket policy. Entergy shows no examples of allowing rate-case expenses

for arguments to change the two-bucket policy since it became well-

established policy.

                                      33
   B.    The Commission was merely applying the statutes to the
         evidence and argument in this case, not promulgating a
         new rule.

   The Utilities Code by itself authorizes and requires the Commission to

exclude unreasonable expenses from the rate-case expenses a utility may

collect from ratepayers and put Entergy on notice that unreasonable

expenses could not be recovered.

   There was no need for the Commission to adopt a rule before deciding

this case. The Commission cannot avoid its duty to apply the statutes just

because it has not yet adopted a rule to cover every situation that may arise.

The Commission could not dodge the issue and neglect its statutory duty by

noting that it had no rule about how to treat rate-case expenses and

certainly no rule about the very particularized question of how to treat rate-

case expenses incurred to argue about including incentive compensation in

rates. The Commission had to decide the issue based on statutes, the

evidence, and the argument presented in this case.

   Applying the statutes to the evidence and arguments in this case, the

Commission recognized that a utility can make arguments in a rate case that

are so unlikely to prevail that it is unreasonable for ratepayers to bear the

burden of the expenses the utility incurred to make those arguments. This

                                       34
is not a new policy of general application; it is merely an outcome from the

statute.

   This Court upheld that same outcome in a 1997 water utility case. The

Court upheld denying any rate-case expenses to a utility that brought a rate

case that it wanted to lose. “[T]he Commission could have determined that

any expenses incurred in seeking a surcharge [the utility] did not want were

unreasonable, unnecessary or not in the public interest and that the utility’s

customers should never have to pay them.”86

   C.        Entergy’s arguments that the Commission engaged in ad
             hoc rulemaking are unavailing.

        1. This case is distinguishable from Witcher.

   Entergy’s reliance on Texas State Board of Pharmacy v. Witcher,87 is

misplaced because the actions of the Commission are entirely different from

the actions of the Texas State Board of Pharmacy. Unlike Witcher, the

Commission had no unstated policy for all cases that it applied to determine

whether Entergy should recover rate-case expenses. Instead, the

Commission had both a statute and a rule that prohibited including

        86
         Indust. Utils. Serv., Inc. v. Tex. Natural Res. Conservation Comm’n, 947
S.W.2d 712, 718 (Tex. App.—Austin 1997, writ denied).
        87
             447 S.W.3d 520 (Tex. App.—Austin 2014, pet. filed).

                                            35
unreasonable expenses in rates.88 Once the Commission decided that the

expenses Entergy incurred to make the argument were unreasonable, the

published rule and statute prohibited the Commission from including those

expenses in rates.

   The “rule” that the court found to be impermissible ad hoc rulemaking in

Witcher was an unpublished rule, was applied in contravention of the

agency’s published rule as applied to the facts, and was announced in the

order as a policy of general application; in this case, the only rule is a

published rule prohibiting recovery of unreasonable expenses, it was

applied in harmony with the fact findings, and the Commission did not

announce any new policy of general application.

      2. Entergy improperly relies on the irrelevant thought
         processes of individual commissioners in the course of
         the case.

   To support its argument that the Commission should have adopted a

rule, Entergy improperly cites the comment of one of the commissioners

during the Commission’s open meeting in this contested case.89 That

quoted language is not part of the administrative record in this case and

therefore not part of the record that the Court should consider. In an

administrative appeal, “[the] court shall conduct the review sitting without a

jury and is confined to the agency record … .”90 And this Court has

explained, “[t]he thought processes or motivations of an administrator are

irrelevant in the judicial determination whether the agency order is

reasonably sustained by appropriate findings and conclusions that have

support in the evidence.”91 The fact that the Commission’s final order does

not reach the same conclusion as the statement of Commissioner Nelson

that Entergy quoted, shows that through the process of deliberation, she

reached a different conclusion. That demonstrates the inappropriateness of

citing to thought processes of an administrator as evidence of what the

Commission actually decided.

   And just last week, this Court noted that a statement similar to

Commisisoner Nelson’s request for a rulemaking showed that the agency

was not adopting a rule in its order. In McHaney v. Texas Commission on

Environmental Quality, this Court stated: “The comment made by a TCEQ

commissioner at a hearing that ‘if there is need for clarity in our rules, I

would encourage our staff to look at that and see if we need to go through

the rule making or provide some other guidance” (emphasis in original)

strongly implies that rulemaking is not occurring at that hearing.92

      3. A rule was adopted when the Commission subsequently
         conducted formal rulemaking proceedings.

   Although the Commission did not adopt a rule in this case, the

Commission did adopt a rate-case-expense rule through the formal

rulemaking process in 2014.93 That further indicates that the Commission

was not adopting a rule in this case. The actual rulemaking, deciding a rule

of general application for all cases, was done in formal rulemaking. In this

case the Commission merely decided the issues required to determine what

Entergy should receive in rate-case expenses. The Commission utilized both

formal rulemaking and its authority to decide matters that arise in a single

contested case in the proper context.

   Entergy’s curious argument—that because it argues that the exceptions to

ad hoc rulemaking do not apply in this case, the Commission adopted a

rule—is illogical. The logical question is whether the Commission actually

adopted a rule in this contested case. It did not; it adopted a rule in a formal

rulemaking. Here the Commission decided only the questions necessary to

resolve this contested case.

IV.     The Commission’s decision about the amount of rate-case
        expenses to exclude should be affirmed. (Responds to
        Entergy Issue 3)

   A.     Entergy—the party with the burden to prove rate-case
          expenses—failed to provide the information needed to
          show exactly how much of its rate-case expenses were
          incurred to make the unreasonable long-shot argument.

   Because Entergy did not track its expenses on an issue-by-issue basis, the

Commission used a proxy to identify the unreasonable expenses Entergy

incurred to make its overly aggressive, long-shot argument that the

Commission should abandon the two-bucket approach to incentive

compensation. Entergy complains that the Commission did not use its

actual expenses, but, because Entergy did not keep track of its expenses on

an issue-by-issue basis, Entergy fails to identify the actual expenses Entergy

incurred in staff and outside counsel expenses to make the unreasonable

argument. Therefore, based on the evidence in the case, the Commission

used a proxy to determine the amount of issue-specific rate-case expenses

that were attributable to the argument. The Commission applied a ratio to

the total amount of rate-case expenses Entergy requested. The ratio

compared disallowed financial-goal bucket incentive-compensation

expenses Entergy requested but did not receive to the total increase in rates

                                      39
that Entergy sought in the Docket 39896 rate case. That resulted in a

$522,244.66 decrease in requested rate-case expenses. The Commission

described that amount as “the amount of rate-case expenses related to

financially-based incentive compensation using the issue-specific reduction

approach.”94

   Once the Commission decided that Entergy’s financially based incentive-

compensation arguments were unreasonable and overly aggressive, it

needed to decide how much of the rate-case expenses were attributable to

that argument. The expenses to employ outside expert witnesses in Docket

39896 to support the unreasonable argument could be identified, but the

Commission found that those were not the only expenses. Entergy’s rate-

case expenses included the cost of its staff, the staff of its affiliate Service

Company, and its outside counsel. They decided to make the unreasonable

argument, hired the experts, and included the arguments in the rate-filing

package that initiated the rate case. In addition, they had to respond to

discovery on the issue.95 Finally, Entergy briefed the issue at the State

   But when Entergy was asked to calculate the amount of rate-case

expenses devoted to any particular issue, the utility’s witnesses repeatedly

testified that Entergy did not keep track of rate-case expenses on an issue-

by-issue basis. At the hearing, Entergy witness Considine testified:

“Employees charge their time and expenses to a rate case project code that’s

set up specifically for Docket 39896.” In response to the question, “But not

issue specific?” Considine replied, “No, ma’am.”97 Again, Considine

testified, “The Company tracks time on a project level basis, and the entire

project related to the rate case as a whole.”98 In response to a question

about separating rate-case expenses concerning another issue in the rate

case, Considine indicated that he would not estimate how much time was

devoted to a particular issue because it would be a guess.99

   In response to a request for information about the rate-case expenses

related to a different issue in the rate case, Entergy responded: “Costs

related to the preparation and presentation of testimony are not accounted

for in the manner requested. Costs are accumulated on a project level basis

and related to the rate case as a whole.”100

  B.         Substantial evidence supports the Commission’s decision
             about the amount of rate-case expenses attributable to
             the unreasonable argument in the rate case.

  Lacking any evidence from Entergy—the party with the burden to prove

that its rate-case expenses were reasonable—that identified the exact

amount of rate-case expenses that Entergy incurred to argue for abandoning

the two-bucket policy, the Commission had to find a way to measure the

rate-case expenses associated with that argument. The Commission looked

to evidence in the administrative record and applied a method supported by

OPUC witness Benedict. He proposed using a percentage; he compared the

amount of disallowed financial-goal bucket incentive compensation that

Entergy sought in the rate case to the total amount by which Entergy wanted

to increase rates in Docket 38986. That ratio was applied to the total

amount of rate-case expenses Entergy requested to find the percentage of

rate-case expenses attributable to Entergy’s unreasonable long-shot

arguments.101 The ALJ and the Commission used this method to determine

how much of Entergy’s rate-case expenses were for the unreasonable and

overly aggressive rate-case expenses.

       101
             AR, OPUC Ex. 1 at 10.

                                        43
  Thus, the way the Commission determined the amount of requested rate-

case expenses attributable to the unreasonable and overly aggressive

argument is supported by substantial evidence in the record.

  C.         The Commission’s decision is reasonable—neither
             arbitrary and capricious nor an abuse of discretion.

  Entergy unsuccessfully argues that the Commission’s computation of

unreasonable rate-case expenses is different from the Commission’s usual

practice. But the Commission followed its practice of excluding only that

portion of the expenses that were unreasonable and its method to determine

that amount is similar to that used in an earlier Commission decision, its

2004, Docket 28840 Order.102

  Contrary to Entergy’s claims, the Commission’s actions were consistent

with other rate-case-expense cases: The Commission denied the utility’s

rate-case-expense request to the extent it concerned a single, unreasonable

expense—the expense associated with the argument that the Commission

should abandon the two-bucket approach to determining incentive

compensation included in rates. The Commission refused to generally cut

rate-case expenses in half, based on the assumption that half of the costs

benefitted the shareholders or to cut rate-case expenses based on the

       102
          Docket 28840 (July 2, 2004) (Proposal for Decision) at 125 available at

                                       44
utility’s success in raising rates.103 The Commission’s issue-specific

approach is consistent with only denying unreasonable rate-case expenses.

   Moreover, the Commission’s decision in this case is remarkably similar

to the way it decided how much of the cities’ requested rate-case expenses

should not be allowed in the earlier case. Although the Commission did not

use the term “proxy” in Docket 28840, the Commission went through an

analysis similar to the one here to determine how much of the rate-case

expenses were reasonable and should be recovered. In Docket 28840, the

Commission decided that a survey that the cities’ expert used was “seriously

flawed and that conclusions drawn from the data cannot reasonably be

supported under current legal standards”104 Without any analysis of the

amount the expert spent on each part of her study or testimony, the ALJs in

that case stated: “Although Dr. Goodfriend’s survey and the portion of her

testimony upon which it is based may be flawed, that criticism does not fit

the remainder of her testimony. Therefore, the ALJs recommend a

disallowance of one-half of Dr. Goodfriend’s expenses … .”105 The

Commission adopted that decision in its final order.106 Obviously, the

Commission went to less effort in that case than here to identify the amount

of expense to allocate to a single part of rate-case expenses.

   And the Commission did not in this case mandate that every utility keep

track of its rate-case expenses on an issue-by-issue basis. It noted that

Entergy could not complain that exact rate-case expenses attributable to the

unreasonable argument were not used because Entergy, the party with the

burden to prove all the reasonable rate-case expenses it seeks to recover

from ratepayers, did not account for its expenses in a way that would allow

the Commission to determine the exact amount.107 But the computation the

Commission makes—using an issue-specific method to determine those

costs that is based on evidence in the record—was reasonable.

   Finally, the Commission did not adopt a rule: it made no general

statement in this case that all utilities must keep track of their rate-case

          The PFD that the Commission adopted states:
      Staff counters (and the ALJ agrees)that [Entergy] bore the burden of
      proving its reasonable expenses, and that burden necessarily requires that
      it separate out any unreasonable expenses. Having failed to do so with
      respect to financially-based incentives …, it is reasonable for the
      Commission to use the Issue-Specific Reduction Approach as a proxy for
      calculating those expenses.

                                          46
expenses on an issue-by-issue basis. The Commission did address that

question when it formally adopted a new rule.108 Thus, the Commission

properly decided only the case before it and properly went through formal

rulemaking to adopt a rule.

     Because the Commission was not making any new policy decision of

general application, it did not adopt a rule in its order in this case. It was

simply using the evidence presented to determine facts in this case.

V.        Entergy failed to meet its burden under Utilities Code
          § 36.058 to prove depreciation charged by its affiliate for
          rate-case expenses was reasonable and necessary and no
          higher than the costs charged to other affiliates. (Responds
          to Entergy Issue 4)

     A.         The Utilities Code imposes additional requirements to
                show that amounts paid to affiliates are reasonable
                expenses.

     Expenses paid to a utility’s affiliate are subject to increased scrutiny to

ensure that no expenses are included that would not be similarly recovered

in an arms-length transaction. Entergy failed to meet the heightened

standard imposed under Utilities Code § 36.058 when it sought

          108
                16 Tex. Admin. Code § 25.245(b)(6).

                                               47
depreciation of the assets of the Service Company.109 For each item or class

of items, Entergy had the burden to prove that the expenses were

reasonable and necessary, and that the price was not higher than the prices

charged by the supplying affiliate to its other affiliates, or to a nonaffiliated

person within the same market area or under the same market conditions.110

The Commission must presume that affiliate expenses should not be

included in rates unless these conditions are met.111 Thus, Entergy had to

overcome the presumption against affiliate expenses to recover depreciation

expenses for Service Company in rate-case expenses. It failed to do so.

   B.         Entergy’s evidence is insufficient to meet its burden of
              proof.

   Regarding depreciation of Service Company’s assets, the Court should

uphold the Commission’s factual determination that Entergy failed to

provide evidence sufficient to meet the level of scrutiny that applies to

S.W.3d 547, 564 (Tex. App.—Austin 2000, pet. denied) (“Because of the possibility for
self-dealing between affiliated companies, however, expenses paid to an affiliated entity
are presumptively not included in the rate base. A utility can overcome this
presumption against affiliate expenses only if it demonstrates that its payments are
‘reasonable and necessary for each item or class of items as determined by the
commission.’”).

expenses paid to affiliates, and Entergy’s reliance on the rate case for

support is misplaced.

      1. Entergy failed to explain what depreciation expenses of
         Service Company were included.

   The quality and character of proof of depreciation expenses that Entergy

provided is not the same in both the rate case and the rate-case-expense

docket. The Commission has explained that “independent evidence must be

provided in order to meet the statutory requirement to develop findings of

fact based on an item or class of items basis.”112 Entergy did not provide

sufficient independent evidence to include Service Company’s depreciation

as part of the utility’s rate-case expenses. Entergy failed to include studies,

comparison to affiliates, comparison to alternative providers, and evidence

of costs to Service Company on a stand-alone basis.113 Utility Code § 36.058

requires strict compliance, and Entergy did not meet the statutory standard.

The Commission found: “$207,683 in depreciation of office equipment

owned by [Service Company] (an affiliated company of [Entergy]) and used

      112

by [Service Company] employees for their work in Docket 39896 is not

reasonable and is properly disallowed.”114

   In this case, Entergy’s witness Considine testified in response to State

Agencies’ challenge to $207,683 in depreciation expense for Entergy’s

affiliate as rate-case expenses.115 State Agencies claimed that the utility

failed to support the amounts with detail. In response, Mr. Considine

attached detail that was supposed to respond to State Agencies’ concern.116

That detail lists many items for depreciation, but the plethora of data still

fails to explain what is being depreciated. Although the spreadsheets

include project code, year, month, resource code, resource description,

monthly amount, and journal ID number, all that data fails to explain why

those depreciation amounts are relevant to Entergy’s participation in the

rate case. The resource code is a number without any key, and the resource

description simply states “Depreciation & Amort Expenses.”117 There is no

way to know whether Entergy’s affiliate is depreciating only property used

to do work necessary for Entergy’s rate case or whether it is depreciating

every asset it owns.

                                            50
   Entergy attempts to support the expenses by relying on Stephanie

Tumminello’s testimony in Docket No. 39896 where she stated that the

depreciable assets “consist primarily of computer equipment, computer

software systems, communications equipment, furniture, fixtures, leasehold

improvements, and aircraft.”118 Entergy’s reliance on this testimony fails

because it refers to expenses during the test year rather than rate-case

expenses, many of which occurred after the test year, during the rate case.119

The rate-case expenses are subject to entirely different project codes and

billing methods.120 And it is not clear that the same assets are being

depreciated in the rate-case expense proceedings as were depreciated in the

test year. For example, Ms. Tumminello testified that test-year expenses

were adjusted to remove depreciation of aircraft,121 but whether it was also

removed from rate-case expenses is a mystery. This borrowed testimony

from the rate case fails to meet the standard requiring independent

evidence to support the item or class of items.122

      2. Entergy failed to provide evidence that including Service
         Company’s depreciation expense made the expenses
         comparable.

   Further, Entergy failed to provide evidence required by the statute:

Entergy did not demonstrate that the depreciation price Service Company

charged Entergy is no higher than the prices charged to other affiliates.123

For the test-year expenses, Ms. Tumminello’s testimony regarding

depreciation was supported with numerous reports, benchmarks, and

comparisons.124 But there is no such support for the rate-case-expense

depreciation. Although Mr. Considine testified that Service Company

charges Entergy its actual costs, this is insufficient without supporting

evidence showing that the prices charged to Entergy were not higher than

those charged to its other affiliates.125 There is no information that enables

the Commission to independently evaluate the costs that Service Company

charged to Entergy compared to its other affiliates. Entergy failed to meet

its burden.

   The only evidentiary support Entergy offered to prove that depreciation

should be included in its rate-case expenses is a meaningless spreadsheet

and a Service Company employee’s conclusory statement that the

depreciation expense is reasonable and necessary. The Commission

reasonably decided that the evidence failed to meet the heightened standard

for allowing affiliate expenses under Utilities Code § 36.058. The

Commission properly excluded Service Company’s depreciation from rate-

case expenses, and the Commission’s order should be affirmed.

                                                     ORDER

       This Order addresses the rate-case expenses pertaining to Docket No. 39896,1 Entergy
Texas, Inc.'s last rate case. Entergy requested $8.8 million in rate-case expenses associated with
Docket No. 39896-$7.6 million for Entergy's own rate-case expenses and $1.2 million for
Cities' rate-case expenses. The proposal for decision in this docket was issued on February 19,
2013. In the proposal for decision, the ALJ recommended allowing Cities' rate-case expenses
incurred through August 31, 2012, plus up to $75,800 in rate-case expenses as they are incurred
after August 31, 2012. The ALJ also recommended that Entergy's rate-case expenses be reduced
to account for Entergy taking certain positions in the rate case regarding financially-based
incentive compensation and transmission equalization expenses.             The Commission considered
the proposal for decision at the April 11 and April 25, 2013 open meetings. The Commission
adopts in part and reverses in part the proposal for decision, including findings of fact and

conclusions of law.

                                    1.      Estimated Rate-Case Expenses
        The Commission reverses the proposal for decision regarding Cities' $75,800 in
estimated rate-case expenses to be incurred after August 31, 2012.2 In Docket No. 37772, the
Commission found that approving estimated rate-case expenses for two different parties

representing Cities is not in the public interest and disallowed their recovery in the rate-case
expense surcharge, but did not prohibit the Cities from seeking recovery of actual rate-case

expenses in the utility's next rate case.3         The Commission affirms that holding here: Cities
cannot recover for estimated rate-case expenses in this docket, but may seek recovery in
Entergy's next rate case. To reflect its determination on this issue, the Commission adds new
finding of fact 16A, modifies conclusion of law 7, and adds new conclusion of law 10.

                                        II.    Proportional Reduction
         The Commission affirms the proposal for decision regarding the need to reduce Entergy's
recoverable expenses due to an unreasonable position pursued by Entergy in the rate case4 and
also affirms the use of the "issue-specific reduction approach" to determine how to calculate an
appropriate reduction in rate-case expenses when the utility takes positions that are in conflict
with Commission precedent.5

         Specifically, the Commission agrees with the AU that reductions should be made to
Entergy's recoverable rate-case expenses for Entergy attempting to recover financially-based
incentive compensation in base rates. The Commission has repeatedly ruled that a utility cannot
recover the cost of financially-based incentive compensation because financial measures are of
more immediate benefit to shareholders and financial measures are not necessary or reasonable
to provide utility services.6 The Commission concludes that it should follow its well-established
policy here.

         However, the AU did not include all of the impacts attendant to the disallowance for
incentive compensation.7 To calculate the amount of the reduction in rate-case expenses related
to financially-based incentive compensation, the Commission starts with Entergy's initial rate-

case expense request, reduced by $208,494 in disallowances made by the ALJ' and affirmed by
the Commission. The Commission further reduces this amount by an additional $522,244.66,

which is the amount of rate-case expenses related to financially-based incentive compensation
using the issue-specific reduction approach.

        The Commission disagrees with the AU that Entergy's rate-case expenses should be

reduced due to Entergy's request for transmission equalization (MSS-2 expenses).`' Even though
Entergy did not meet the burden of proof that the requested expenses were known and
measureable changes to test-year expenses, the request for the MSS-2 expenses did not conflict
with clear Commission precedent.

        Accounting for these reductions, the Commission finds that rate-case expenses for ETI in
the amount of $6,896,037.73 are reasonable and necessary. Consequently, the Commission is
approving a total amount of $8,021,806.34 in allowable rate-case expenses in this docket.

        To reflect its determinations on the proportional reduction issue, the Commission
modifies finding of fact 18 and conclusion of law 9.

                                           1[I.   Affiliate Payments
        The Commission also finds that the price for Entergy's affiliate payments is not higher
than the prices charged by the supplying affiliate for the same item or class of items to its other
affiliates or divisions or a nonaffiliated person within the same market area or having the same
market conditions. The Commission adds new finding of fact 19 and new conclusion of law 11
to reflect that Entergy met the requirements in PURA § 36.058 regarding payments to its
affiliates for its rate-case expenses.

        The Commission also makes minor corrections to conclusions of law 6 and 8 to
incorporate the statutory reference into the language of the conclusion of law. Consistent with
the discussion above, the Commission adopts the following findings of fact and conclusions of
law:

SOAII Docket No. XXX-XX-XXXX

                                      IV.      Findings of Fact
I.     Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI or the Company) is an investor-owned electric utility with a
       retail service area located in southeastern "I'exas.

2.     On November 28, 2011, ETI filed an application (the ETI Application) requesting,
       among other things, approval of a proposed increase in annual base rate revenues of
       approximately $111.8 million over adjusted test year revenues, and a new rider for
       recovery of costs related to purchased power capacity.

3.     On November 29, 2011, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission or PUC)
       referred the ETI Application to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) for a
       hearing and the matter was assigned docket number 39896 (Docket 39896).

4.     On April 4, 2012, in Docket 39896, the ALJs issued SOAH Order No. 13 severing rate-
       case expense issues into a new docket, the case at issue here, Application of Entergy
       Texas, Inc. for Rate Case Expenses Severed from PUC Docket No. 39896, Docket
       No. 40295.

5.     The hearing on the merits in Docket 39896 was held in April-May 2012.

6.     The Proposal for Decision (PFD) in Docket 39896 was issued July 6, 2012.

7.     The Commission issued its final order in Docket 39896 on November 2, 2012.

8.     The hearing on the merits in the present docket, Docket 40295, was held on
       November 28, 2012. The record closed on December 21, 2012, following the filing of
       post-hearing briefs.

9.     The following parties were granted intervenor status in this docket:    Office of Public
       Utility Counsel (OPUC); the cities of Anahuac, Beaumont, Bridge City, Cleveland,
       Conroe, Dayton, Groves, Houston, Huntsville, Montgomery, Navasota, Nederland, Oak
       Ridge North, Orange, Pine Forest, Rose City, Pinehurst, Port Arthur, Port Neches,
       Shenandoah, Silsbee, Sour Lake, Splendora, Vidor, and West Orange (Cities); State
       Agencies; and Texas Industrial Energy Consumers (TIEC). The staff (Staff) of the
       Commission was also a participant in this docket.
PUC Docket No. 40295                            Order                                    Page 5 of'8
SOAH Docket No. XXX-XX-XXXX

10.    In Docket 39896, ETI adjusted its request for a proposed increase in annual base rate

       revenues to approximately $104.8 million over adjusted Test Year revenues.

11.    In the PFD in Docket 39896, the ALJs recommended an overall rate increase of
       $28.3 million.

12.    In   its    final   order in   Docket 39896, the Commission largely followed the
       recommendations contained in the PFD, but reduced ETI's overall rate increase to $27.7
       million.

13.    In this docket, ETI seeks to recover $8.8 million in rate-case expenses associated with
       Docket 39896.

14.    Of that total, $7.6 million was incurred by ETI and $1.2 million was incurred by Cities.

15.    Cities proved that, through August 31, 2012, they reasonably incurred rate-case expenses
       of $1,125,768.61 in Docket 39896 and this docket.

16.    Cities reasonably estimated that their total rate-case expenses in Docket 39896 and this
       docket after August 31, 2012 will total $75,800.

16A.   The Commission finds that Cities' estimated expenses are not recoverable as rate-case
       expenses in this docket.

17.    The amount of rate-case expenses sought by ETI ($8.8 million) is high, both in absolute
       terms, and in relation to the rate increase ultimately obtained by ETI in Docket 39896
       ($27.7 million).

18.    Rate-case expenses for ETI in the amount of $6,896,037.73 are reasonable and necessary
       and should be allowed as a cost or expense by the Company. This amount is calculated
       by reducing the requested amount by the amounts listed and for the reasons stated below:

       a.         $207,683 in depreciation of office equipment owned by Entergy Services, Inc.
                  (ESI) (an affiliated company of ETI) and used by ESI employees for their work in
                  Docket 39896 is not reasonable and is properly disallowed.
       b.         $281 for meals over $25 was erroneously sought by ETI, is not reasonable, and is
                  properly disallowed.

SOAN Docket No. XXX-XX-XXXX

       c.      $10 for clothing purchased by an attorney for ETl is not reasonable and is
              properly disallowed.
       d.     $40 for laundry charges by an attorney for ETI is not reasonable and is properly
              disallowed.
       e.     $480 for a lodging charge unsupported by receipts is not reasonable and is
              properly disallowed.
       f.     $522,244.66 attributable to unreasonable and overly aggressive arguments
              pursued by ETI in Docket 39896 related to tinancially-based incentive
              compensation is properly disallowed.
19.    The price for Entergy's affiliate payments is not higher than the prices charged by the
       supplying affiliate for the same item or class of items to its other affiliates or divisions or
       a nonaffiliated person within the same market area or having the same market conditions.

                                      V. Conclusions of Law
1      ETI is a "public utility" as that term is defined in the Public Utility Regulatory Act
       (PURA) § 11.004(1) and an "electric utility" as that term is defined in PURA
       § 31.002(6).

2.     The Commission exercises regulatory authority over ETI and jurisdiction over the subject
       matter of this application pursuant to PURA §§ 32.001, 32.101, 33.002, 33.051, and
       36.101-111.

3.     SOAH has jurisdiction over matters related to the conduct of the hearing and the
       preparation of a proposal for decision in this docket, pursuant to PURA § 14.053 and
       Tex. Gov't Code § 2003.049.

4.     This docket was processed in accordance with the requirements of PURA and the Texas
       Administrative Procedure Act, Tex. Gov't Code Chapter 2001.

5.     Pursuant to PURA § 33.051, the Commission has jurisdiction over an appeal from a
       municipality's rate proceeding.

6.     Pursuant to PURA § 33.023, Cities bore the burden to prove that the rate-case expenses
       they incurred were reasonable.

7.     Cities are entitled to reimbursement by ETI for rate-case expenses of $1,125,768.61
       incurred in Docket 39896 and this docket through August 31, 2012.

8.     Pursuant to PURA § 36.061(b), ETI bore the burden of proving that the rate-case
       expenses it incurred in Docket No. 39896 were reasonable.

9.     ET I proved the reasonableness of its rate-case expenses in the amount of $6,896,037.73,
       and is entitled to claim that amount as a cost.

10.    Consistent with Commission precedent, it is not in the public interest to permit recovery
       of estimated rate-case expenses.

11.    Entergy met the requirements of PURA § 36.058 regarding payments to its affiliate for its
       rate-case expenses.

                                     VI. Ordering Paragraphs
       In accordance with these findings of fact and conclusions of law, the Commission issues

l.     The Proposal for Decision prepared by the SOAH ALJs is adopted to the extent
       consistent with this Order.

2.     All other motions, requests for entry of specific findings of fact and conclusions of law,
       and any other requests for general or specific relief, if not expressly granted, are denied.

3.     Cities' and ETI's requests to recover rate-case expenses are granted to the extent
       consistent with this Order.

                                            1.   BACKGROUND

         Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI) is an investor-owned electric utility with a retail service area
located in southeastern Texas. ETI serves retail and wholesale electric customers in Texas. On
November 28, 2011, ETI filed an application requesting approval of an increase in annual base rate
revenues, a reconciliation of fuel costs, and authority to defer costs for the transition to the Midwest
Independent System Operator (the ETI Application). On November 29, 2011, the Commission
referred the ETI Application, PUC Docket No. 39896, to SOAH (Docket 39896). On April 4, 2012,
the Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) presiding over pocket 39896 issued an order severing from
Docket 39896 the issues relating to ETI's request to recover its rate case expenses and creating this
docket, Docket 40295, for consideration of the rate case expenses.

         In this Proposal for Decision (PFD), the ALJ recommends as follows:

         That Cities' be allowed to recover from ETI a total of $1,201,569 in rate case expenses
         (representing $1,125,769 in rate case expenses incurred through August 31, 2012, plus up to
         $75,800 in rate case expenses as they are incurred after August 31, 2012); and

    •    That ETI be allowed to recover a total of $7,344,113 in rate case expenses.

` The Cities are: the Cities of Anahuac, Beaumont, Bridge City, Cleveland, Conroe, Dayton, Groves, Houston,
Huntsville, Montgomery, Navasota, Nederland, Oak Ridge North, Orange, Pine Forest, Rose City, Pinehurst, Port Arthur,
Port Neches, Shenandoah, Silsbee, Sour Lake, Splendora, Vidor, and West Orange.

              II.   JURISDICTION, NOTICE, AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

         The Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission or PUC) has jurisdiction over ETI and
this rate case expenses hearing pursuant to Texas Utility Code, Public Utility Regulatory Act
(PURA) §§ 32.001, 33.002, and 35.004. The State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) has
jurisdiction over the contested case hearing, including the preparation of the proposal for decision
(PFD) pursuant to PURA § 14.053 and Texas Government Code § 2003.049(b). ETI's notice of its
application and notice of the hearing were not contested and, therefore, do not require further
discussion here but will be addressed in the proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law.

         The hearing on the merits in Docket 39896 was held in April-May, 2012. The PFD was
issued on July 6, 2012. A Final Order in Docket 39896 was issued by the Commission on September
14, 2012. In response to motions for rehearing submitted by multiple parties, the Commission issued
an Order on Rehearing on November 2, 2012, in Docket 39896.2

         The hearing on the merits in the present docket, Docket 40295, was held on
November 28, 2012. The record remained open for the filing of post-hearing briefs. The record
closed on December 21, 2012.

                                           III.    PARTIES

         In addition to ETI, the following entities were granted party status in this case: Texas
Industrial Energy Consumers (TIEC); State of Texas agencies and institutions of higher education
(State Agencies); Office of Public Utility Counsel (OPUC); Cities; and the staff of the Public Utility
Commission (Staff).

2 Multiple second motions for rehearing were denied by the Commission on December 4, 2012.

                                        IV.     DISCUSSION

A.      Overview

        In the ETI Application, ETI requested, among other things, approval of an increase in annual
revenues of approximately $104.8 million, proposed tariff schedules including new riders to recover
costs related to purchased-power capacity and renewable-energy credit requirements, and final
reconciliation of its fuel costs. Prior to the hearing, the Commission effectively denied ETI's request
for a purchased-power capacity rider by removing it as an issue to be addressed in the hearing on the
ETI Application. In their PFD, the ALJs recommended an overall rate increase for ETI of
$28.3 million, did not recommend approving the renewable-energy credit rider sought by ETI, and
recommended approving ETI's request to reconcile fuel and purchased power costs during the
Reconciliation Period.3      Ultimately, the Commission largely followed the recommendations
contained in the PFD, but reduced the overall rate increase to $27.7 million.4

        In this docket, Michael P. Considine, a Manager in the Regulatory Accounting Department of
Entergy Services, Inc. (ESI), ETI's service company affiliate, testified in support of the company's
claim for recovery of rate case expenses. He explained that ETI is seeking authority to recover its

rate case expenses over a three-year period, while earning a return on the unamortized balance.' ETI
seeks to recover $8,752,5456 in rate case expenses associated with Docket 39896 that were incurred
and paid as of September 30, 2012.7 Of that total, $7,635,236 was incurred by ETI and $1,117,309
was incurred by Cities. Of the total amount, ETI classifies $3,908,214 as "external" rate case
expenses (i.e., those expenses paid to outside accounting services, outside counsel, and outside
consultants), and $4,844,362 as "internal" rate case expenses (i.e., those expenses related to direct
expenses, payroll, benefits, and taxes of ETI and Entergy Services, Inc. (ESI), an affiliated company
of ETI).8 Mr. Considine offered the opinion that all of ETI's internal rate case expenses were
reasonable and necessary.9 Another ETI witness, Stephen F. Morris, offered his opinion that all of
ETI's external rate case expenses were reasonable and necessary.10 Mr. Morris is an attorney and
certified public accountant who was retained by ETI to review the company's external rate case
expenses.' l ETI also seeks authority to defer until its next rate case all rate case expenses incurred in
Docket 39896 after September 30, 2012.12

B.       Cities' Rate Case Expenses

         Pursuant to PURA § 33.023, any municipality participating in a ratemaking proceeding may
engage attorneys, consultants, and others to assist it, and the electric utility "shall" reimburse the
municipality for its "reasonable cost" of participating in the ratemaking proceeding "to the extent the
[Commission] determines is reasonable."

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

            In this case, Cities seek reimbursement for rate case expenses totaling $1,201,568.61. Cities
identify this amount as the "total actual and estimated rate case expenses" incurred by Cities in four
forums: (1) ETI's base rate cases before the municipalities; (2) participation in Docket 39896;
(3) participation in any appeals of Docket 39896; and (4) participation in the present case,
Docket 40295.13 Of the $1,201,568.61 total, $1,125,768.61 represents actual expenses incurred by
Cities through August 31, 2012, while $75,800 represents Cities' estimated expenses through
completion of Dockets 39896 and 40295, and any appeal. 14 Cities offered the expert testimony of
Amalija "Amy" Hodgins, a former ALJ, who opined that these expenses were reasonable and should
be reimbursed. 15

            No party challenged the reasonableness of Cities' expenditures through August 31, 2012
(i.e., $1,125,768.61), and the AU can find no reason to do so either.

            Staff challenges, however, Cities' attempt to recover their estimated expenses after that date
(i.e., $75,800). Cities seek to be reimbursed for these estimated expenses only "if and when they

occur," up to the maximum of $75,800.16 Ms. Hodgins offered her opinion that the amount of the
estimated expenses is reasonable. 17           In reliance upon Commission precedent from 2005,
Ms. Hodgins argued that estimated rate case expenses are reimbursable. Ms. Hodgins testified as
follows:

            Projected rate case expenses can be, and routinely have been, found reasonable and
            reimbursable by this Commission. The fact that a municipality's rate case expenses
            have not all been incurred, as of the date of the determination of the reasonableness
            of rate case expenses, does not render them unreasonable. Expenses need only be
            reasonable and incurred to be recoverable.

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

          The future activities and corresponding costs, that are the subject of estimation, are
          necessary to complete a proceeding before the Commission. The Commission in
          CenterPoint's CTC case found estimated costs to complete a case were recoverable
          once the estimated expenses were incurred and known and measurable. ...
          Accordingly, it is reasonable for the Commission, in this proceeding, to consider and
          allow the Cities to recover the estimated costs to complete this proceeding, including
          possible judicial appeals, if and when those expenses are incurred.18

          Staff argues, based upon Commission precedent, that Cities are not entitled to reimbursement
for estimated future rate case expenses.19 Staff does not challenge the reasonableness of the amount
of estimated expenses, nor does any other party. Rather, Staff asserts that the Commission precedent
relied upon by Ms. Hodgins has been superseded by more recent precedent. Specifically, in 2010,
the Commission decided a case in which it disallowed estimated rate case expenses. In
Docket 37772, the Commission disallowed recovery of estimated expenses, holding that "approving
estimated rate-case expenses is not in the public interest," but allowed the cities involved in that case
to seek "recovery of actual rate-case expenses included in the estimates in [the utility's] next rate
case."20 Thus, Staff argues that Cities' attempt to obtain its estimated expenses should be disallowed.

          Staff further argues that Cities should not be entitled to recover the expenses associated with
the preparation of the portion of Ms. Hodgins' testimony in which she advocates in support of the
recovery of Cities' estimated expenses. By Staffs calculation, this reduction amounts to $1,208.42
(representing Cities' actual costs for Ms. Hodgins' testimony related to the recovery of estimated
expenses).21 No other party joins Staff in its opposition to Cities' estimated expenses.

          The ALJ recommends that Cities' request with regard to its estimated expenses be granted.
Pursuant to Section 33.023 of PURA, Cities are entitled to reimbursement for their expenses

reasonably incurred in this case. As noted above, no party challenged the reasonableness of Cities'
estimation that its expenses after August 2012 would total $75,800. The ALJ concludes that the
estimate is reasonable.22 Most importantly, the ALJ notes that Cities are not actually seeking
reimbursement of estimated rate case expenses. Rather, Cities asks for: (1) approval now of the
reasonableness of its estimated expenses; but (2) reimbursement of those expenses only after they are
incurred, and only up to the estimated amount of $75,800. Cities argue that, from a policy
standpoint, it is more economical and efficient for Cities to request reimbursement of reasonable
estimated rate case expenses to the extent they are incurred in this case, rather than requiring Cities
to wait and ask for reimbursement of those expenses when ETI files a new rate case at some point in
the future, a contingency which might not occur for many years. The ALJ agrees. The ALJ further
believes that it would be unfair if Cities were obligated to wait until ETI files a new rate case in order
to recover its estimated expenses from the present case.                    Any such arrangement would delay,
potentially for years, Cities' recovery of its actual expenses in the present rate case, a result which
seems contrary to the clear intent expressed in PURA § 33.023 that municipalities are entitled to
reimbursement for their reasonable rate cases expenses. Moreover, such an arrangement would
obligate Cities to participate in a future ETI rate case that they might otherwise have no interest in
becoming a party to.

         For these reasons, the ALJ recommends:

         (1)       that Cities' rate case expenses be found to be reasonable in the amount of
                   $1,201,568.61 (consisting of $1,125,768.61 in actual expenses incurred by Cities
                   through August 31, 2012, and $75,800 in estimated expenses to be incurred by Cities
                   after August 31, 2012 through completion of Dockets 39896 and 40295, and any
                   appeal);

         (2)       that ETI be ordered to reimburse Cities for $1,125,768.61 in actual expenses incurred
                   by Cities through August 31, 2012; and

22 Indeed, the ALJ notes that Cities attached to their Reply Brief an affidavit from Ms. Hodgins attesting to the fact that,
from September through November 2012, Cities actually incurred expenses of $43,525.45 (or 57% of the estimated
$75,800). Cities Reply Br. at 4-5, and attached affidavit.

           (3)      that ETI be ordered to reimburse Cities for actual expenses incurred by Cities after
                    August 31, 2012, through completion of Dockets 39896 and 40295 and any appeal up
                    to a maximum possible amount of $75,800.

C.         ETI's Rate Case Expenses

           Pursuant to PURA Section 36.061(b), the Commission "may" allow a utility to recover its
"reasonable costs of participating in a [ratemaking proceeding] not to exceed that amount approved"
by the Commission.

           ETI seeks recovery of $8,752,545 in rate case expenses associated with Docket 39896 that
were incurred and paid as of September 30, 2012.               However, that total includes only the
$1,125,768.61 in expenses incurred by Cities through August 31, 2012, but does not also include the
$75,800 in expenses estimated for Cities as discussed above. Because the ALJ is recommending that

Cities' estimated expenses be approved as outlined above, the ALJ deems ETI's overall request to
have been increased by $75,800 to a total amount of $8,828,345.

           The parties other than ETI challenged various components of ETI's rate case expenses.
Those challenges are discussed as follows.

           1.       Challenges to Specific ETI Rate Case Expenses That are Relatively Quantifiable

                    a.       Costs Associated with Gerald Tucker, ETI's Consulting Expert

           In Docket 39896, ETI retained Gerald Tucker as a consulting expert to assist in the
preparation of the utility's case dealing with affiliate transactions. Mr. Tucker is an accountant who
has experience regarding affiliate costs in Commission rate cases and who has commonly assisted
ETI in its rate cases.23

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

           State Agencies contend that Mr. Tucker's fees should be disallowed. No party other than
State Agencies challenged Mr. Tucker's expenses. State Agencies complain that Mr. Tucker: (1) did
not testify; (2) provided services that were described by ETI in only "the most general terms;" and
(3) provided services (such as reviewing witness testimony, reviewing discovery responses,
benchmarking, and assisting in preparing witnesses for deposition) that were duplicative of services
provided by ETI's legal counsel or other consultants. Accordingly, State Agencies argue that the
$116,119 representing Mr. Tucker's fees should be excluded from rate case expenses.24

           ETI responds by contending that, over the last 20 years or so, the Commission has, at times,
disallowed large percentages of utility companies' affiliate expenses, based upon the fact that ALJs
and the Commissioners have had difficulty understanding the complex information supplied by
utilities concerning affiliate transactions. In light of that history, ETI contends that it reasonably
relied upon the expertise and accounting experience of Mr. Tucker to assist it in preparing and
presenting information about the company's affiliate transactions in order to assure that it was
understandable. According to ETI, Mr. Tucker has been involved in all rate cases of ETI and its

predecessor since in 1997. ETI contends that Mr. Tucker's participation in Docket 39896 enabled
the company to present clearer and more accurate information about its affiliate transactions.
Moreover, ETI disputes that Mr. Tucker's work was duplicative of the work performed by the
company's attorneys, pointing out that Mr. Tucker provided expertise from the accounting
perspective, rather than from the legal perspective.25

           The AU recommends that Mr. Tucker's fees be included in the rate case expenses. State
Agencies are essentially arguing that it was solely the job of ETI's attorneys and its testifying experts
to prepare the case regarding affiliate transactions and, therefore, any work performed by Mr. Tucker
with regard to affiliate transactions was purely duplicative. The AU disagrees. As pointed out by
ETI, the notion that multiple people with varied expertise cannot provide valuable input on a
complex issue like affiliate transactions is overly simplistic. ETI demonstrated that Mr. Tucker

provided real expertise that benefited the company in the presentation of its case. In other words,
ETI proved the reasonableness of Mr. Tucker's expenses.

                    b.       Costs Associated with "Lessons Learned"

           In Docket 39896, ETI included several charges from its law firm, Duggins, Wren, Mann &
Romero (Duggins Wren), for "lessons learned," as shown in a July 26, 2011 invoice from the law
firm. The charges total $5,743.50.26 According to ETI, the charges relate to a memo provided to
ETI by the firm which contained a "detailed analysis of developments in ETI's last rate case as well
as developments in four recent pertinent cases at the PUCT that had taken place since the last ETI
rate case."27 The memo identified procedural and substantive issues for ETI to consider while
preparing its rate case in Docket 39896.28

           State Agencies contend that any "lessons learned" should have already been learned in the
prior rate case and, therefore, any "refreshing [ofJ the learning curve ... should be a shareholder, not
ratepayer, expense. Bringing one's attorneys `up to speed' for the third rate case filed in five years
ought to be regarded as the legal equivalent of a`luxury item. `29 No party other than State Agencies
challenged the "lessons learned" expenses.

           ETI responds by contending that State Agencies are essentially seeking to punish the
company for its efforts to learn from the past. ETI also contends that State Agencies' argument
would have the perverse effect of increasing, rather than decreasing rate case expenses. According to
ETI:

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

         Incurring these costs to analyze lessons learned from litigating prior rate cases and
         important aspects of non-ETI Commission rate cases, if anything, reduces overall rate
         case expenses by supporting a more efficient case presentation and avoiding prior
         issues that lead to contention among the parties.30

         The ALJ agrees and recommends that the "lessons learned" expenses be included in the rate
case expenses. ETI demonstrated that the expenses were reasonable because they benefited the
company in the presentation of its case.

                  c.       ESI Depreciation Costs

         ETI identified, as part of its "internal" rate case expenses, $207,683 in "Depreciation &
Amort" expenses. 31 As explained by ETI witness Considine, the expenses are for the depreciation of
assets (apparently office equipment) used by ESI employees who participated in the rate case.32
Mr. Considine further testified that the costs were a reasonable and necessary part of ESI providing
services for the rate case.33

         State Agencies contend that recovery of such depreciation expenses should be denied
because: (1) such a recovery is unprecedented; (2) ETI has failed to prove that the expenses were
reasonable and necessary; and (3) the expenses were not "incurred" for the rate case. As to the last
point, State Agencies explains: "ESI's depreciable property exists, and is presumably depreciated,
whether or not proceedings in Texas take place. As such, this `cost' was not necessary for ETI's
participation in the rate case and should be disallowed."34 No party other than State Agencies
challenged the depreciation expenses.

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

           ETI responds by explaining that the costs at issue are "a loader to ESI labor costs covering
depreciation on office expenses and capital." Notably, however, ETI also concedes that such costs
would "typically [be] embedded in a vendor's labor costs billed to the Company. ,35

           The AU recommends that the depreciation expenses be disallowed. ETI has not cited to any
precedent which would justify the recovery of these apparently unusual rate case expenses.
Moreover, ETI has failed to prove the reasonableness of the expenses under the more stringent
standards that are applicable to affiliate expenses. As explained in Railroad Comm 'n v. Rio Grande
Valley Gas Company, unlike arms-length transactions, affiliate transactions "are clearly tainted with
the possibility of self-dealing."36 The Commission and the courts have consistently placed a greater
burden of proof upon a utility company to prove the reasonableness of transactions with its affiliated
companies because of the potential for self-dealing.

           In this case, ETI is seeking reimbursement of $2.9 million for payments it made to its
affiliate, ESI, for work done by ESI employees relevant to Docket 39896, plus $207,683 for
depreciation of the assets used by the ESI employees in their work. 37 This is in stark contrast to its
arms-length dealings with outside consultants. For example, ETI is seeking reimbursement for
$2.4 million in expenses from Duggins Wren, but it is not also seeking to recover depreciation
expenses for Duggins Wren's equipment. If the work done by ESI employees had, instead, been
done by outside consultants, it is very doubtful that the outside consultants would also have expected
an ETI payment for the depreciation of their equipment. Thus, the very nature of ETI's depreciation
request calls its validity into question. Simply put, ETI has failed to establish that it is entitled to
recover a depreciation expense related to an affiliate transaction because it would not similarly
recover such an expense in an arms-length transaction with an unaffiliated company.

                  d.      Miscellaneous Internal Rate Case Expenses

         Under the heading of "Internal Rate Case Expenses (Non-Payroll)," ETI seeks recovery of a
number of categories of expenses. State Agencies challenge the following four categories:

         •       "business meals/entertainment" in the amount of $3,852;
         •        "other employee expenses" in the amount of $3,423;
         •       "employee mtgs/functions" in the amount of $7,762; and
         •       "utility bills" in the amount of $2,518.38

According to State Agencies, the justification for these charges has not been explained, nor are they
reasonable and necessary. No other party challenged these expenses.

         ETI responds by explaining, in great detail, where the supporting documentation can be
found, within the company's exhibits, to justify each of the expenses.39 Without repeating that
discussion here, the ALJ is convinced that the evidence in the record supports the conclusion that the
expenses are reasonable and should be recovered by ETI.

                 e.      Costs Associated with the Calpine-Carville PPA

        In a "Recommendation" filed prior to the hearing in this matter, OPUC argued that the
Commission should disallow the recovery of any rate case expenses associated with the regulatory
approval of the Calpine-Carville Purchased Power Agreement (the Calpine-Carville PPA). In
Docket 39896, ETI sought, and obtained, regulatory approval of the Calpine-Carville PPA.
The affiliate expenses related to the contract were assigned to Project F3PPWET308.                      The
Project F3PPWET308 costs were approved for recovery in Docket 39896.40 As a result, OPUC

 contends that ETI has already recovered its expenses associated with the Calpine-Carville PPA and,
 if it were allowed to recovery those expenses again, it would be receiving a double recovery.a'
 OPUC did not identify a specific dollar amount that it believes should be disallowed. Moreover,
 OPUC did not discuss this issue in any of its post-hearing briefing. In their post-hearing briefing,
 State Agencies "concurred" with OPUC's recommendation, but provided no discussion of the
issue.42

           ETI did discuss this issue in its post-hearing briefing. The company points out, correctly, that
the Commission has already specifically rejected OPUC's double recovery argument. In

Docket 39896, OPUC argued that the costs ETI sought related to the Calpine-Carville PPA should
have been denied in that docket because they were, among other things, rate case expenses. The
Commission specifically disagreed and allowed recovery of the costs in that docket.43 In other
words, because the Commission has already concluded that ETI did not recover any rate case
expenses associated with the Calpine-Carville PPA in Docket 39896, the company will not be
receiving a double recovery if it recovers such expenses in this docket.

           Further, as explained by ETI witness Considine, costs were charged to Project F3PPWET308

(the internal project code for the Calpine-Carville PPA development costs) as the contract was being
developed. Those costs were recovered in Docket 39896. On the other hand, costs were charged to
Project F5PPETX011 (the internal project code for the rate case in Docket 39896) as testimony or
other hearing-related work was performed for pocket 39896. According to ETI, it is only the latter
costs, associated with Project F5PPETX011, that are being sought here. As a result, no double
recovery will occur.44 The ALJ concludes that ETI has the better argument on this issue, and

                     f.        Specific Items That State Agencies Contend Cast Doubt on ETI's
                               Overall Scrutiny of Its Expenses

            State Agencies performed what they described as a number of "spot check" reviews of ETI's
costs and identified several errors or items that they contend should be disallowed. Moreover, State
Agencies contend that it is not only these specific items which should be disallowed. Rather, they
argue that the flaws they have identified should cast doubt on the overall adequacy of the internal
review process utilized by ETI in quantifying its rate case expenses. According to State Agencies,
"[i]dentification of these questionable costs underscores the need for conservative, rather than
liberal, standards for allowing rate case expenses.s45 Similarly, State Agencies argue that these items
demonstrate ETI's "lack of diligence in exercising basic economic restraint. ,46

           Staff agrees that State Agencies' examination of these issues "call[s] into question the
thoroughness of ETI's review of its rate case expenses."47 Staff further points out that, because the

testimony of ETI witness Considine (who was the company's prime witness supporting the
reasonableness of its internal rate case expenses) contained "mistakes that he was engaged to
identify," his testimony "is of limited value."48 In its Reply Brief, Staff reiterates: "Staff shares the
concerns raised by State Agencies regarding the adequacy of ETI's review of its rate case
expenses."49 Similarly, OPUC agrees that State Agencies' examples illustrate that, as to rate case
expenses, ETI did not act as a prudent gatekeeper.so

                             (1)     External Legal Fees

          ETI seeks to recover roughly $2.4 million in legal fees paid to the Duggins Wren law firm.s 1
State Agencies argue that this amount should be reduced. ETI witness Stephen Morris was hired to
review ETI's external legal expenses and testify about the reasonableness of those expenses.52 State
Agencies question the objectivity, quality, and extent of Mr. Morris' review. For example, State
Agencies point out that, rather than being retained by ETI, he was retained by Duggins Wren, the
firm whose fees he was to review.53 Staff agrees that this arrangement "likely undermined
Mr. Morri s' objectivity. ,54

          State Agencies also contend that, based upon his invoices, Mr. Morris spent only a "minimal"
amount of time reviewing Duggins Wren's bills.55           Yet, by State Agencies' own reckoning,
Mr. Morris and his associate spent roughly 21 hours reviewing Duggins Wren bills.56 Mr. Morris
testified as to the reasonableness of the hourly rates charged by Duggins Wren. State Agencies
argue, however, that Mr. Morris' focus was too narrow and he should have, instead, been critical of
the fact that too many Duggins Wren attorneys, twelve, were involved in the case.57 State Agencies
are also critical of the fact that Mr. Morris apparently did not scrutinize Duggins Wren's bills for
duplicative legal work. For example, State Agencies point out that on April 25, 2012, a day from the
hearing in Docket 39896, five Duggins Wren attorneys billed a total of 26.3 hours for a hearing day
that lasted less than seven hours and in which in-house ETI lawyers defended many of the witnesses.
On the next day, April 26, six Duggins Wren attorneys billed a total of 24.4 hours for a hearing day
that lasted less than eight hours and in which only three Duggins Wren attorneys participated .51 State

Agencies contend that "a reduction is in order" for the Duggins Wren costs, but do not suggest what
size the reduction should be.

           ETI responds by defending the reasonableness of the Duggins Wren costs. For one thing, ETI
points out that the $2.4 million in legal fees paid to Duggins Wren includes fees and expenses for
five consultants billed through Duggins Wren without mark-up.59 Additionally, ETI explains that the
huge scope of the hearing necessitated substantial legal work. ETI presented 39 witnesses who
discussed hundreds of categories of costs.               ETI points out that while it used the services of
12 attorneys, they were opposed by 15 attorneys: four for Staff; three for TIEC; three for Cities; and
one each for State Agencies, OPUC, U.S. Department of Energy, Kroger, and Wal-Mart .60

           The ALJ is unswayed by State Agencies' arguments. Given the size and complexity of
Docket 39896, the legal costs involved do not appear to be inordinate. Mr. Morris testified, credibly,
that the fees and expenses charged by Duggins Wren were reasonable and necessary. The ALJ does

not recommend any reduction of the fees in response to State Agencies' arguments.

                             (2)        Meals and Snacks

           State Agencies identified 19 entries in Duggins Wren invoices whereby the firm charged ETI
for meals or snacks. According to State Agencies, most of these purchases occurred during business
hours and involved only law firm personnel. ETI personnel were only occasionally involved in these
purchases. Almost all of the charges were for meals or snacks delivered to Duggins Wren's offices.
The purchases total $2,723.54.61 State Agencies contend that these costs were not necessary for
participation in Docket 39896 and should be disallowed.

 PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

            Moreover, State Agencies point out that Duggins Wren is applying a different standard to
 itself than it applies to its own contractors. Pursuant to the contract by which Duggins Wren hired
 Mr. Morris, meals while he or his staff are located at his office are not reimbursable.62 Thus, State
 Agencies conclude that Duggins Wren should be held to the same standard when passing on rate case
 expenses for office meals, beverages, and snacks.63

            ETI responds by pointing out that the charges were not done routinely, but only when
necessary to enable personnel "to work over lunch and dinner to meet certain deadlines ... and as an
alternative to purchasing reimbursable meals at restaurants when out-of-town members of the rate
case team worked in Austin."64 ETI describes the expenses as a reasonable part of prosecuting a
laborious rate case. The AU agrees and does not recommend any disallowance of these costs.

                               (3)        Courier and Taxi Services

           State Agencies identified 20 dates in Duggins Wren invoices whereby the firm charged ETI
for courier, taxi, or Federal Express charges for delivery of documents that State Agencies argue
could have been delivered electronically. The charges total $1,004.52.65 State Agencies contend
that these costs were not necessary for participation in Docket 39896 and should be disallowed.
State Agencies again point out that Duggins Wren is applying a different standard to itself than it
applies to its own contractors. The contract by which Duggins Wren hired Mr. Morris states that
"advances in technology, specifically transmission of information and documentation by e-mail,
scanning, . . . etc. have made routine ... delivery of hard copy documents less critical and, in many

 cases, unnecessary."66 Thus, State Agencies conclude that Duggins Wren should be held to the same
 standard when passing on rate case expenses for document delivery.67

            ETI responds by explaining the context of many of the charges. For example, two of the
 three cab fares were for a paralegal to attend and transport voluminous documents to the hearing, and
 the third was to transport the same paralegal to the Commission for legal research.68         As to the
 courier and FedEx charges, ETI points out that Commission rules require some types of documents

 to be physically delivered for filing, and that the use of couriers and FedEx is sometimes entirely
 appropriate. ETI argues that it was "completely reasonable" for ETI to have incurred roughly $1,000
in courier and FedEx charges over the course of a rate case of the size and scope of Docket 39896.
The AU agrees and recommends no disallowance of these charges.

                              (4)    Meals Over $25

           ETI asserts that its intent was to exclude from its rate case expenses any meals above $25 per
person.69       State Agencies have, however, identified at least six meals above $25 that were

erroneously included as a part of ETI's rate case expenses.70 ETI admits that at least some of these
charges were included in error.71 ETI disputes, however, the notion that these errors should call into
question the overall reliability of its rate case expenses.

           The AU agrees with ETI. This was a large case with a large number of expenses. The

relatively few errors with respect to meals uncovered by State Agencies do not lead the ALJ to doubt
the overall accuracy of ETI's accounting. Nevertheless, by the AU's reckoning, the total amount

 that should be disallowed for meals over $25 (i.e., the amount by which the meals exceeded
 $25/meal) is $281.04.

                            (5)     Clothing and Laundry Service

          State Agencies identified, as part of ETI's requested rate case expenses, a $10.44 invoice
from a Duggins Wren attorney for the purchase of a shirt and socks "due to unexpected extended
stay. ,72 Similarly, OPUC contests a $40.33 laundry charge incurred by the same attorney for the

same reason.73 ETI witness Considine generally agreed that clothing charges by attorneys working
on the rate case should not be passed through to ratepayers as a rate case expense.74

          ETI argues that the expenses were reasonable because they were brought about by an
unplanned, but necessary, extension of the attorney's business tri p.75 Mr. Morris testified that such
expenses can be considered reasonable.76        Nevertheless, ETI has agreed to no longer request
reimbursement for the $10.44 clothing charge. Because laundry has to be done regardless of where
one finds oneself, the AU recommends that the $40.33 laundry charge likewise be disallowed.

                            (6)     Airfare and Lodging

          State Agencies identify several charges for airfare by ETI employees or consultants that were
in the $500 to $650 range. State Agencies fault ETI for not controlling costs by securing discount, or
at least more economical, fares.77 Similarly, State Agencies complain that, too often, ETI employees
or consultants "went `first class' on accommodations," incurring charges of more than $200 per night

 and, on occasion, $300 per night. State Agencies also complain of inadequate documentation of
lodging charges, pointing to a $479.55 lodging charge without any underlying receipts.78 ETI makes
no response to these complaints.

         The ALJ acknowledges that these complaints raise a legitimate concern. It is human nature
to be more carefree with "other people's money" than with one's own. The complaints raised by
State Agencies suggest that ETI may have been more lax with its spending because it believed that
airfare and lodging expenses would ultimately be borne by its ratepayers. Nevertheless, other than
for the $479.55 lodging charge, State Agencies' complaints are too vague and unproven to justify any
specific disallowance recommendations by the ALJ. For example, although it might not always cost
$600 to get from Point A to Point B, such a fare might be unavoidable under certain circumstances.
Without evidence in the record demonstrating that ETI paid $600 for an airfare when a cheaper fare
was available, the AU cannot conclude that the fare was unreasonable. The same logic applies to
the lodging complaints. Accordingly, the AU recommends no large disallowances related to airfare
and lodging charges, but does recommend disallowing the $479.55 lodging charge that is
unsupported by receipts.

         2.       Challenges to Specific ETI Rate Case Expenses That are Difficult to Quantify

                  a.       Financially-Based Incentive Compensation

         One of the hotly contested issues in Docket 39896 concerned ETI's request to recover,
through its rates, incentive compensation paid to its employees that was tied to the company's
financial goals (financially-based incentive compensation). In Docket 39896, all parties, including
ETI, agreed that Commission precedent mandated that financially-based incentive compensation is
not recoverable. Nevertheless, in its application, ETI asked the Commission to reconsider its
precedents on this issue. ETI contended that the reason why cost recovery had been denied for
financially-based incentive compensation in prior rates cases was that, in those prior cases, there was

 PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

 a lack of evidence showing sufficient benefits to ratepayers. ETI asserted that it assembled evidence
 not previously considered by the Commission showing the benefits to ratepayers of using financial
 measures in incentive compensation programs.

          All of the other parties in Docket 39896 opposed ETI's efforts to recover the costs of its
 financially-based incentive compensation, uniformly agreeing that the Commission has a well-
 established and straightforward policy that incentive compensation tied to financial goals is not
recoverable. In the PFD in Docket 39896, the ALJs concluded that ETI should not be entitled to
recover its financially-based incentive compensation costs:

           Simply put, the ALJs conclude that ETI has failed to establish a sufficient
          justification for overturning the well-established Commission policy that financially
          based incentive compensation is not recoverable.79

The Commission agreed and ordered that $6,196,037 plus associated FICA taxes (representing ETI's
financially-based incentive compensation payments) should be removed from ETI's Operating and
Maintenance (O&M) expenses, and $335,752.96 (representing ETI's capitalized incentive
compensation that was financially-based) should be excluded from ETI's rate base.80

          In this docket, Staff, State Agencies, and OPUC contend that ETI should not be entitled to
recover any rate case expenses it incurred in attempting to recover its financially-based incentive
costs in Docket 39896. For example, Staff argues that, by challenging "overwhelming Commission
precedent," ETI did not act reasonably when it incurred expenses litigating for recovery of its
financially-based incentive costs.81 Staff contends that the Commission has such an "unequivocal"
history of denying recovery for financially-based incentive payments that "ETI should have known

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

that litigating a position opposed to [it] was not a reasonable use of resources."82 State Agencies
point out that Docket 39896 was merely the latest of three recent cases in which ETI sought, but
failed to obtain, authority to charge ratepayers for its financially-based incentive costs (the others
being Dockets 34800 and 37744).83

          ETI defends its decision to seek to recover financially-based incentive costs in Docket 39896
by contending that the issue of the compensability of such costs is undergoing "continuing
clarification" at the Commission.84                  Moreover, ETI suggests that, in open meetings,
"Commissioners" have expressed some concern with the Commission's precedents on this issue and
suggested recovery might be allowed in a "properly organized and evidenced" case.85 Finally, ETI
points to a recent SOAH order in an on-going SWEPCO rate case in which the ALJs denied State
Agencies' attempt to have stricken testimony proffered by SWEPCO regarding financially-based
incentive compensation.86

          The AU agrees with Staff, State Agencies, and OPUC. It was obvious throughout the
hearing in Docket 39896 that ETI was taking an aggressive position and making a "long-shot"
argument in seeking recovery for its financially-based incentive compensation.87 In its briefing in the
present case, ETI cites to a number of cases in which, over the years, other utilities have requested
recovery of financially-based incentive compensation. These examples, however, hurt ETI's cause
more than they help it because all of the requests were unanimously denied by the Commission. This
hardly suggests that the issue is undergoing "continuing clarification." Likewise, ETI's suggestion
that "Commissioners" have expressed some concern with the Commission precedent overstates and
distorts the facts.        The statements relied upon by ETI came from a single Commissioner,

87 The AU in the present case was also one of the presiding ALJs in Docket 39896.

Mr. Anderson, not multiple Commissioners. Moreover, in that statement, Commissioner Anderson
only obliquely implied that he might prefer to allow recovery for financially-based incentive costs,
but he agreed that Commission precedent mandates otherwise, and the Commission voted
unanimously to disallow such costs in the case before them. Additionally, Commissioner Anderson
has stated that, if the Commission were to ever discontinue "such a long and accepted precedent," it
should do so through "rulemaking" rather than "do it in a particular case. ,88

         Finally, ETI's reliance on the recent SOAH order in the SWEPCO case is similarly
misplaced. In that order, the ALJs effectively held that SWEPCO was not legally precluded from
seeking recovery for its financially-based incentive compensation. It is one thing to acknowledge
that a utility has a legal right to pursue a long-shot theory. It is another thing entirely, however, to
hold that the ratepayers must pay the costs of the utility's pursuit of that long-shot.

         Simply put, the AU concludes that ETI did not act reasonably when it incurred expenses
litigating for recovery of its financially-based incentive costs in the face of clear and consistent
precedent to the contrary on the issue. As such, the AU recommends that ETI's expenses be cut by
some amount to account for this issue. The problem then becomes how to quantify the size of the
disallowance. A few of ETI's expenses relating to the pursuit of its financially-based incentive

compensation are clear. ETI utilized the services of Dr. Jay Hartzell as an expert witness on this
issue. In total, ETI paid Dr. Hartzell at least $12,825 in consulting fees, plus $13,680 in legal fees
related to the preparation of his testimony.89 This, however, does not capture ETI's entire cost of
litigating the issue of financially-based incentive compensation. Substantial costs were incurred, for
example, in discussing the issue at the hearing and in post-hearing briefing. These additional
amounts are not in the record. In Section N.C.3 of this PFD, below, the AU discusses various
possible approaches for reducing the amount of rate case expenses recovered by ETI to account for
the financially-based incentive compensation issue.

                  b.      Transmission Equalization (MSS-2) Expenses

         Another of the hotly contested issues in Docket 39896 concerned ETI's request to recover,
 through its rates, roughly $9 million more for transmission equalization payments than it actually
 paid in the Test Year. ETI is one of several "Entergy Operating Companies" that shares usage of an
 Entergy transmission grid. Payments for use of the grid (the transmission equalization payments) are
 made among the Entergy Operating Companies based upon a highly complex formula set out in the
 "MSS-2" agreement.

         In the Test Year at issue in Docket 39896, ETI made transmission equalization payments
 totaling roughly $1.7 million. Rather than seeking to recover only $1.7 million, however, ETI sought
to recover roughly $10.7 million, which it claimed represented its anticipated transmission
equalization payments in the Rate Year. ETI claimed the additional $9 million was based on the
company's estimates of transmission construction projects that were expected to have been
completed by or during the Rate Year.

         All other parties in Docket 39896 opposed ETI's effort to recover more than its Test Year
expenses. The ALJs concluded that ETI failed to meet its burden to prove that its proposed Rate
Year MSS-2 costs were known and measurable.90 The Commission agreed and ordered that only
ETI's Test Year costs should be counted.91 The Commission described ETI's projection of its Rate
Year expenses as "uncertain and speculative."92

        In this docket, Staff, OPUC, and State Agencies contend that ETI should not be entitled to

recover any rate case expenses it incurred in attempting to recover the additional $9 million in

 projected transmission equalization payments.93 As explained by Staff: "It was clearly unreasonable
 for ETI to have sought recovery for [its projected Rate Year costs] due to the exceedingly speculative
 nature of those costs, and therefore a disallowance to its requested rate case expense amount should
 be imposed."94 OPUC witness Nathan Benedict testified that, by seeking the additional $9 million,
 ETI was, in effect, challenging the precedent that post-Test Year adjustments must be known and
 measurable. 95

            ETI responds by first disputing the notion that it was "challenging precedent" by seeking the
 additional $9 million.

            ETI did not incur rate case expenses in pursuit of a position contrary to the well-
            established `known and measurable' standard for PTYAs [post Test Year
            adjustments]. Rather, the Commission disagreed that the evidence put forth by ETI
            met that standard. This is a very important distinction. Finding that evidence put
            forth by a utility did not meet an established standard does not equate to a finding that
            the utility unreasonably contested the applicability of such standard.96

ETI further points out that the evidence in the record supported its contention that its actual post-Test

Year transmission equalization payments were on an upward trend.97

            The ALJ recommends that ETI's rate case expenses associated with its pursuit of the
additional $9 million for post-Test Year transmission equalization payments be disallowed. The AU
acknowledges the distinction made by ETI: It sought not to challenge the "known and measurable"
precedent, but merely failed to meet the standard. In this regard, ETI's position as to transmission
equalization payments was perhaps less controversial than its position as to financially-based
incentive compensation. Nevertheless, ETI took another "long-shot" position as to its transmission
equalization payments. Its claim was based on future transmission construction projects that might

 never be undertaken and that were found by the Commission to have been speculative. Accordingly,
 the AU concludes that ETI did not act reasonably when it litigated the issue, and recommends that
 ETI's expenses related to this issue not be passed on to the ratepayers.

         Having concluded that these rate case expenses should not be paid by the ratepayers, the
 problem again becomes how to quantify the expenses. ETI did not structure its rate case expenses in
 such a manner as to make it possible to determine how much of the expenses were incurred in
pursuing the additional $9 million in transmission equalization payments.98 In Section IV.C.3 of this
PFD, below, the AU discusses various possible approaches for reducing the amount of rate case
expenses recovered by ETI to account for the transmission equalization payments issue.

                   c.     Purchased Power Capacity Rider

         In Docket 39896, ETI initially requested a Purchased Power Capacity Rider (PPCR), instead
of including purchased capacity costs in base rates. The Commission, however, rejected the PPCR
request in a Supplemental Preliminary Order on the grounds that the Commission already had a
then-pending rulemaking effort underway to determine the structure of such a rider for all generating
utilities.99

         In this docket, Staff, OPUC, and State Agencies argue that ETI should not be entitled to

recover any rate case expenses it incurred in attempting to secure a PPCR because it was too
speculative in light of the pending rulemaking effort. 100

         ETI responds by contending that the mere fact that there was a rulemaking effort underway
with respect to PPCRs did not mean that ETI was somehow precluded from seeking a PPCR through
its application.    Moreover, ETI notes that, in briefing during Docket 39896, Staff, State Agencies,

    and TIEC all took the position that there was no legal impediment to ETI's seeking a PPCR in the
    rate case.lol

            The ALJ agrees with ETI and does not recommend any disallowances in relation to the PPCR
    request. The fact that there was a pending proposed rule at the time ETI asked for the rider should
    not be viewed as precluding ETI's request. Indeed, the very uncertainty inherent in the rulemaking
    process suggested that the accepted practices with regard to purchased capacity costs were in a state
    of flux and, therefore, it was reasonable for ETI to pursue the rider.

            3.      Proportional Reduction

            In addition to the above challenges to specific items of expense incurred by ETI, a number of
    parties raised more generic concerns about the company's rate case expenses. State Agencies
    expressed concern that, as a general matter, rate case expenses in cases before the Commission
    appear to be "getting out of hand." 102 Staff "firmly agrees" with this concern. 103 State Agencies
worry that utilities have no incentive to minimize the number of rate case proceedings or the
efficiency of rate case presentation because they assume their costs will simply be passed on to
ratepayers. loa State Agencies urge the Commission to allocate rate case expenses in such a way that
incentivizes utilities to more productively and efficiently use their time in rate cases. 105 OPUC
agrees that the standard for evaluating the amount of rate cases expenses to be reimbursed ought to
be structured so as to give a utility pause before deciding to pursue overly aggressive or novel
arguments. 106

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

          Along these same lines, Staff and OPUC expressed concern about the frequency of ETI rate
cases over recent years. Docket 39896 was the third ETI rate case in four years. Each case resulted
in a rate increase and an obligation for the ratepayers to pay ETI's rate case expenses.107 Staff and
OPUC also expressed concern about the overall size of the rate case expenses in relation to the
outcome of the underlying rate case. Total rate case expenses ($8.8 million) equal roughly one-third
of the total approved rate increase ($27.7 million).108 Staff, State Agencies, and OPUC all expressed
the concern that ETI did not provide good stewardship in incurring rate case expenses.109

          In order to address these concerns, the parties have suggested a number of methodologies for
reducing the rate case expenses.

                    The 50/50 approach. State Agencies advocate two approaches for reducing the level
                    of recovery of rate case expenses. State Agencies' primary recommendation is that
                    ratepayers be charged for only 50% of total rate case expenses. State Agencies argue
                    that this approach would recognize that shareholders, who reap benefits from a rate
                    increase, ought to also share in the cost of obtaining that rate increase.' 10

                    The Results-Obtained Approach. Alternatively, State Agencies advocate allowing
                    ETI to recover only 26.4% of its rate case expenses, which is the ratio between the
                    rate increase obtained in Docket 39896 ( $27.7 million) and the increase sought by
                    ETI ($104.8 million). In other words, because ETI obtained only 26.4% of the rate
                    increase it sought, State Agencies contend that ETI similarly ought to be reimbursed
                    for only 26.4% of its rate case expenses.' 11 OPUC also advocates this approach.' 12

          •        The Issue-Specific Reduction Approach. Alternatively, OPUC and Staff advocate
                   an approach whereby ETI's recovery of rate case expenses is reduced by the ratio
                   between the amounts unsuccessfully sought by ETI for financially-based incentive
                   payments and transmission equalization payments and the rate increase sought by
                   ETI. ETI unsuccessfully sought financially-based incentive payments of $6.5

                   million, and transmission equalization payments of $9 million, for a total of
                   $15.5 million. ETI sought a total rate increase of $104.8 million. Under this
                   approach, $15.5 million would be divided by $104.8 million to arrive at a reduction
                   factor of 14.8%. Thus, ETI's rate case expenses would be reduced by 14.8%.113

Not surprisingly, ETI vigorously opposes all of these approaches.

          The ALJ agrees with the general concerns raised by Staff, State Agencies, and OPUC, and

believes that a substantial cut to ETI's rate case expenses is warranted. Before evaluating the merits
of the various approaches, however, it is helpful to revisit the applicable law relative to rate case
expenses.

         As noted previously, pursuant to PURA Section 36.061(b), the Commission "may" allow a
utility to recover its "reasonable costs of participating in a [ratemaking proceeding] not to exceed the
amount approved" by the Commission. This verbiage indicates that the Commission can approve
some amount that is less than the reasonable costs. Section 36.061(b) vests the Commission with

"broad discretion" to determine the amount of rate cases expenses that should be recovered,' 14 and its
determination can be set aside only if it acts without reference to guiding rules or principles.lls
There is precedent, albeit from a different agency, suggesting that it is within the agency's discretion
to find overall rate case expenses to be unreasonable even if the underlying individual cost items are
found to be reasonable.' 16 Because Section 36.061(b) states that rate case expenses "may" be
recovered, OPUC contends (and the ALJ agrees) that the Commission is not required to grant

 recovery of every reasonable expense and can take into account other considerations. As explained
 by OPUC, "[w]ithout this discretion, rate case expense proceedings would be rendered into mere
 accounting exercises."117 A number of factors--such as the time and labor required; the nature of the
 case; the size of the interest at stake; and the benefits to the client--have been deemed relevant to
 determining the reasonableness of rate case expenses.118           Moreover, the parties agree that
 Rule 1.04(b) of the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct also provides a number of
 factors that can be considered when determining reasonableness of rate case expenses.' 19

           With these basic parameters in mind, the AU turns to evaluating the three approaches
outlined above. The ALJ begins by rejecting the 50/50 Approach.           ETI and Staff argue that the
approach is contrary to Commission precedent.120 The AU agrees. Given that there are clear
Commission precedents rejecting this approach, the AU recommends that it be rejected here.

           The AU also recommends rejection of the Results-Obtained Approach, while acknowledging
that it has some strong arguments in its favor.           ETI argues that the approach is counter to
Commission precedent. 12 1 However, according to Staff, the approach has been neither adopted nor
rejected by the Commission. In other words, it is an issue of first impression.122 OPUC and State
Agencies support the use of this approach. It is unclear whether Staff explicitly supports this
approach. However, Staff describes it as an "appealing" methodology "because it would provide a
utility an incentive not to overreach in its rate increase request. ,123 Moreover, Staff argues that the

methodology is akin to the performance-based standards regarding generation plant performance that

 the Commission has approved in the past. For these reasons, Staff concludes that the Commission
 has the legal authority to apply the Results-Obtained Approach in this case. 124

             ETI complains, however, that it is a punitive and hindsight-driven approach to cost recovery,
 rather than basing cost recovery on whether a utility acted reasonably at the time it incurred such
 Costs. 125
            This is the primary reason why the AU recommends against the Results-Obtained
 Approach. Because it is an issue of first impression, ETI had no prior notice that its rate case

 expenses might be subject to such a standard. The AU simply believes it would be unacceptably
 draconian to slash ETI's rate case expenses by 73.6% based upon a standard that ETI could not have
known, beforehand, would be applied to it.

            The AU recommends adoption of the Issue-Specific Reduction Approach in this case. Staff,
OPUC, and State Agencies all support its use.                ETI argues that use of the approach is
unprecedented.126 Staff counters (and the AU agrees) that, far from being unprecedented, the

approach is entirely consistent with Commission precedent because the disallowance is a result of
specific, unreasonable actions by ETI.127

            ETI argues that the Issue-Specific Reduction Approach is improper because there is no
evidence that the 14.8% reduction equals the amount of expenses it incurred pursuing financially-
based incentive costs and transmission equalization payments.128 Staff counters (and the ALJ agrees)
that ETI bore the burden of proving its reasonable expenses, and that burden necessarily requires that
it separate out any unreasonable expenses. Having failed to do so with respect to financially-based

 PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

 incentives and transmission equalization payments, it is reasonable for the Commission to use the
 Issue-Specific Reduction Approach as a proxy for calculating those expenses.129

             There is also a point of disagreement as to the proper application of the Issue-Specific
 Reduction Approach.            ETI argues that the proponents of the approach are using the wrong
 denominator in its formulation. Rather than dividing $15.5 million by $104.8 million (the size of the
 rate increase sought by ETI), ETI asserts that $15.5 million ought to be divided by $2.1 billion (the
 size of all of ETI's costs). ETI explains that, in Docket 39896, it was obligated to prove all of its

 costs, not just the amount of the increase it sought. Under such a formula, the reduction factor would
be less than 1%.130 As pointed out by Staff and OPUC,131 ETI's reasoning is flawed. The entire
purpose of this proceeding was for ETI to obtain a rate increase, not to preserve its preexisting rates.
Indeed, the petition is styled "Application ... for Authority to Change Rates ...."132 There would

have been no need for a rate case if ETI merely sought approval of the same level of revenue
approved in the last rate case. Because a revenue increase was the driving factor for this case, the
amount of revenue increase requested is the appropriate benchmark to compare against
disallowances.

            Having concluded that the Issue-Specific Reduction Approach should be utilized in this case,
the ALJ now discusses the application of the formula to the rate case expenses. As explained in the
second paragraph of Section IV.C of this PFD, in order to take into account the $75,800 of estimated
expenses for Cities, the ALJ recommends increasing ETI's overall rate case expenses request to
$8,828,345.           From that amount, the ALJ subtracts the specific disallowances discussed in
Section IV.C.1 of this PFD:

            •         $40 for laundry service; and
            •         $480 lodging.

 This leaves a balance of $8,619,851. When that balance is reduced by 14.8%, the remainder is
 $7,344,113. It is this amount of rate case expenses that the AU recommends ETI be allowed to
 recover.

 D.         Recovery Method

            1.       Rate Case Expense Allocation and the Recovery Mechanism

            ETI proposes to allocate the approved rate case expenses among its retail classes using a
revenue allocator based upon ETI's pro forma Test Year revenues. Staff proposes, instead, that the
allocation be based on each retail rate classes's revenue requirement as approved by the Commission.
Staff argues that its approach would be more consistent with recent Commission precedent.133
Staff's specific recommendation is as follows:

                 [T]hat ETI's Schedule RCE-2 rates be set in the compliance phase of this
                 proceeding by multiplying the approved total amount by Staffs recommended
                 class allocator and dividing the resulting class share both by ETI's proposed
                 three-year amortization period and also by ETI's proposed class billing
                 determinants. 134

 PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

            Staff further recommends that ETI be required to track its collections on Rider RCE and

 terminate billing in the month in which the approved amount has been billed. 13s ETI does not object
 to Staff's approach to allocation, so long as the Commission's final order includes standard language
 allowing the company to seek recovery of any additional rate case expenses incurred after September
 30, 2012, in its subsequent rate case.136 Staff does not object to this request by ETL137 No other

 party objects to this approach, and the ALJ can find no reason to do so either.

            2.       ETI's Request to Earn a Return on the Unpaid Balance of Rate Case
                     Expenses

            ETI asks that it be allowed to recover its rate case expenses over three years, and that it be

allowed to recover a return on the unpaid balance of the expenses during that time.138 No party
objects to the three-year duration, but Staff opposes ETI's request to earn interest on its rate case
expenses, contending that the Commission has consistently refused the recovery of a return on
unamortized rate case expenses. 139 State Agencies agree with Staff. 141

           ETI responds by arguing that it is simply seeking to recover a necessary component of a cost
that is amortized over a period of time. According to ETI, the request for a return on the unpaid
balance merely represents the time value of money and the cost of the company's lost opportunity to
use the funds elsewhere.141 ETI cites to several Commission precedents in which a utility was
allowed to recover interest on various cost-of-service items, including Docket 39896, in which ETI
was allowed to earn a return on the unamortized balance of its Hurricane Rita Regulatory Asset over

 five years.'42 ETI does not, however, cite to any Commission precedent specifically authorizing a
 return on unpaid rate case expenses.

         Staff has the better argument. In Docket 30706, CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric
 (CenterPoint) sought to recover its rate case expenses over three years with a return on the unpaid
balance. The Commission rejected CenterPoint's request for a return, explicitly noting its "practice
of not permitting utilities to receive interest on unpaid rate-case expenses."143 Consistent with this
clear Commission precedent, the ALJ recommends that ETI's request to recover a return on the
unpaid balance of its rate case expenses during the three-year payoff period be denied.

                                          V.     CONCLUSION

         The ALJ recommends that the Commission implement the findings of the ALJ set forth in the
discussion above by adopting the following proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in the
Commission's final order.

       VI.     PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT, CONCLUSIONS OF LAW, AND
                             ORDERING PARAGRAPHS

A.       Findings of Fact

1.       Entergy Texas, Inc. (ETI or the Company) is an investor-owned electric utility with a retail
         service area located in southeastern Texas.

2.      On November 28, 2011, ETI filed an application (the ETI Application) requesting, among
        other things, approval of a proposed increase in annual base rate revenues of approximately
        $111.8 million over adjusted test year revenues, and a new rider for recovery of costs related
        to purchased power capacity.

3.    On November 29, 2011, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission or PUC)
      referred the ETI Application to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH) for a
      hearing and the matter was assigned docket number 39896 (Docket 39896).

4.     On April 4, 2012, in Docket 39896, the ALJs issued SOAH Order No. 13 severing rate case
       expense issues into a new docket, the case at issue here, Application ofEntergy Texas, Inc.
      for Rate Case Expenses Severed from PUC Docket No. 39896, Docket No. 40295.

5.    The hearing on the merits in Docket 39896 was held in April-May 2012.

6.    The Proposal for Decision ( PFD) in Docket 39896 was issued July 6, 2012.

7.    The Commission issued its final order in Docket 39896 on November 2, 2012.

8.    The hearing on the merits in the present docket, Docket 40295, was held on November 28,
      2012. The record closed on December 21, 2012, following the filing of post-hearing briefs.

9.    The following parties were granted intervenor status in this docket: Office of Public Utility
      Counsel (OPUC); the cities of Anahuac, Beaumont, Bridge City, Cleveland, Conroe, Dayton,
      Groves, Houston, Huntsville, Montgomery, Navasota, Nederland, Oak Ridge North, Orange,
      Pine Forest, Rose City, Pinehurst, Port Arthur, Port Neches, Shenandoah, Silsbee, Sour Lake,
      Splendora, Vidor, and West Orange (Cities); State Agencies (State Agencies); and Texas
      Industrial Energy Consumers (TIEC). The staff (Staff) of the Commission was also a
      participant in this docket.

10.   In Docket 39896, ETI adjusted its request for a proposed increase in annual base rate
      revenues to approximately $104.8 million over adjusted Test Year revenues.

11.   In the PFD in Docket 39896, the ALJs recommended an overall rate increase of
      $28.3 million.

12.   In its final order in Docket 39896, the Commission largely followed the recommendations
      contained in the PFD, but reduced ETI's overall rate increase to $27.7 million.

13.   In this docket, ETI seeks to recover $8.8 million in rate case expenses associated with
      Docket 39896.

14.   Of that total, $7.6 million was incurred by ETI and $1.2 million was incurred by Cities.

15.   Cities proved that, through August 31, 2012, they reasonably incurred rate case expenses of
      $1,125,768.61 in Docket 39896 and this docket.

16.   Cities reasonably estimated that their total rate case expenses in Docket 39896 and this
      docket after August 31, 2012 will total $75,800.

PUC DOCKET NO. 40295

17.   The amount of rate case expenses sought by ETI ($8.8 million) is high, both in absolute
      terms, and in relation to the rate increase ultimately obtained by ETI in Docket 39896
      ($27.7 million).

18.   Rate case expenses for ETI in the amount of $7,344,113 are reasonable and necessary and
      should be allowed as a cost or expense by the Company. This amount is calculated by
      reducing the requested amount by the amounts listed and for the reasons stated below:

      a.      $207,683 in depreciation of office equipment owned by Entergy Services, Inc. (ESI)
              (an affiliated company of ETI) and used by ESI employees for their work in
              Docket 39896 is not reasonable and is properly disallowed.

      b.     $281 for meals over $25 was erroneously sought by ETI, is not reasonable, and is
             properly disallowed.

      c.      $10 for clothing purchased by an attorney for ETI is not reasonable and is properly
             disallowed.

      d.     $40 for laundry charges by an attorney for ETI is not reasonable and is properly
             disallowed.

      e.     $480 for a lodging charge unsupported by receipts is not reasonable and is properly
             disallowed.

      f.     $1,275,738 attributable to unreasonable and overly aggressive arguments pursued by
             ETI in Docket 39896 related to financially-based incentive compensation and
             transmission equalization payments is properly disallowed.

B.    Conclusions of Law

      ETI is a "public utility" as that term is defined in the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA)
      § 11.004(1) and an "electric utility" as that term is defined in PURA § 31.002(6).

2.    The Commission exercises regulatory authority over ETI and jurisdiction over the subject
      matter of this application pursuant to PURA §§ 32.001, 32.101, 33.002, 33.051, and
      36.101-111.

3.    SOAH has jurisdiction over matters related to the conduct of the hearing and the preparation
      of a proposal for decision in this docket, pursuant to PURA § 14.053 and Tex. Gov't Code
      § 2003.049.

4.    This docket was processed in accordance with the requirements of PURA and the Texas
      Administrative Procedure Act, Tex. Gov't Code Chapter 2001.

5.     Pursuant to PURA § 33.051, the Commission has jurisdiction over an appeal from a
       municipality's rate proceeding.

6.     Cities bore the burden to prove that the rate case expenses they incurred were reasonable.
       PURA § 33.023.

7.     Cities are entitled to reimbursement by ETI for:

       a.      rate case expenses of $1,125,768.61 incurred in Docket 39896 and this docket
               through August 31, 2012; and

       b.      actual expenses incurred by Cities in Docket 39896 and this docket after August 31,
               2012, including any appeals, up to a maximum possible amount of $75,800.

8.     ETI bore the burden of proving that the rate case expenses it incurred in Docket 39896 were
       reasonable. PURA § 36.061(b).

9.     ETI proved the reasonableness of its rate case expenses in the amount of $7,344.113, and
       is entitled to claim that amount as a cost.

C.     Proposed Ordering Paragraphs

       In accordance with these findings of fact and conclusions of law, the Commission issues the
following orders:

1.     The Proposal for Decision prepared by the SOAH ALJs is adopted to the extent consistent
       with this Order.

2.     All other motions, requests for entry of specific findings of fact and conclusions of law, and
       any other requests for general or specific relief, if not expressly granted, are denied.

3.     Cities' and ETI's requests to recover rate case expenses are granted to the extent consistent
       with this Order.

  APPENDIX D

Statutes and Rules
Government Code

Sec. 2001.175. PROCEDURES FOR REVIEW UNDER SUBSTANTIAL
EVIDENCE RULE OR UNDEFINED SCOPE OF REVIEW.

     (a) The procedures of this section apply if the manner of review authorized by law for
the decision in a contested case that is the subject of complaint is other than by trial de
novo.
     (b) After service of the petition on a state agency and within the time permitted for
filing an answer or within additional time allowed by the court, the agency shall send to
the reviewing court the original or a certified copy of the entire record of the proceeding
under review. The record shall be filed with the clerk of the court. The record may be
shortened by stipulation of all parties to the review proceedings. The court may assess
additional costs against a party who unreasonably refuses to stipulate to limit the
record, unless the party is subject to a rule adopted under Section 2001.177 requiring
payment of all costs of record preparation. The court may require or permit later
corrections or additions to the record.
     (c) A party may apply to the court to present additional evidence. If the court is
satisfied that the additional evidence is material and that there were good reasons for
the failure to present it in the proceeding before the state agency, the court may order
that the additional evidence be taken before the agency on conditions determined by the
court. The agency may change its findings and decision by reason of the additional
evidence and shall file the additional evidence and any changes, new findings, or
decisions with the reviewing court.
     (d) The party seeking judicial review shall offer, and the reviewing court shall admit,
the state agency record into evidence as an exhibit.
(e) A court shall conduct the review sitting without a jury and is confined to the agency
record, except that the court may receive evidence of procedural irregularities alleged to
have occurred before the agency that are not reflected in the record.
Utilities Code

Sec. 31.001. LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; PURPOSE OF SUBTITLE.

    (a) This subtitle is enacted to protect the public interest inherent in the rates and
services of electric utilities. The purpose of this subtitle is to establish a comprehensive
and adequate regulatory system for electric utilities to assure rates, operations, and
services that are just and reasonable to the consumers and to the electric utilities.
    (b) Electric utilities are by definition monopolies in many of the services provided
and areas they serve. As a result, the normal forces of competition that regulate prices in
a free enterprise society do not always operate. Public agencies regulate electric utility
rates, operations, and services, except as otherwise provided by this subtitle.
    (c) The wholesale electric industry, through federal legislative, judicial, and
administrative actions, is becoming a more competitive industry that does not lend itself
to traditional electric utility regulatory rules, policies, and principles. As a result, the
public interest requires that rules, policies, and principles be formulated and applied to
protect the public interest in a more competitive marketplace. The development of a
competitive wholesale electric market that allows for increased participation by electric
utilities and certain nonutilities is in the public interest.

Sec. 36.002. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE.

An electric utility may not charge or receive a rate for utility service except as provided
by this title.

Sec. 36.051. ESTABLISHING OVERALL REVENUES.

In establishing an electric utility's rates, the regulatory authority shall establish the
utility's overall revenues at an amount that will permit the utility a reasonable
opportunity to earn a reasonable return on the utility's invested capital used and useful
in providing service to the public in excess of the utility's reasonable and necessary
operating expenses.
Sec. 36.058. CONSIDERATION OF PAYMENT TO AFFILIATE.

    (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), the regulatory authority may not allow as
capital cost or as expense a payment to an affiliate for:
        (1) the cost of a service, property, right, or other item; or
        (2) interest expense.
    (b) The regulatory authority may allow a payment described by Subsection (a) only
to the extent that the regulatory authority finds the payment is reasonable and necessary
for each item or class of items as determined by the commission.
    (c) A finding under Subsection (b) must include:
        (1) a specific finding of the reasonableness and necessity of each item or class of
    items allowed; and
        (2) a finding that the price to the electric utility is not higher than the prices
    charged by the supplying affiliate for the same item or class of items to:
             (A) its other affiliates or divisions; or
             (B) a nonaffiliated person within the same market area or having the same
        market conditions.
    (d) In making a finding regarding an affiliate transaction, the regulatory authority
shall:
        (1) determine the extent to which the conditions and circumstances of that
    transaction are reasonably comparable relative to quantity, terms, date of contract,
    and place of delivery; and
        (2) allow for appropriate differences based on that determination.
    (e) This section does not require a finding to be made before payments made by an
electric utility to an affiliate are included in the utility's charges to consumers if there is a
mechanism for making the charges subject to refund pending the making of the finding.

11                   •       affiliate costs charged to ETI are reasonable;

12                   •       the prices charged to ETI for each class of items are no
13                           higher than the prices charged to other affiliates, or to
14                           non-affiliates, for the same or similar class of items; and

15                   •       the allocated amounts represent the actual cost of services
16                           to ETI.

17           I also explain why the affiliate costs charged to ETI do not include

18           prohibited expenses and that the services provided to ETI by affiliates are

19           not duplicative of services provided internally by ETI or other affiliates.

 2            appropriateness of the billing methods that are used for the classes that

 3            they address.        Exhibits that show, in consistent formats, the affiliate

 4            expenses for each class accompany each witness's testimony.                   As the

15                    (c)      discuss the ESI service billings, including an overview
16                             of the billing process, a summary of ESI charges to

 1   a.     WHAT        EXHIBITS ARE YOU           INCLUDING AS       PART   OF YOUR

 2          TESTIMONY?

 3   A.     The exhibits that I am including as part of my testimony appear in the list

 4          following the Table of Contents. Because these exhibits are voluminous

 5          and include a number of spreadsheets, I have provided all of my exhibits,

 6          workpapers, and schedule information on the attached CD, labeled

 7          Exhibit SBT-F, rather than in paper form.

 8

 9   a.     DO YOU SPONSOR OR CO-SPONSOR ANY SCHEDULES IN THE

10          RATE FILING PACKAGE?

11   A.     Yes, I co-sponsor several Rate Filing Package ("RFP") schedules filed in

12          this proceeding.     I am co-sponsoring with other witnesses the following

13          schedules:

14                  •       Schedule G-6

15                  •       Schedule G-6.1

16                  •       Schedule G-6.2

17                  I am also co-sponsoring the following workpapers included in

18          support of Schedule G-6 of the RFP:

 3                     These schedules and supporting workpapers were prepared by me

 4            or under my direct supervision.

 5

 6    Q.      ON WHAT BASIS WERE THE SCHEDULES THAT YOU JUST

 7            MENTIONED PREPARED?

 8    A.      They were prepared from the books and records of ESI and its affiliates

 9            and are accurate summaries of the business records on which they are

10            based.     Deloitte & Touche LLP ("D&T"), the independent auditor for

11            Entergy Corporation and subsidiaries, has performed a review of the

12            historical financial information included in Schedules A through W

13            (excluding l and R) of the RFP, and have reported its findings in

14            Schedule S.

15

16    Q.      WHAT TEST YEAR IS ETI USING IN THIS FILING?

17    A.      The test year in this case is the twelve months ended June 30, 2011.

18

19    Q.      WHAT IS          DOLLAR AMOUNT

                                 INTHE              YEAR COST OF

21    A.      RFP Schedule G-6 shows that the Company's "Total ETI Adjusted"

22            amount for affiliate charges for the test year is $78,998,777.

 1                  Additionally, there are capitalized affiliate charges included in the

 2          ETI capital additions that the Company is seeking to place in rate base.

 3          These capital additions are addressed by other witnesses. ESI costs are

 4          directly charged or allocated to capital work orders in the same manner as

 5          costs are allocated to operations and maintenance expense-based project

 6          codes, the latter of which are discussed in detail in my testimony.

 7

 8   Q.     WHAT TYPE OF SYSTEM DO THE ENTERGY COMPANIES USE TO

 9          CAPTURE COSTS?

10   A.     The Entergy Companies use a project costing application (PowerPlant)

11          that provides a single point of entry for all PCs (that is, "project codes"). A

12          PC is an alpha numeric code that is assigned to individual projects

13          established within organizations (also referred to as "departments"). Each

14          PC is applicable to a specific assignment or activity. For example, a PC

15          would be assigned to a project to develop a specific software application,

16          a specific construction project, an employee training project, or any of a

17          myriad of activities that are necessary to run a utility.

 4

 5    Q.      PLEASE BRIEFLY DESCRIBE ENTERGY CORPORATION AND ITS

 6            WHOLLY-OWNED REGULATED SUBSIDIARIES.

 7    A.      Entergy Corporation owns all of the outstanding common stock of six retail

 8            Operating Company subsidiaries: ETI, EAi, EGSL, ELL, EMI, and ENOI.

 9            As of June 30, 2011, these Operating Companies provided electric service

10            to approximately 2.7 million customers in the states of Arkansas,

11            Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

12                    Entergy Corporation also owns all of the outstanding common stock

13            of System Energy, ESI, and EOI, which are regulated by the Nuclear

14            Regulatory Commission ("NRC") and/or the FERC. System Energy is a

15            nuclear generating company that sells the generating capacity and energy

16            from its 90% interest in the Grand Gulf nuclear plant at wholesale to its

17            only customers: EAi, ELL, EMI, and ENO!.         ESI is a service company

18            established to provide professional services primarily to Entergy's

19            regulated utilities or Operating Companies.

                           is also a            company, and was established to provide

 4   Q.     PLEASE PROVIDE AN OVERVIEW OF ENTERGY'S NON-REGULATED

 5          SUBSIDIARIES.

 6   A.     Entergy's non-regulated subsidiaries include, among others, EEi, Entergy

 7          Power, LLC ("EPL"), a wholesale power producer that is a subsidiary of

 8          Entergy Asset Management, Inc., and ENUC, a service company

 g          established to provide nuclear management and operations services to

10          Entergy's non-regulated nuclear plants. For a more detailed discussion of

11          Entergy's direct non-regulated affiliates, please refer to Exhibit SBT-2.

12

13   Q.     FROM WHICH OF THE ENTERGY SUBSIDIARIES DOES ETI RECEIVE

14          THE MOST SIGNIFICANT LEVEL OF AFFILIATE CHARGES?

15   A.     ETI receives the most significant level of affiliate charges from ESL              In

16          addition to affiliate charges from ESI, ETI receives charges from the other

17          Operating Companies, EOI, and from certain non-regulated affiliates.

20   A.     Centralization of activities through the creation of service companies

21          results in economies of scale and provides a pool of centralized expertise

22          for Entergy Corporation's regulated utility affiliates. As noted previously,

                                   ENUC are the four primary service companies. EOI

                                                                        f\   1 CL

 3            Exhibit SBT-2. I provide an overview of the services provided by ESL

 4

 5    Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE THE PURPOSE AND FUNCTION OF ESI.

 6    A.     ESI is authorized to conduct business as a service company by a

 7           temporary order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission

 8           ("SEC") in March 1963, which was made permanent in March 1965. ESI

 9           was formed as, and continues to be, primarily a service company for the

10           Operating Companies.         Costs incurred by ESI to provide services to all

11           regulated companies, including ETI, are billed at cost and do not produce

12           a profit. ESI also performs services for some of Entergy's non-regulated

13           companies through ESl's Service Agreement with EEi.            These services

14           are billed at cost plus 5%.            Exhibit SBT-2 provides a more detailed

15           discussion of ESl's purpose and function.

16

17    Q.     WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES DOES ESI PROVIDE?

18    A.     The services ESI provides to its affiliates include general executive,

19           management, advisory, administrative, human resources, accounting,

             legal, regulatory, and engineering services. These services are provided

21           in accordance with Service Agreements entered into by ESI and the

22           respective affiliates to which it provides services.            The Service

23           Agreements between ES! and its affiliates are included as Exhibits SBT-

2011 ETJ Rate Case

     2011 Rate

 1          4A through SBT-4P. These Service Agreements outline the general types

 2          of services that ESI provides.

 3                  ESI provides services according to functional groupings that reflect

 4          the way ESI is organized.         See Exhibits SBT-5 and SBT-6 for details,

 5          which I discuss in more detail later in my testimony. These groupings are

 6          reflected in the presentation of ETl's affiliate expenses in this filing and

 7          represent a compilation of the services that are provided to ETI by ESI.

 8                  The types of services outlined in the Service Agreements between

 9          ESI and the affiliates that it serves have been grouped in classes that are

10          discussed later in my testimony for the purpose of presentation in this

11          filing. Exhibit SBT-7 shows the affiliates that receive services from ESI.

12

13   Q.     IS THE SERVICE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ESI AND ETI DIFFERENT

14          IN SUBSTANCE FROM THE SERVICE AGREEMENTS ESI HAS WITH

15          THE OTHER AFFILIATED COMPANIES?

16   A.     No. The Service Agreements between ESI and each of the other Entergy

17          affiliates discussed previously are the same in substance. However, the

18          types and amounts of services vary among the companies.

19

20   Q.     ARE ALL NON-REGULATED ENTERGY COMPANIES                                    TO

21          SERVICE AGREEMENTS WITH ESI?

22   A.     No.    ESI does not directly provide services to all of the non-regulated

            affiliates.       however, does provide services directly to EPL and
      Entergy Texas. Inc.                                                         Page 13 of 98

 1             and has service agreements with these two non-regulated companies.

 2             When ESI provides services to EEi, the provision of these services is

 3             often the result of a request for services made by a non-regulated

 4             company to EEi. When that situation arises, the billing for that service is

 5             made by ESI to EEi and, in turn, EEi bills the non-regulated company for

 6             the service. As shown on Exhibit SBT-8, total ESI billings to EPL and EEi

 7             were .03% and 16.06%, respectively, of ESl's total billings to all affiliates

 8             during the test year. 7 As indicated in Exhibit SBT-9, total ESI billings to

 9             EPL declined from 2008 to 2010, while billings to EEi increased from 2008

10             to 2010.

11

12    Q.       WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY ESI TO THE NON-

13             REGULATED AFFILIATES THROUGH EEi?

14    A        Although ESI was formed to serve primarily Entergy Corporation's

15             regulated utility operations, there are three general categories of services

16             that ESI provides to the non-regulated companies through EEi. The first

17             type of services provided by ESI through EEi are those provided solely to

18             EEi or a non-regulated affiliate. For instance, ESI provides services with

19             regard to specific non-routine projects, tax                 legal issues. or

21            These costs are billed 100% to EEL

           Exhibit SBT-8 includes a schedule of ESI   to affiliates   the test year.

     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1                   The second type of services provided by ESI through EEi is the

 2          type of services that concurrently are used by both the regulated and

 3          non-regulated Entergy affiliates. For example, non-regulated companies

 4          participate in certain payroll, human resources, benefits, accounts

 5          payable, communications, and support services primarily provided to the

 6          regulated companies.        However, the level of such services may differ

 7          between the regulated and non-regulated affiliates.        For example, ESI

 8          processes all of the payroll transactions for the regulated affiliates,

 9          whereas ESI processes some, but not all, of the non-regulated companies'

10          payroll transactions. In this instance, the billing method for allocating the

11          costs assigned to the associated PC is calculated based on the number of

12          paychecks issued for those companies for which the services are

13          provided.

14                   The third type of ESI service provided and billed to EEi is for EEi's

15          allocable share of ESl's overhead and departmental costs. ESI, like any

16          corporation, incurs costs that are necessary to maintain and support its

17          existence. Therefore, ESl's expenses for its own overhead costs, such as

18          accounting, tax, legal, and other support, must be distributed reasonably

19          to all    the legal entities that ES! serves, including

20                   Further, each department (also referred to as "organization") within

21          ESI must incur costs that are not related to any specific service, but which

22          are costs that are attributable to a department. EEi is billed for a portion

            of these            These include items such as administrative labor costs

 5    Q.     DOES ESI PROVIDE ANY SERVICES TO THE REGULATED OR NON-

 6           REGULATED COMPANIES FREE OF CHARGE OR AT A DISCOUNT?

 7    A      No. ESI costs incurred to provide services to its regulated affiliates are

 8           billed at cost and to non-regulated affiliates at cost plus 5% (in accordance

 9           with a June 1999 SEC order).

12    Q.     ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE STANDARDS USED BY THE PUBLIC

13           UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS ("COMMISSION") TO DETERMINE

14           THE     REASONABLENESS                 OF   EXPENSES   ASSOCIATED        WITH

15           AFFILIATE       TRANSACTIONS            AND   THE   ELIGIBILITY   OF    SUCH

16           EXPENSES FOR INCLUSION IN COST OF SERVICE?

17    A      Yes. I am not an attorney, but part of my job responsibility is to be familiar

18           with the legal standards (rules, statutes, and court cases) governing

19           affiliate transactions and cost recovery            Commission proceedings.

     2011 Rate Case

 1            Commission of Texas v. Rio Grande Valley Gas Company set forth the

 2            affiliate standard applicable to Commission rate proceedings.                          This

 3            standard involves a four-part inquiry that addresses: (1) the necessity of

 4            the affiliate services on a class of items basis; (2) the reasonableness of

 5            the costs related to the class; (3) the compliance with the "no higher than"

 6            standard, which requires that the price for the same or similar services

 7            provided be no higher for one affiliate or non-affiliated person than for

 8            another affiliate or non-affiliated person; 9 and (4) whether the price

 9            charged reasonably approximates (or represents) the actual cost of the

10            services. I also explain that the price charged excludes costs that may not

11            be allowed for ratemaking purposes, and that charges are not duplicated.

12

13   a.       ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SUB-SECTION (f)

14            OF PURA SECTION 36.058?

15   A.       Yes.   It is my understanding that if the Commission determines that the

16            requested amount of an affiliate expense during the test period is

17            unreasonable, then, instead of disallowing the entire affiliate expense, the

18            Commission must determine the reasonable level of the affiliate expense

19            and                                          the utility's cost of service.

 2             GUIDANCE          REGARDING           HOW        TO      DEMONSTRATE              THE

 3             REASONABLENESS AND NECESSITY OF AFFILIATE CHARGES?

 4    A        No. ETI is required to use, and is using for this case, the Electric Utility

 5             Rate Filing Package for Generating Utilities (Sept. 9, 1992). This is the

 6             RFP for fully-bundled electric utilities such as ETI.             Section V of the

 7             Commission's RFP for unbundled transmission and distribution utilities, 10

 8             however, provides a set of "guiding principles" with illustrative types of

 9             evidence that may be used to support the affiliate charges, including

10             historical cost trends, process improvements, benchmarking, outsourcing,

11             third-party reviews, operating statistics, and other metrics. These guiding

12             principles are not, strictly speaking, applicable to this case because ETI is

13             not an "unbundled" transmission and distribution utility.               Nonetheless,

14             each Company affiliate cost witness has relied upon these guiding

15             principles to marshal the evidence to support his or her affiliate costs.

13          holding company registered under the Public Utility Holding Company Act

14          of 1935 ("PUHCA 1935") and, therefore, was subject to the oversight of

15          the SEC. ESI, which is a service company established in accordance with

16          PUHCA 1935, was subject to regulation by the SEC. Effective February 8,

17          2006, however, pursuant to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 ("EPAct 2005"),

18          PU HCA 1935 was repealed and the Public Utility Holding Company Act of

19          2005                        was enacted.   Section 1      of EPAct 2005

20          provides that:

 6    Q.     WHAT REGULATIONS HAS FERC ISSUED RELATED TO SERVICE

 7           COMPANIES TO REPLACE THE SEC REGULATIONS?

 8    A      On December 8, 2005, the FERC issued Order No. 667, which added Part

 9           366 to its regulations to implement the repeal of PUHCA 1935 and the

10           enactment of PUHCA 2005. Under the definitions provided in the PUHCA

11           2005 regulations, ESI is a "service company" in that it was organized

12           specifically for the purpose of providing non-power goods or services to a

13           "public utility" within the same holding company system.          Each of the

14           Operating Companies is a "public utility" as defined in the PUHCA 2005

15           regulations.    The PUHCA 2005 regulations also include Section 366.5,

16           which essentially mirrors the language of Section 1275(b) of the EPAct

17           2005, and adds that "[s]uch election to have the [FERC] review and

18           authorize cost allocations shall remain in effect until further [FERC] order."

19                   On October 19, 2006, the FERC issued Order No. 684, "Financial

20           Accounting, Reporting and Records Retention Requirements under the

     2011 Rate Case

 1                    On February 21, 2008, the FERC issued Order No. 707,

 2          "Cross-Subsidization Restrictions on Affiliate Transactions.            This order

 3          codified, among other things, the FERC requirements for the pricing of

 4          non-power goods and services provided by a service company and

 5          between other affiliates. On July 17, 2008, the FERC issued Order No.

 6          707-A, "Order on Rehearing."                This order granted rehearing and

 7          clarification, in part, of Order No. 707.

 8

 9   Q.     WHAT ARE THE FERC REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRICING OF NON-

10          POWER        GOODS AND           SERVICES       PROVIDED        BY A    SERVICE

11          COMPANY?

12   A      FERC Order Nos. 667 and 667 -A allowed traditional, centralized service

13          companies that previously used the SEC's "at cost" standard for the

14          pricing     of sales    of non-fuel,    non-power goods         and   services to

15          FERG-jurisdictional utilities to continue to use that "at cost" standard (the

16          "at cost" standard means, as I understand it, that cost of the services does

17          not include a component of profit.) Further, in its Order Nos. 667 and 667-

18          A, the FERG indicated that "at cost" pricing of non-power goods and

19                                    traditional, centralized service companies             as

20          ESI    to   associate    public utilities    is presumed   to    be    reasonable.

21          Specifically, in Order No. 667 the FERC stated:

22                    Fundamentally, we agree ... that centralized prov1s1on of
23                    accounting, human resources, legal, tax and other such

 1                  and economies of scale. Further we recognize that it is
 2                  frequently difficult to define the market value of the
 3                  specialized services provided by centralized service
 4                  companies.     Accordingly, the Commission will apply a
 5                  rebuttable presumption that costs incurred under "at cost"
 6                  pricing of such services are reasonable.

 7                  FERC Order Nos. 707 and 707-A prohibit, among other things, a

 8          franchised public utility with "captive customers" from receiving non-power

 9          goods and services from a centralized service company at a price above

10          cost    This "at cost" pricing requirement for service company billings is

11          consistent with previous FERC and SEC requirements.                ESI is in

12          compliance with the pricing requirements of FERC Order Nos. 707 and

13          707-A. ESl's compliance with the FERC's "at cost" requirement helps to

14          ensure that ESI affiliate costs charged to ETI are reasonable.

16   Q.     DID THE ENTERGY COMPANIES REQUEST A REVIEW OF COST

17          ALLOCATIONS BY FERC FOLLOWING THE ENACTMENT OF PUHCA

18          2005?

19   A.     Yes. On October 13, 2006, ES!, on behalf of the Operating Companies,

20          submitted a filing to the FERC requesting that FERC: (a) review and

21          accept the cost allocation methods included in the service agreements

23          Operating Companies; and (b) accept the existing service agreements

24          effective as of February 8, 2006. The filing was made pursuant to Section

25          1275(b) of the EPAct 2005, Section 205 of the Federal Power Act, and

 1          Section 366.5(a) and Part 35 of the FERC's regulations (18 C.F.R.). In

 2          electing to make this filing, ESI sought a determination by the FERG with

 3          respect to the appropriate allocation and pricing of services provided by

 4          ESI and EOI to the Operating Companies.

 5

 6   Q.     DID THE FERG ISSUE AN ORDER IN CONNECTION WITH THE

 7          ENTERGY COMPANIES' FILING IN THIS MATIER?

 8   A.     Yes. On December 12, 2006, the FERG issued an order accepting the

 9          service agreements and proposed methods of cost allocation effective

10          February 8, 2006, as requested in the Entergy Companies' filing. In that

11          order, the FERG agreed that Section 1275(b) of EPAct 2005 was intended

12          to vest authority in a federal regulator to help avoid disparate regulatory

13          treatments with respect to service company cost allocations. The FERG

14          order accepting ESl's and EOl's service company cost allocation request

15          is included as Exhibit SBT-1 OA.

16

17   Q.     DOES PUHCA 2005 CONTAIN ANY PROCEDURES FOR CHANGING

18          COST ALLOCATIONS REVIEWED AND ACCEPTED BY THE FERG?

19          No.              2005 does         separately specify procedures for changing

20          cost allocations reviewed and accepted by the              . However, in its

21          December 12, 2006 order discussed above, the FERG explained that any

22          changes to a FERG-filed rate, including the cost allocation provisions,

 4   Q.     HAVE THERE BEEN ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE ENTERGY

 5          COMPANIES' COST ALLOCATION FORMULAS DURING THE TEST

 6          YEAR?

 7   A      Yes. On October 28, 2010, ESI, on behalf of the Operating Companies,

 8          submitted a filing to the FERG requesting that FERG review and accept a

 9          proposed new cost allocation formula based on the historical usage of

10          servers, platforms, and mainframes. On December 20, 2010, the FERG

11          issued an order accepting ESl's October 28, 2010 cost allocation request.

12          The FERG order accepting ESl's cost allocation request is included as

17   A.     Yes. The FERG, in its oversight role, is authorized to conduct periodic

18          audits of service company transactions.           The FERG also requires that

 3   A.     Yes. As noted above, the FERC, under the authority of the Public Utility

 4          Holding Company Act of 2005, is authorized to periodically conduct audits

 5          of service companies.           These service company audits include an

 6          examination       of     each     service   companies'     compliance      with

 7          cross-subsidization restrictions on affiliate transactions at 18 C.F.R. Part

 8          35, accounting, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements at 18 C.F.R.

 9          Part 366, compliance with the Uniform System of Accounts ("USofA") for

11          records requirements for service companies at 18 C.F.R. Part 368. During

12          the most recent FERC audit of Entergy Corporation's four service

13          companies, including ESI, covering the period January 2006 through

14          December 2008, the FERC tested for compliance with the aforementioned

15          regulations by conducting tests of the service companies' cost allocations

16          and the charges billed by the service companies. The FERC reviewed

17          and tested the supporting details for the service companies' cost allocation

18          methodologies, tested the centralized service companies' costs and

 9

20          corresponding associated franchised public utilities' accounting for the

 5      Q.       WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION OF YOUR TESTIMONY?

 6     A.        This section of my testimony provides an overview of how the Company's

 7               affiliate transaction case is organized to meet the affiliate standard in

 8               Texas, including: an explanation of why the case is organized in this

 9               manner; an explanation of how the testimony and exhibits of each of the

10               affiliate witnesses link to G-6 Schedules; and an explanation of how the

11               testimony, exhibits and G-6 Schedules relate to the PCs that I describe in

12               more detail later in my testimony.

13

14      Q.       HOW DO THE AFFILIATE COSTS PRESENTED IN THIS CASE RELATE

15               TO THE RATES THE COMPANY SEEKS TO ESTABLISH IN THIS

16               CASE?

17     A         The Company's cost of providing services includes both costs incurred

18               directly by the Company and affiliate charges. As discussed earlier, the

19               Commission determines the eligibility          affiliate costs                rates

                 based on the standards               by law.          Company has presented its

21               affiliate information in a manner that will permit the Commission to review

 1          its affiliate costs for compliance with the affiliate standard. The affiliate

 2          costs are a component of the rates the Company is requesting to

 3          implement in this docket.

 4

 5   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE THE COMPANY'S ORGANIZATION OF ITS

 6          AFFILIATE CASE.

 7   A.     The Company's affiliate case is organized to correspond to the way in

 8          which ETI and ESI are organized and managed. ESl's business is divided

 9          into two basic functional groupings or "families." These families are (1)

10          Corporate Support, and (2) Operations.

11

12   Q.     ARE THE TWO FAMILIES FURTHER BROKEN DOWN INTO SMALLER

13          GROUPINGS?

14   A.     Yes. Within each of these families, we have more discrete functions or

15          service categories. Thus, for example, as shown in Exhibit SBT-6, entitled

16          "Families and Functions," the "Operations" family (shorthand for Utility

17          Operations Group) is comprised of traditional utility functions such as

18          Generation, Transmission, Distribution, and Customer Service.

      2011 Rate Case

 1    Q.     ARE THESE "FUNCTIONS" THE "CLASSES" THAT THE COMPANY

 2           HAS IDENTIFIED FOR PURPOSES OF MEETING THE AFFILIATE

 3           STANDARD IN PURA, WHICH REQUIRES COSTS TO BE ORGANIZED

 4           ON AN ITEM OR CLASS OF ITEMS BASIS?

 5    A      Not necessarily. In some cases, there is only one class within a function.

 6           But the functions are not always the classes the Company proposes for

 7           purposes of proving its compliance with the affiliate standard set forth in

 8           PURA The Company determined that some of these functions may be

 9           too broad for purposes of meeting the affiliate standard and may not

10           permit the detailed review of affiliate transactions envisioned by the

11           Commission. Further, the Company wanted to ensure that the witnesses

12           who explain the affiliate services provided to ETI have the requisite degree

13           of accountability and technical knowledge to provide sufficient detailed

14           information concerning each class of services (that is "class of items") that

15           they sponsor.

16

17    Q.     HOW DID THE COMPANY SEPARATE THESE FUNCTIONS INTO

18           CLASSES         OF     SERVICES        FOR   PURPOSES      OF     PROVING

19           COMPLIANCE WITH THE                      STANDARD?

                     Company and          focused on the way they organize        operate

21           their businesses in order to identify classes of services for purposes of

22           meeting the affiliate standard. Thus, the Company looked at the various

23           departments that compose each                and grouped these departments

     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1           into classes based on factors such as the extent to which the departments

 2           provided interrelated services or had some other logical connection to

 3           each other.      For example, departments such as accounts payable and

 4           cash operations, payroll, fixed asset operations, revenue operations,

 5           external reporting, and Affiliate Accounting and Allocations were included

 6           in the Financial Services Class of services.                A similar process was

 7           followed for identifying classes within each of the functions shown on

 8            Exhibit SBT-5.      Additionally, some cost items were grouped based on

 9            resource code instead of department code 12 (examples of these include

10            depreciation and income taxes) and based on physical location for Nelson

11           6 co-owner costs.

12

13   Q.       HOW MANY CLASSES OF AFFILIATE CHARGES ARE THERE IN THE

14            COMPANY'S CASE, AND WHO SPONSORS THEM?

15   A.       Affiliate services provided to ETI are grouped into 25 classes of items in

16            the Company's filing. Exhibit SBT-5 shows the functions composing each

17            family as well as the classes that make up each function. For example,

18            Exhibit SBT-5 shows that there are six functions within the Corporate

19                                                         are the classes that compose

20           function and the name of the witness who sponsors that affiliate class of

     12
          A resource code indicates the type of costs used or consumed in the conduct of work
          activities, while a department code indicates which organization provides the services (and
          budgets, captures and reports on the related costs for those

 1              services. This exhibit also shows the Total ETI Adjusted amount for each

 2              class of affiliate services.    For example, the Financial Services class,

 3              which is sponsored by Company witness Donna S. Doucet, is in the

 4              Finance function.     This exhibit does not include the level of test year

 5              affiliate charges for capital additions.

 6

 7    Q.        WHAT       INFORMATION         DOES    EACH    WITNESS     PROVIDE      WITH

 8              RESPECT TO THE CLASSES OF SERVICES THAT HE OR SHE

 9              SPONSORS?

10    A         Although the testimony of each of the affiliate witnesses varies depending

11              on subject matter, there are certain common elements that I will explain.

12              Each witness who sponsors a class of services describes why those

13              services are necessary; explains why the costs of those services are

14              reasonable; discusses the billing methods used to ensure that prices paid

15              by ETI are no higher than the prices paid by other Entergy affiliates for the

16              same or similar services; and also explains that the costs paid by ETI

17              represent the actual costs of the services provided.        In addition, each

18              affiliate witness has included as exhibits to his or her testimony a

19              schematic        highlights by family and

                      or    is supporting,   e., an        identical   my Exhibits SBT-5

     2011 Rate Case

 1   Q.      ARE THERE ANY OTHER EXHIBITS THAT ARE COMMON TO ALL

 2           AFFILIATE WITNESSES?

 3   A.       Yes. Each affiliate witness sponsors key affiliate cost-related exhibits that

 4            are designated by letters (i.e., A, B, C, D) instead of numbers. For ease of

 5            reference, I will refer to them as Exhibits A, B, C, and D. For example, the

 6            affiliate cost exhibits supporting Company witness Doucet's testimony are

 7            labeled Exhibits DSD-A, DSD-B, DSD-C, and DSD-D.                  These exhibits

 8           present the cost of affiliate services in various levels of detail for each

 9            class of services included in Schedule G-6 of the Company's Application.

10            For each class of services sponsored by the witness, Exhibits A, B and C

11            include all affiliate billings that originate at ESI, billings to ETI from the

12           other Operating Companies (EAi, EGSL, ELL, EMI, or ENOI), and billings

13           to ETI from other affiliates.      In addition, Exhibit D contains information

14           about test year pro forma adjustments, if any, affecting each class of

15           services sponsored by the witness. For the convenience of the parties, I

16           have included my Exhibits SBT-A, SBT-B, SBT-C, and SBT-D, which are

17           compilations of all witnesses' Exhibits A, B, C, and D, respectively. My

18           Exhibit SBT-D differs slightly from the witnesses' Exhibit D in that it

 1   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE THE INFORMATION THAT IS CONTAINED IN

 2          EXHIBIT A

 3   A      Exhibit A is entitled, "Affiliate Billings -       by Witness, Class and

 4          Department." Exhibit A shows for each class of services sponsored by

 5          that witness the amounts by department for the test year. The information

 6          presented in Exhibit A permits the reviewer to examine which departments

 7          had charges within each class of services and the amounts of test year

 8          costs for each department within the class.

 9

10   Q.     PLEASE SUMMARIZE HOW TO CALCULATE THE TEST YEAR

11          AMOUNT FOR EACH CLASS OF SERVICES DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT A

12          OF EACH WITNESS' TESTIMONY.

13   A      To calculate the test year amount for a class of service described in

14          Exhibit A, the reviewer need only add Column "E" (ETI Per Books) +

15          Column "F" (Exclusions) + Column "G" (Pro Forma Amount) to arrive at

16          the Total ETI Adjusted amount shown in Column "H," which is the amount,

17          by billing entity, included in the G-6 workpapers for this class of services.

21          AND D?

22   A.     Yes. Exhibit SBT-11, entitled "Affiliate Billing Exclusions by Class," shows

23              function and by class all exclusions from
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                   Page 32 of 98

 1          expenses for the Corporate Support family and the Operations family. As

 2          shown in this exhibit, test year exclusions totaled           approximately

 3          $17.7 million.     Exclusions include amounts charged to FERC USofA

 4          capital accounts (FERC accounts 107 to 118); other balance sheet

 5          accounts (FERC accounts 152 to 242); and below the line accounts

 6          (FERC accounts 408202 to 426500).          With the exception of amounts

 7          charged to certain capital accounts, these exclusions are made in order to

 8          arrive at a total cost amount that does not include costs that may not be

 9          recovered in rates, such as expenses prohibited from being included in

10          rates by Texas law. Amounts included in the exclusions category do not

11          represent pro forma adjustments.

12

13   Q.     HAVE YOU PREPARED AN EXHIBIT TO ASSIST THE REVIEWER IN

14          TRACKING THE DATA PRESENTED IN EXHIBIT A?

15   A.     Yes. I have prepared Exhibit SBT-A.1 for that purpose. This "roadmap"

16          exhibit illustrates in a brief and easily understandable way, what specific

17          information is provided in each column of Exhibit A.

21   A.     Exhibit B is entitled, "Affiliate Billings - by Witness, Class and Project."

22          Exhibit B shows for each class of services sponsored by that witness the

                                         (also         as a        for   test       The

     2011 Rate Case

 1          information presented in Exhibit B permits the reviewer to examine the

 2          following: which PCs were charged within each class of services; which

 3          billing method was used; and the amounts included in test year costs for

 4          each PC within the class. From here, the reviewer can, in turn, refer to the

 5          Project Summaries included as Exhibit SBT-E for additional detail

 6          concerning each PC included in each class within the Company's filing. I

 7          discuss the information presented in the Project Summaries in greater

 8          detail later in my testimony.

 9

10   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE EXHIBIT C.

11   A      Exhibit C, which is entitled "Affiliate Billings -          by Witness, Class,

12          Department and Project," is a combination of Exhibits A and B.              This

13          additional sort of the data, by department and project, allows the reviewer

14          to determine which department charged a particular PC for the particular

15          services. For example, Company witness Doucet's Exhibit DSD-C allows

16          the reviewer to trace a total of $26,678 Total ETI Adjusted test year

17          amount, including proforma adjustments, to the Financial Services Class

18          billings to project code "F3PPF72700.       Exhibit DSD-C further shows that

19          these services were                    by

 1   a.     PLEASE DESCRIBE EXHIBIT D.

 2   A.     Exhibit D, entitled "Affiliate Billings - Pro Forma Summary - by Witness,

 3          Class and Pro Forma," contains information about test year pro forma

 4          adjustments affecting the class or classes that a particular Company

 5          witness sponsors. The witnesses' Exhibit D contains a brief description of

 6          the nature of the pro forma adjustment, assigns the adjustment an

 7          identifying number, shows the billing entity of the transaction, shows which

 8          witness supports the pro forma, and presents the amount of the pro forma

 g          that is included in the "Total" column of Schedule G-6.2. In addition to the

10          items described above, Exhibit SBT-D also contains the FERC account for

11          each pro-forma adjustment.

12

13   Q.     HAVE YOU PREPARED ANY DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE PRO

14          FORMA ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDED IN EXHIBIT SBT-D?

15   A.     Yes.       Exhibit SBT-12 includes summary information regarding each pro

16          forma adjustment included in Schedule G-6.2. This Exhibit includes the

17          pro forma number, title, description, ETI pro forma amount, and supporting

18          witness. The main purpose of this exhibit is to accumulate in one place all

19          originating                       adjustments to    test year,

20          additional supporting detail for why the pro forma was made.

21                     Also,   workpapers    WP/SBT-2a    through   WP/SBT-2s     include

 4   Q.     HAVE YOU PREPARED ANY ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS THAT WILL

 5          ASSIST REVIEWERS              IN   UNDERSTANDING THE            INFORMATION

 6          CONTAINED IN EACH COLUMN OF EXHIBITS B THROUGH D?

 7   A      Yes. Although the Company believes that the level of detail that it has

 8          provided in this filing is more than sufficient to enable the Commission to

 9          evaluate the Company's affiliate costs, the Company recognizes that it

10          may be difficult for a reviewer to recall the type of information that is

11          provided in each column of each of these exhibits. For this reason, I have

12          included in my testimony as Exhibits SBT-B.1, SBT-C.1, and SBT-D.1

13          "roadmaps" that show what question is answered by each column in each

14          exhibit, similar to "roadmap" Exhibit SBT-A.1 that I described earlier.

15

16   Q.     ARE YOU SPONSORING ALL COSTS CONTAINED IN EXHIBITS

17          SBT-A, SBT-B, SBT-C, AND SBT-D?

18   A      No. My Exhibits SBT-A SBT-8, SBT-C, and SBT-D are an aggregation of

19          all the Exhibits         C, and D      each affiliate witness

21          and D to their direct testimony, it may be more convenient for the reviewer

22          to have a single copy of all these exhibits in one place to facilitate review

 7   Q.     HAVE YOU PREPARED ADDITIONAL WORKPAPERS SUPPORTING

 8          EACH OF THE G-6 SCHEDULES?

 9   A.     Yes. I have prepared six different sorts of the G-6 schedules, which are in

10          addition to the required FERG account presentation contained in

11          Schedules G-6, G-6.1 and G-6.2.            The Company is providing this

12          information in its direct filing in this case to facilitate an efficient, timely

13          review of the Company's affiliate case.

14

15   Q.     HAS THE COMPANY MADE THIS INFORMATION AVAILABLE IN

16          ELECTRONIC FORM?

17   A.     Yes. As I explained above, Exhibit SBT-F is a compact disc that includes

18          this information. The Company has invoked Microsoft Excel's "Auto Filter"

 1   Q.     PLEASE       DESCRIBE       THE        VARIOUS   WORKPAPERS           THAT THE

 2          COMPANY HAS PREPARED IN CONNECTION WITH ITS SCHEDULES

 3          G-6, G-6.1, AND G-6.2.

 4   A.     There are six variations of Schedules G-6, G-6.1, and G-6.2 included in

 5          the workpapers to the G-6 schedules. They are:

 6                  1)      Affiliate billings by billing entity to ETI by billing method and
 7                          project code (WP/G-6 (set 1); WP/G-6.1 (set 1); and WP/G-

 9                  2)      Affiliate billings by billing entity to ETI by FERG account and
10                          class (WP/G-6 (set 2); WP/G-6.1 (set 2); and WP/G-6.2 (set
11                          2));

12                  3)      Affiliate billings by billing entity to ETI by class, project code,
13                          and billing method (WP/G-6 (set 3); WP/G-6.1 (set 3); and
14                          WP/G-6.2 (set 3));

15                  4)      Affiliate billings by billing entity to ETI by class, by FERG

25   Q      WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXHIBITS                                  AND D

26

27   A.     The G-6 schedules present the Company's request for all affiliate billings,

28          for the test year, by FERG account and billing entity, as follows:

29                  1)     Schedule G-6 -          Total ETI Adjusted amount of affiliate
                           billings,
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                     Page 38 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1                  2)      Schedule G-6.1 - total per books affiliate billings (after
 2                          exclusions), and

 3                  3)      Schedule G-6.2 - proforma adjustments to affiliate billings.

 4                  The Commission's RFP requires the G-6 schedules to be

 5          presented by FERC account

 6                  Exhibits A, B, and C present the same amounts that are in the

 7          Schedules G-6, G-6.1, and G-6.2, but in various sorts of detail within each

 8          class arranged in a way so that the witnesses can further show that the

 9          costs meet the Commission's affiliate standards. As stated previously, the

10          Company has sorted the amounts by department, by project code, and by

11          both department and project code in Exhibits A, B, and C, respectively.

12          Exhibit D presents for each class of services additional detail on the pro

13          forma adjustments included in Schedule G-6.2.           With the use of the

14          workpaper set WP/G-6 (set 4), the reviewer can follow amounts in Exhibits

15          A through D through to the G-6 schedules, which are presented in the

16          required FERC account format. Thus, for example, the reviewer can trace

17          cost data related to a particular class to a FERC account, to a project

18          code, and to a billing method by referring to WP/G-6 (set 4). Similarly, if a

19                                  determine what other types of projects or activities

            were                     a                                       a

21          witness's Exhibit C, the reviewer need only turn to WP/G-6 (set 1) in order

22          to ascertain this information. I have prepared a chart illustrating how the

            affiliate cost information fits together (see Exhibit SBT-13).
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                       Page 39 of 98

     2011 Rate Case

 1   Q.     PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW ONE WOULD GET FROM YOUR COST

 2          EXHIBITS TO THE G-6 SCHEDULES.

 3   A.     Note that the same process I will describe below can be used for any of

 4          the Exhibits A through C.         I will use as an example my Depreciation

 5          Affiliate Class, which can be found on Exhibit SBT-A. To trace the data

 6          into the G-6 schedules, one would first need to obtain the subtotals of the

 7          class by billing entity. The subtotal in Column H (Total ETI Adjusted) of

 8          $1,777,986 for billing entity ESI agrees with the workpaper set WP/G-6

 9          (set 4), which is sorted by billing entity, class, FERC account, project

10          code, and billing method.        The Depreciation Class is billed to various

11          FERC accounts, as seen on WP/G-6 (set 4).                Each of these FERC

12          account totals for the Depreciation Class can be traced into workpaper set

13          WP/G-6 (set 2), which is sorted by billing entity, FERC account and then

14          by class. On WP/G-6 (set 2), each FERC account is subtotaled.

15

16   Q.     HOW COULD A REVIEWER OBTAIN MORE DETAILED INFORMATION

17          ABOUT A PARTICULAR PROJECT CODE?

18   A.     For each project code, a reviewer could "drill down" to a very detailed level

19                                       in the Project

                            Project Summaries,            are supported by al! witnesses of

21          classes that charged to a particular project code, are arranged in project

22          code order and are indexed by page number.

     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1   Q.     WHAT INFORMATION IS INCLUDED IN EACH PROJECT SUMMARY?

 2   A.     Each Project Summary shows the following information for each project

 3          code:

 4                  •       test year billings to ETI by FERG account;

 5                  •       test year billings to ETI by class of services;

 6                  •       a statement of the purpose of the project code;

 7                  •       the primary activities encompassed by the project code;

 8                  •       the products or deliverables resulting from the project code;
 9                          and

10                  •       the billing method associated with the project code and a
11                          justification for that billing method.

12

13   Q.     HOW ELSE CAN THE PROJECT SUMMARIES BE USED AS A TOOL

14          FOR REVIEWING AFFILIATE DATA?

15   A.     The Project Summaries can be used to trace project code data from the

16          Exhibits Band C into the G-6 Schedules. For example, Financial Services

17          Class costs related to Project Code F3PPF72700, entitled "Cognos

18          Reporting Support," can be found on Exhibit SBT-8.                 The Total ETI

19          Adjusted amount for the Financial Services Class for this project is

20          $26,678 for the test year. From Exhibit B, one can obtain a good deal of

21          information about the services provided -              billing method,

22          description, Total ETI Adjusted amount, etc. For example, Billing Method

23          GENLEDAL is applied to Project Code F3PPF72700.                   If more detail is

            required to verify why Billing Method GENLEDAL is appropriate, or which

     2011 Rate Case

 1          other classes may have charged this project, or the types of activities

 2          being provided, one could go to the index of Project Summaries included

 3          with Exhibit SBT-E and locate the page number for the Project Summary

 4          for Project Code F3PPF72700 (page 961 of Exhibit SBT-E). The FERC

 5          account amounts for this PC can be traced into workpaper set 5 - billings

 6          by FERC account, project code, and billing method (WP/G-6 (set 5),

 7          WP/G-6. 1 (set 5), and WP/G-6.2 (set 5)). On WP/G-6 (set 5), each FERC

 8          account is subtotaled by billing entity, and this subtotal will agree to

 9          Schedule G-6 for that FERC account.

11                        VI.     THE AFFILIATE BILLING PROCESS

12   Q.     PLEASE        DESCRIBE        THE      AFFILIATE    TRANSACTIONS             THAT

13          PRIMARILY AFFECT ETl'S COST OF SERVICE IN THiS APPLICATION.

14   A.     Two categories of affiliate costs affected ETl's cost of service for the test

15          year:

16                  •       the cost of the services ESI provides that are directly billed
17                          or allocated to ETI; and

18                  •       charges from other Operating Companies and from ETl's
19                          other affiliates that are directly billed to for services
20                          rendered.

21

22          ETl's cost of service.         To understand these categories of affiliate

23          transactions, it is important to understand the affiliate billing process.

 1   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE THE                    PROCESS USED       BY THE     ENTERGY

 2          COMPANIES TO CHARGE AFFILIATES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED.

 3   A.     ESI and the other Entergy-affiliated companies use three mechanisms to

 4          bill affiliates for services rendered: ( 1) project billings; (2) loaned resource

 5          billings; and (3) co-owner billings. These mechanisms are included in the

 6          affiliate billing process ("billing process"). Project billings are transactions

 7          billed to affiliates for services rendered using PCs to determine how costs

 8          should be billed to affiliates.        Loaned resource billings are transactions

 9          that bill charges directly to the Department and/or Business Unit that is the

10          recipient of the services provided.           Loaned resource billings include

11          charges for the payroll applicable to "loaned" employees (for example line

12          crews from one Operating Company sent to assist another Operating

13          Company in storm restoration), transportation, and materials and supplies.

14          Co-owner billings include costs incurred by one affiliate for the operation

15          and maintenance of a jointly-owned plant, and subsequently transferred to

16          another affiliate based on their ownership.         During the test year, EGSL

17          transferred costs to ETI related to the jointly-owned Nelson 6 plant using

18          the co-owner billing process. The co-owner billing process and the Nelson

 9          6           are              more             the

20          witness Winfred W. Garrison. Service companies such as ESI typically bill

21          via project billings. Other affiliates can only use loaned resource billings

22          or co-owner billings when billing or transferring costs to an affiliate.

 1   Q.     PLEASE        SUMMARIZE         THE    CONTROLS      THAT     HAVE       BEEN

 2          ESTABLISHED TO HELP ENSURE THAT BILLINGS TO AFFILIATES

 3          PROPERLY REFLECT THE ACTUAL COST OF AN ITEM OR SERVICE.

 4   A      There are several controls in place to help ensure that billings to affiliates

 5          represent the actual costs of items or services provided to such affiliates.

 6          These process controls include:

 7                  •       Multiple Approvals of PCs

 8                  •       Approval of Loaned Resource Billing Transactions

 g                  •       Co-owner Allocation Rules

 9          SBT-15: "AFFILIATE BILLING PROCESS DISCUSSION."

10   A.     As I discussed earlier, ESI and the other Entergy-affiliated companies use

11          three mechanisms to bill affiliates for services rendered: (1) project

12          billings; (2) loaned resource billings; and (3) co-owner billings.       These

13          mechanisms are included in the affiliate biliing process, which is discussed

14          in detail in my Exhibit SBT-15, "Affiliate Billing Process Discussion." For

15          further clarification, I have included nine attachments to Exhibit SBT-15:

 8   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE THE ESI BILLING PROCESS.

 9   A      As shown in Attachment 2 to Exhibit SBT-15, the vast majority of ESl's

10          billings to ET! are project billings. In order to bill an affiliate for services

11          provided via a project billing, a transaction must have an assigned PC.

12          Each PC is assigned a single billing method that determines how costs

13          captured under the PC will be distributed. The billing method results in

14          either a "direct" billing (billed 100% to one affiliate) or an "allocation" to

15          multiple affiliates.    When services are provided to multiple affiliates,

16          charges for services rendered by ES! are allocated using billing methods

17          based on FERG-accepted formulae.

18

19   Q.     WHEN IS THE PROJECT CODE ASSIGNED TO A TRANSACTION?

20   A.     The PC is assigned at the time the transaction is entered into a source

21          system                                            Payable).

22          submitting the charge is most familiar with the charge, and is responsible

23          for applying the correct PC to the transaction. In addition, the employee's

 1          budget coordinator may assist in determining the correct PC for a

 2          specific cost.

 3                  In addition, several allocations, such as payroll and other loaders,

 4          will create additional transactions. They will typically follow the PCs used

 5          on the source transactions for which they are based.

 6

 7   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE THE TIME ENTRY SYSTEMS USED BY THE

 8          ENTERGY COMPANIES.

 9   A.     The Entergy Companies use both the PeopleSoft Time & Labor system

10          and the ESTER system for time entry.            ESTER is the acronym for

11          "Entergy's System for Time Entry and Reporting."         Both systems are

12          electronic time and attendance systems and are an important part of the

13          Entergy Companies' cost and service tracking process.        Employees or

14          timekeepers are responsible for populating electronic timesheets each pay

15          period with appropriate accounting codes, including PCs, and actual hours

16          worked, among other things.            At the end of each pay period, the

17          employee's supervisor is responsible for reviewing and approving the

18          timesheet data.

 1   Q.     PLEASE SUMMARIZE THE CONTROLS THAT ARE IN PLACE TO

 2          ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION RECORDED ON

 3          THE TIMESHEETS IN TIME & LABOR AND ESTER.

 4   A      In addition to the individual responsibilities of employees and supervisors

 5          described above, both the Time & Labor and ESTER systems have been

 6          programmed with certain validation functionality (e.g.,          validity and

 7          compatibility edits for the accounting code input data) and notification

 8          procedures to alert the employee when accounting code values, including

 9          PCs, are invalid, incompatible, or incomplete.     Training on the Time &

10          Labor and ESTER systems is conducted within each department.

11          Assistance is also available through the payroll administrator and through

12          the Financial Processes Help Desk, also referred to as the Financial

13          Operations Center ("FOG") Heip Desk.

14                  Each ESI employee is ultimately responsible for charging the costs

15          that he or she incurs to the appropriate PC, and thus appropriately billing

16          the companies receiving the services. As a guide, ESI Time and Expense

17          Training materials are posted on the Affiliate Accounting and Allocations

18          section of the Entergy Companies' internal web. All ESI employees are

19          required to acknowledge their                                          on an

20          annual basis.      This training stresses the importance of choosing the

21          correct PC.     It also discusses the role of billing methods in billing the

22          appropriate companies for services rendered, and emphasizes that direct

23          billing is preferred over allocating charges         possible.

 1          also reviews how to determine which PC should be used for specific

 2          services. These ESI Time and Expense Training materials are included

 3          as Exhibit SBT-16.

 4                  As discussed earlier in my testimony, and as discussed in

 5          Attachment 8 of Exhibit SBT-15, there are several other controls in place

 6          to ensure that billings to affiliates properly reflect the actual cost of an item

 7          or service.

 8

 9   Q.     HOW ARE PROJECT CODES INITIATED AND MADE AVAILABLE FOR

10          USE?

11   A      As I previously mentioned, the Entergy Companies use a project costing

12          application (PowerPlant) that provides a single point of entry for all PCs.

13          When a particular department determines that a new project or service is

14          being initiated, PowerPlant is used by that department to set up the PC.

15          During set-up, the preparer of the PC request enters several elements to

16          establish a PC. The preparer provides a descriptive title for the PC and

17          determines the appropriate billing method, which may directly bill one

18          affiliate or allocate costs to multiple affiliates.     The billing method is

20          The preparer also describes the scope of the PC, including its overall

21          purpose, the primary activities to be performed, the products or

22          deliverables expected, and a justification of the billing method selected.
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                        Page 49 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1          This scope, as well as all of the attributes associated with the PC, are

 2          stored in PowerPlant and can be referenced by users as needed.

 3                  Exhibit SBT-15 includes a more detailed discussion of the project

 4          billing process used by ESI. A breakdown of ESl's billings by project code

 5          is shown in Exhibit SBT-8.

 6

 7   Q.     DOES THE AFFILIATE BILLING PROCESS ENSURE THAT THE COSTS

 8          CHARGED BY ESI TO ETI ARE NO HIGHER THAN THE COSTS

 9          CHARGED TO OTHER AFFILIATES FOR THE SAME OR SIMILAR

10          ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES?

11   A.     Yes.    The following features of the billing system help ensure that ESI

12          does not charge a higher unit cost to ETI than to other affiliates for the

13          same or similar activities and services:

14                  1)      ESI always bills its services to regulated companies at cost,
15                          with no profit added, based on cost causation;

16                  2)      the billing method is selected based on the principle of cost
17                          causation to ensure that every affiliate that causes the cost
18                          in the PC is appropriately included in the allocation of costs;
19                          and

20                  3)     because each PC has only one billing method associated
21                         with it, all affiliates that receive the service are charged at
22                         the same unit rate for a given PC; therefore, the cost for a
                           given        of service is equal       all affiliates receiving the
                           service.

     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1   Q.     HOW DOES THE AFFILIATE BILLING PROCESS ENSURE THAT THE

 2          PRICE CHARGED BY ESI TO ETI REPRESENTS THE ACTUAL COST

 3          OF SERVICES?

 4   A.     With respect to direct billings, because ESI charges no more than actual

 5          costs for services provided to regulated companies, the price charged to

 6          ETI represents the actual cost With respect to allocated costs, because

 7          ESI charges the regulated companies at cost and utilizes the principle of

 8          cost causation in identifying a billing method, the unit price charged to ETI

 9          represents the actual cost.

10

11   Q.     DOES YOUR TESTIMONY INCLUDE A SUMMARY OF CONTROLS TO

12          ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE ESI AFFILIATE BILLINGS?

13   A.     Yes.    Those controls are generally summarized in the Affiliate Billing

14          Process section of my testimony.          In addition, these controls are

15          discussed in more detail in Attachment 8 of Exhibit SBT-15.

16

17   Q      ARE THERE ANY REVIEWS OF THE CONTROLS OVER THE

18          ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES AND THE RELATED COSTS THAT ESI

19

20          Yes. Internal Audit reviews the controls and performs tests of transactions

21          and balances related to affiliate billings.     Specifically related to the

22          implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Internal Audit reviews the
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                         Page 51 of 98

 1          with the affiliate billing process. Their review includes the related funding,

 2          allocations,     and    intercompany     account    reconciliation     processes

 3          associated with the overall affiliate billing process.

 4                    In addition, external reviews and audits of affiliate transactions and

 5          processes are conducted routinely.        For instance, D&T performs certain

 6          agreed upon procedures annually at the request of the Entergy

 7          Companies to satisfy a requirement included in an October 1992

 8          Settlement Agreement, as amended, between certain regulators and the

 9          Entergy Companies that pertains to billings from affiliates to EEi.          D&T

10          selects several intercompany transactions billed to EEi by affiliates to

11          ensure that they were billed in accordance with PUHCA 2005 affiliate

12          billing requirements.        O&T's "Independent Accountants' Report on

13          Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures" for the year ended December 31,

14          2010, is included as Attachment 9 to Exhibit SBT-15.

15                    In addition, the annual external audit of Entergy Corporation and its

16          subsidiaries' financial statements performed by O& T helps to detect

17          whether the inter-company accounts and billing processes are producing

18          any material misstatements in the financial statements. The Sarbanes-

19                       also requires       an              auditor attest

            of the                           disclosure regarding the effectiveness         its

21          internal controls.     In this connection, D&T also reviews risks, control

22          activities, and testing of control activities associated with the affiliate

23          billing

 1                  Further, in its oversight role under PUHCA 2005, the FERC is

 2           authorized to conduct audits of Entergy service company transactions. As

 3           discussed earlier in my testimony, the most recent FERC audit of the four

4            service companies, including ESI, covered the period January 2006

 5           through December 2008.

 6

 7   Q.      DO YOU HAVE ANY INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION THAT THE

 8           CONTROLS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY?

 9   A.      Yes.       PwC performed an independent attestation examination of

10           management's assertion on the presentation of costs billed by ESI and

11           other Entergy affiliates to ETI for the twelve-months ended June 30,

12           2011. 15    PwC's attestation examination included, among other things,

13           ( 1) consideration of controls surrounding the affiliate billing process;

14           (2) documentation included in the PC scope statements, including a

15           description of the PC's use and purpose, the activities associated with that

16           particular project, the expected deliverables from activities in the project,

17           and justification for the billing method to be used for billing the costs

18           accumulated in the project; and (3) testing of affiliate service charges

 1   Q.     PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN BY "PC SCOPE STATEMENTS."

 2   A.     A PC scope statement is a narrative description of the work that is to be

 3          undertaken to which each PC is assigned.             The PC scope statements,

 4          included as part of the Project Summaries in my Exhibit SBT-E, provide

 5          information regarding the purpose of the project, the primary activities to

 6          be undertaken under the project, the primary products or deliverables of

 7          the project, the billing method that applies to the project, and the

 8          justification for that billing method. I have discussed the contents of these

 9          Project Summaries in more detail previously in my testimony.

11   Q.     PLEASE        SUMMARIZE          YOUR        UNDERSTANDING          OF       PWC'S

12          CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO AFFILIATE SERVICE CHARGES.

13   A.     PwC's independent attestation examination of management's assertion on

14          the presentation of costs allocated by ESI and other affiliates to ETI

15          concluded that management's assertion was fairly stated in all material

16          respects.       Management        asserted    that   ESI   has   allocated    costs

17          accumulated in identified PCs on a cost causative basis using billing

18          methods that ensure accurate recording and billing of the costs associated

            that billing methods used              allocate costs by ESI ensure that costs

21          charged to ETI reasonably approximate the actual costs of services

22          provided and are no higher than the costs charged to other affiliates for

23          similar

 2          CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO PC SCOPE STATEMENTS.

 3   A      PwC concluded that management's assertion regarding the PC scope

4           statements was fairly stated in all material respects, i.e., the PC scope

 5          statements adequately described the project purpose, primary activities,

 6          products or deliverables, and rationale for billing method assignment.

 8   Q.     DOES      THE     TOTAL      ETI       ADJUSTED   AMOUNT   ON    THE     G-6

10          A RESULT OF ITS ATTESTATION EXAMINATION OF MANAGEMENT'S

11          ASSERTION ON THE PRESENTATION OF COSTS ALLOCATED BY

12          ESI AND OTHER AFFILIATES TO ETI?

13   A      Yes. The Total ETI Adjusted amount on the G-6 schedules reflects all of

14          the proforma adjustments on Exhibit SBT-D. This exhibit includes various

15          adjustments due to PC billing method changes (Pro Forma Number AJ21-

16          04). The net effect of these adjustments is an increase in costs billed to

17          ETI of $7,368 which is included in the Total ETI Adjusted amount in test

18          year affiliate charges.

 2   Q.     WHAT WERE TOTAL BILLINGS fROM ESI TO THE AFFILIATED

 3          COMPANIES DURING THE TEST YEAR?

 4   A.     ESI billed approximately $883 million to its affiliate companies during the

 5          test year for services provided.       The following exhibits to my testimony

 6          contain schedules that present views of ESI billings to affiliates:

11

12   Q.     WHAT HAPPENS TO CHARGES THAT ARE BILLED BY ESI TO THE

13          OTHER SERVICE COMPANIES, SUCH AS EOI AND EEi?

14   A.     After ESI bills another service company for services rendered, the billed

15          service company affiliate in turn bills the costs to its affiliates.        For

16          instance, when ESI bills EOI for services rendered, EOI will bill one or

17          more of the regulated nuclear plants that it serves (e.g., EGSL's River

18          Bend facility) for the cost. When ESI bills EEi for services rendered, the

19          costs are billed by EEi to one or more of its affiliates. No costs billed by

                                      are subsequently                                Units

     2011 Rate Case

 1   Q.     WHAT IS THE LEVEL OF CHARGES FROM ESI TO ETI DURING THE

 2          TEST YEAR?

 3   A.     ESI billed ETI approximately $84 million during the test year, or

 4          approximately 9.5% of ESl's total billings to all affiliates during the test

 5          year (as seen on Exhibit SBT-8). This figure is a total per book number,

 6          which includes expense and capital amounts billed to ETI. After taking

 7          into account exclusions and pro forma adjustments for ESI charges billed

 8          to ETI, the Total ETI Adjusted number is approximately $69 million (the

 9          remaining $10 million of the Total Requested amount relates to charges

10          from other Entergy affiliates).

12   Q.     HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CHANGES TO THE ESI BILLING PROCESS

13          SINCE THE COMMISSION'S LAST REVIEW OF THE AFFILIATE

14          BILLING PROCESS IN DOCKET NO. 37744?

15   A      With the exception of the changes in the Service Company Recipient

16          allocation process discussed later in my testimony, there have been no

17          substantive changes to the ESI billing process since the Commission's

18          last review of ETl's rates in Docket No. 37744.

 2                               1.        Billing Method Overview

 3   Q.     IN SECTION VII.A ABOVE YOU DESCRIBED HOW A BILLING METHOD

 4          CHOSEN FOR A PROJECT CODE ENSURES THAT ETI IS BILLED

 5          ONLY THOSE COSTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO ETI.                      DO YOU HAVE AN

 6          EXHIBIT THAT PROVIDES MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE

 7          BILLING METHOD ASSIGNMENT PROCESS?

 8   A      Yes.    As described in the billing process discussion in Exhibit SBT-15,

 9          after the preparer of a PC request selects a billing method, it is reviewed

10          for reasonableness by both the intermediate approver of the PC and the

11          Affiliate Accounting and Allocations team that I oversee.          If the billing

12          method selected does not appear to reflect cost-causation, the approver

13          may contact the preparer for clarification as to why the billing method was

14          chosen, or may reject the request until the billing method is adequately

15          justified or another billing method is selected to ensure that the billing

16          method      is appropriate for the services          provided   under the   PC.

17          Attachment 4 to Exhibit SBT-15 contains guidelines for preparing PC

18          scope statements, including the selection and justification of a cost-

19          causative          method.

 1   Q.     PLEASE         EXPLAIN      HOW        ESI   DEFINES    "DIRECT'     VERSUS

 2          "ALLOCATED" BILLINGS.

 3   A.     ESI defines direct billings as those that are billed 100% to one affiliate.

 4          Costs included in direct billings are incurred exclusively for the benefit of

 5          one affiliate. ESI defines allocated billings as those that are distributed

 6          using a formula that allocates costs to two or more affiliates.          Costs

 7          included in allocated billings are incurred for the benefit of more than

 8          one affiliate.

 9

10   Q.     PLEASE           DISTINGUISH       BETWEEN      THE      TERMS      "DIRECT,"

11          "ALLOCATED," "INDIRECT," AND "OVERHEAD."

12   A.     Each of these terms has been defined by ESI and the FERG. They are

13          also defined within the Service Agreements between ESI and its affiliates

14          that were accepted by the FERG in its December 12, 2006 order in

15          connection with ESl's October 13, 2006 request for review and

16          acceptance of service company cost allocations. ESl's definitions of the

17          terms "direct" and "allocated," as used throughout this testimony, are

18          described in the preceding paragraph. These terms relate to how costs

 9          are distributed          one affiliate          or     more than one affiliate

20          (allocated).     The term "overhead" refers to costs that include (1) costs

21          necessary for the existence of ESI as an entity, and (2) costs that are

22          attributable to a department but aren't related to any one specific project

                        is a                                         those             are

     Direct Testimony of Stephanie 8. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1          attributable to the overall operation of a department and not to a specific

 2          service. Exhibit SBT-18 is a chart showing how these terms are defined

 3          by the three groups (ESI, the FERC, and the Service Agreements

 4          accepted by the FERC) listed above.

 5

 6   Q.     DOES ESI BILL DIRECTLY FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE

 7          REGULATED AFFILIATES WHENEVER APPROPRIATE?

 8   A.     Yes.     The former SEC regulations required that service costs be billed

 9          directly to an affiliate as long as such costs can be reasonably identified

10          as caused by an affiliate. Under PUHCA 2005, the FERC adopted this

11          "carryover" SEC provision.

12                   However, it is important to note that the fundamental purpose of a

13          service company such as ESI is to achieve benefits from consolidation

14          and economies of scale for multiple companies.       Therefore, the bulk of

15          ESl's costs may necessarily be incurred to provide common services

16          required by multiple companies, which require an allocation of costs. For

17          example, there are several filings that are required by regulatory agencies

18          that include information for numerous affiliates. Because one filing often

19          serves            legal entities, the employees working on that document

            charge          time using a PC that employs an allocation factor

21          represents a cost-causative relationship to the work performed.

22                   Direct billings from ESI to ETI were 26.36% of ETl's total charges

                       during the test year. Although each
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                            Page 60 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1          received a similar mix between allocated and direct billings, ETI had the

 2          second highest percentage of direct ESI billings of all Entergy Operating

 3          Companies during the test year. Exhibit SBT-17 depicts the percentage of

 4          direct versus allocated billings from ESI to each of the affiliates to which

 5          ESI provides service.

 6

 7   Q.     DOES ES! DIRECTLY BILL EEi FOR SERVICES PROVIDED TO EEi ON

 8          BEHALF       OF     THE     NON-REGULATED            AFFILIATES         WHENEVER

 9          APPROPRIATE?

10   A.     Yes. As noted above, the Operating Companies have similar operations,

11          which provide opportunities for consolidation of services provided to them

12          by ESI. Although the provision of similar services by a single provider

13          results in economies of scale, this often requires an allocation of costs

14          instead of direct charging.            However, because Entergy Corporation's

15          non-regulated subsidiaries require many services that are not similar to

16          those of the regulated utility Operating Companies, the non-regulated

17          companies are not likely to share as many "consolidated" services as the

18          regulated companies.         Instead, because of the variation in requested

19                                                        affiliates, direct            the non-

20          regulated affiliates occur more often than direct billings to the Entergy

21          Operating Companies. As shown on Exhibit SBT-17, direct billings to EEi

22          (which receives the majority of non-regulated billings and, in turn, bills the

                                                                         billings
     Entergy        Inc.                                                      Page 61 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1          As noted above, many services provided by ESI to non-regulated affiliates

 2          are billed by ESI to EEi, rather than to the individual non-regulated

 3          affiliates that receive those services. This does not mean, however, that

 4          ESI is "underbilling" the non-regulated affiliates for the services they

 5          receive.    The billing methods applied to the project codes applicable to

 6          these services ensure that the non-regulated affiliates are paying for their

 7          applicable share of these costs (if allocated), or the full cost if the project

 8          code direct bills the entire cost to EEi.     Exhibit SBT-15 Attachment 6c

 9          includes the statistics of each non-regulated company that were included

10          in calculating billing methods.

11

12   Q.     DOES ESI EVER USE MORE THAN ONE BILLING METHOD FOR A

13          GIVEN PC?

14   A.     No. Because each PC captures a specific service, each PC has only one

15          billing method assigned to it, and the billing method is selected to ensure

16          that every affiliate receiving the service also receives an appropriate

17          allocation. Therefore, the costs related to all services performed under a

18          PC that is not directly billed are allocated among affiliates using the same

19

            customers).          use of a single billing method ensures that all affiliates

21          causing costs to be incurred and receiving the service pay an appropriate

22          proportion of the costs. This also ensures that the affiliates are, in total,

            charged no more and no less than 1          of the
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                   Page 62 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1          under the PC. Also, the use of a single billing method, which is assigned

 2          based on cost causation principles, ensures that each affiliate is paying

 3          the same per unit price for the same service, and that the prices charged

 4          to ETI are no higher than the prices charged by ESI to the other affiliates

 5          for similar services.

 6

 7   Q.     AFTER THE COSTS OF ESl'S SERVICES ARE CAPTURED BY A PC,

 8          HOW      ARE     COSTS       ALLOCATED    AMONG      THE   APPROPRIATE

 9          COMPANIES?

10   A.     One billing method is assigned to each PC for each service company.

11          Depending on the assigned billing method, the cost of services rendered

12          will be billed directly to a single affiliate or allocated among several

13          affiliates.   Billing methods are based on allocation formulae.       Under

14          PUHCA 2005, these allocation formulae must be reviewed and accepted

15          by the FERG.       Each allocation formula is based on data relevant to the

16          affiliated companies.

17                  There are approximately 50 formulae currently in use by ESI that

18          are used to derive billing methods. The FERG has reviewed and accepted

19                                                                            are: total

20          average number of customers, number of personal computers, and

21          transmission line miles.

22                  One allocation formula may be the basis of several billing methods

                                                                                 billing
     Entergy        Inc.                                                     Page 63 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1          methods that use the total number of customers allocation formula,

 2          including: Billing Method CUSEOPCO, based on average electric

 3          customers for the utility Operating Companies; and Billing Method

 4          CUSTEGOP, based on average electric and gas customers for the utility

 5          Operating Companies.          Billing methods that use a common basis for

 6          allocation, such as those mentioned above, are referred to collectively as

 7          a "billing method family." Attachment 6b to Exhibit SBT-15 provides the

 8          billing methods used during the test year.       This exhibit includes each

 9          billing method, the title of each billing method, and the percentage of total

10          costs allocated to each affiliate for each billing method.

11

12   Q.     PLEASE SUMMARIZE HOW THE BILLING METHODS WORK.

13   A      Services that are provided by ESI to only one affiiiate are billed using

14          direct billing methods, which by definition bill only one affiliate. Services

15          that are provided to more than one affiliate are allocated in accordance

16          with formulae reviewed and accepted by FERG. As previously discussed,

17          billing methods that distribute costs using these formulae are often termed

18          allocation methods. There were 179 direct and allocated billing methods

19          derived                                              bill    affiliate costs

20          the affiliated companies during the test year. Of these billing methods,

21          approximately 40% are direct billing methods (one billing method for each

22          business unit ESI serves directly), and the remainder represent variations

23          of the allocation formulae, as discussed above.       However, as noted on
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                      Page 64 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1          Attachment 7 of SBT-15, only 74 of the 179 ESI billing methods were used

 2          to bill costs to ETI during the test year as reflected in the Total ETI

 3          Adjusted amount.

 5                              2.     Billing Method Calculations

 6   Q.     WHAT ARE THE ESI ALLOCATION BILLING METHODS ("ALLOCATION

 7          METHODS") THAT WERE USED TO BILL COSTS FOR SERVICES TO

 8          ETI DURING THE TEST YEAR?

 9   A.     Exhibit SBT-19 is a chart that includes each ESI allocation method that

10          was used to bill costs to ETI during the test year. The chart provides the

11          billing method number, the billing method family to which each method is

12          associated, the basis on which the method is calculated, and the types of

13          costs that are allocated using each method.

14

15   Q.     DID ESI USE ANY ALLOCATION METHODS TO ALLOCATE COSTS TO

16          ETI DURING THE TEST YEAR OTHER THAN THOSE INCLUDED IN

17          EXHIBIT SBT-19?

18   A      No.

19

20   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW EACH ALLOCATION METHOD EMPLOYED

21          BY ESI DURING THE TEST YEAR IS CALCULATED.

22   A.     Each allocation method is calculated by taking each business unit's pro

                          of the cost              statistics (such as number of accounts
     Entergy        Inc.                                                        Page 65 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1             payable transactions or number of employees).            For each allocation

 2             method, Attachment 6 of Exhibit SBT-15 includes the percentages

 3             allocated to each affiliate as well as the statistics used to come up with

 4             those percentages.          For Attachment 6b, all non-regulated percentages

 5             and statistics are included in the "EEi" column.         Attachment 6c was

 6             prepared to provide the individual non-regulated companies included in

 7             the statistics for "EEi."

 8                    Previously required by the SEC under PUHCA 1935 and now

 9             recognized by FERG under PUHCA 2005, all ESI services to ETI are

10             billed at cost. The specific billing method chosen for a particular type of

11             charge is selected to provide an appropriate matching of costs with the

12             cost drivers. Every affiliate that causes the cost and receives the service

13             provided is included in the cost allocation.

15        D.       Service Company Recipient Allocation (also referred to as Shared
16                                      Services Loader)

17   Q.        DOES      THE     ESI   AFFILIATE       BILLING   PROCESS      INCLUDE      A

18             MECHANISM THAT CAPTURES AND ALLOCATES THE COSTS

19             ASSOCIATED WITH SERVICES THAT ESI PROVIDES TO ITSELF?

21             provides services to itself so that it, in turn, can provide services to its

22             affiliates. Therefore, under cost causation billing, ESI is also a receiver of

23             costs associated with the services it provides.        The mechanism that

     2011 Rate Case

 1          allocates the costs associated with the services ESI receives is currently

 2          known as the "Service Company Recipient Allocation." This allocation is

 3          actually comprised of several types of costs, including information

 4          technology, desktops and telephones (discussed more specifically by

 5          Company witness Julie F. Brown), facilities-related costs such as rents

 6          and space management (discussed more specifically by Company witness

 7          Thomas C. Plauche), Human Resources-related costs (discussed more

 8          specifically by Company witness Kevin G. Gardner), and the like.

 g

10   Q.     HOW DOES ESI CAPTURE THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ESI

11          SERVICES RECEIVED?

12   A.     ESI captures the costs associated with ESI services received by including

13          ESI as one of the legal entities to which ESI costs may be billed.

14          Examples of cost causative allocation methods of which ESI is a recipient

15          are APTRNALL (Accounts Payable Transactions), GENLEDAL (General

16          Ledger Transactions), and PRCHKALL (Payroll Checks Issued). Because

17          ESI creates Accounts Payable ("AP") invoices, has its own General

18          Ledger ("GL") transactions, and has employees who receive payroll

19                    a                     costs are         by

20          affiliates, ESI may directly bill costs to itself for services solely caused by

21          ESI using a direct billing method. Examples of costs that may be directly

22          billed to ESI are office supplies, professional fees, and rent associated
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                  Page 67 of 98
     Direct Testimony of Stephanie B. Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1   Q.     WHERE DOES ESI RECORD THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ESI

 2          SERVICES THAT ARE BILLED TO ESI?

 3   A      During the PC billing process, all ESI expenses billed to ESI are deferred

 4          on the balance sheet using a clearing account (Account 184SSL).          In

 5          particular, all of the costs received by ESI in the PC billing process are

 6          assigned to Account 184SSL and further separated by the following

 7          functions: Information Technology, Support -      Operations, Support -

 8          Corporate, Supply Power - Nuclear, and President/CEO.

 9

10   Q.     HOW ARE THE COSTS ACCUMULATED IN ACCOUNT 184SSL

11          ALLOCATED?

12   A      A second-tier allocation called Service Company Recipient Allocation

13          clears the Account 184SSL balance and distributes the costs to the

14          affiliates that are using the services of ESI employees.      This is also

15          consistent with cost causation principles.      It is appropriate to bill

16          companies a pro-rata share of ESI costs based on the amount and type of

17          ESI services they receive because the demand for ESI services drives the

18          costs associated with ESI

 1          monthly costs associated with services received by ESI, which occurs

 2          when ESI bills itself. Such costs within this pool are identified by function.

 3          The basis is the total monthly labor billings to each affiliate to which ESI

 4          provides services in a given month. Such billings are also identified by

 5          function. Thus, a loader rate for each function can be calculated.

 6

 7   Q.     HOW IS THE LOADER RATE CALCULATED?

 8   A.     The loader rate for each function is determined by dividing the total

 9          amount of costs in the pool for a function for that month by the total

10          amount of labor billings (the basis) to affiliates for each function for the

11          same month. Though typically stable, the monthly loader rates may vary

12          as the functional pool and basis vary. The loader rate then is applied to

13          labor billing results to distribute the costs in the pool.      The Affiliate

14          Accounting and Allocations group reviews the pool and basis amounts

15          monthly to ensure that they are reasonable.

21          assign their time to a PC that bills based on the number of fossil-fueled

22          generation plant ("Fossil") employees within each Entergy Corporation
     Entergy Texas, Inc.                                                         Page 69 of 98

 1          the billing, which is assigned to the 184SSL account. This is classified as

 2          an overhead cost for ESI Fossil employees.               During the same billing

 3          process, ESI Fossil employees bill their labor out to those companies

 4          receiving their services via the billing method assigned to each PC used.

 5                  Once the PC billing process described above is complete, the

 6          Service Company Recipient Allocation begins.                  In this second-tier

 7          allocation, the total dollar amount that was billed to ESI for services

 8          provided to ESI Fossil employees by Human Resources (contained within

 9          the Support-Corporate pool) is distributed to the labor amounts that were

10          billed by the ESI Fossil group (the basis), thereby loading the Fossil

11          organization's labor billings with their share of service company

12          recipient charges.

13

14   Q.     WHY DOES ESI USE THIS TWO-TIERED APPROACH FOR BILLING?

15   A      The two-tiered approach is used to ensure that all the costs (both

16          overhead and direct) are paid for by the affiliates that cause the costs. It

17          is important that ETI be able to determine the total cost associated with its

18          projects and services.            The Service Company Recipient Allocation

19          ensures that overheads associated with managing each                           are

            loaded to the projects to which those functional employees charged their

21          time.   This enables each project to be fully-loaded with both the direct

22          costs    assigned     to    the    project   as   well   as   service   company

23          recipient charges.

 1   Q.     HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CHANGES IN THIS PROCESS SINCE THE

 2          COMMISSION'S LAST REVIEW IN DOCKET NO. 37744?

 3   A.     Yes. The Service Company Recipient Allocation's basis was adjusted in

 4          January 2010 to include not only labor billings to ESI affiliates, but also

 5          labor costs that remain at ESI such as capital or other balance sheet items

 6          maintained at ESI.       Prior to the change, the basis included only labor

 7          billings to affiliates from ESL As a result of the change, ESl-owned capital

 8          projects (not included in cost of service) are loaded with the service

 9          company recipient charges as well.          In addition, beginning in January

10          2010, the number of functional rates was changed from sixteen to five.

11          This change was implemented to streamline the process so that internal

12          customers could more easily analyze and predict their service company

13          recipient costs.

16   Q.     WHAT ARE PAYROLL LOADERS?

17   A.     Payroll loaders allocate payroll-related costs, specifically payroll taxes,

18          employee benefits, post-employment benefits, stock options, certain

19                                             paid

20          own loader.      These payroll-related costs are loaded to projects so that

21          each project is fully-loaded with both the direct labor costs and the

22          associated payroll loaders.

     Direct Testimony of Stephanie R Tumminello
     2011 Rate Case

 1   Q.     PLEASE SUMMARIZE THE PAYROLL LOADERS PROCESS.

 2   A.     The Human Resources department provides Affiliate Accounting and

 3          Allocations with base standard rates for employee benefits, post-

 4          employment benefits, and stock options, while the Compensation and

 5          Benefits Design department provides the base standard rates for

 6          incentives. These base standard rates are based on total payroll. The

 7          base standard rate for payroll taxes is calculated by the Affiliate

 8          Accounting and Allocations group based on payroll taxes paid during the

 9          prior year as a percentage of the total payroll paid during the prior year.

10          Because payroll allocations load only on productive payroll rather than

11          total payroll, the Affiliate Accounting and Allocations group adjusts these

12          base standard rates by productive factors to generate actual loader rates.

13          The actual loader rate for paid time off is also caicuiated by the Affiliate

14          Accounting and Allocations group based on the percentage of non

15          productive payroll to productive payroll.

16                  The loader rates for employee benefits, post-employment benefits,

17          stock options, incentives, and paid time off are applied to productive

18          straight-time payroll (excluding overtime) The loader rate for payroll taxes

19          is applied     total productive        (including             All             are

 2          receiving the services based on cost-causation principles.

 4   Q.     HOW OFTEN ARE LOADER RATES REVIEWED AND ADJUSTED, IF

 5          NEEDED?

 6   A      The loader rates for payroll taxes, employee benefits, post-employment

 7          benefits, stock options, incentives, and paid time off, are reviewed for

 8          reasonableness by the Affiliate Accounting and Allocations group on a

 9          quarterly basis and adjusted, or trued-up, on an annual basis.

10

11   Q.     HAVE THERE BEEN ANY CHANGES IN THIS PROCESS SINCE THE

12          COMMISSION'S LAST REVIEW IN DOCKET NO. 37744?

13   A      Yes. In Docket No. 37744 (test period including the twelve months ended

14          June 30, 2009) the payroll loaders included employee benefits, post-

15          employment benefits, incentives, payroll taxes, and paid time off.       The

16          post-employment benefits loader was comprised of payroll related costs

17          associated with stock options, pensions, and other post-employment

18          benefits.    In July 2010, the payroll related costs associated with stock

19

20          payroll loader was created to identify those costs with a separate, unique

21          resource code. The post-employment benefits loader now excludes the

22          payroll related costs associated with stock options.

 2   Q.     BESIDES ESI, WHICH ENTERGY COMPANIES BILLED ETI FOR

 3          SERVICES RENDERED DURING THE TEST YEAR?

 4   A      Each of the Operating Companies billed ETI for services rendered. There

 5          are several reasons for the Operating Companies to provide services to

 6          one another. For instance, materials from the storeroom of one Operating

 7          Company are often transferred to another. Also, one Operating Company

 8          may assist another in an emergency situation, such as during a storm and

 9          subsequent storm restoration. An Operating Company affiliate can also

10          transfer a percentage of the operating costs of a shared plant to another

11          Operating Company affiliate through the co-owner billing process.              As

12          noted previously, during the test year, EGSL transferred operating costs to

13          ETI related to the jointly-owned Nelson 6 plant.         In addition, certain of

14          Entergy Corporation's non-regulated affiliates also loaned services to ETI.

15          These services primarily relate to loaned labor and material transfers.

16                  The following exhibits provide a listing of test year per book billings

17          by project/activity code for each Operating Company to its affiliates and for

18          non-regulated affiliates to the regulated affiliates:

 7                                        A.       Overview

 8   Q.     WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION OF YOUR TESTIMONY?

 9   A.     I sponsor the following three classes of affiliate costs:

10                  (1)     Depreciation. The Depreciation Class includes the cost for
11                          the depreciation and amortization of ESI assets. These
12                          assets are used by ESI in the provision of services to its
13                          affiliate companies;

14                  (2)     Service Company Recipient Offsets. The Total ETI Adjusted
15                          amount for the Service Company Recipient Offsets Class is
16                          zero. This class is set up for Accounting purposes only; and

17                  (3)     Other Expenses. The Other Expenses Class primarily
18                          includes payroll-related costs that have not yet been loaded
19                          to individual departments, the credit ETI received from the
20                          5% upcharge to the non-regulated affiliates, and other
21                          miscellaneous costs not associated with other specific
22                          classes.

23                  As shown on my Exhibits SBT-5 and SBT-6, these three classes

24          are in the Accounting Entries function, which is included in the Corporate

            Support family.

27   Q.     WITH REGARD TO THE THREE CLASSES THAT YOU SPONSOR, DO

28          THE BILLINGS PROVIDED TO ETI DURING THE TEST YEAR MEET

     2011 Rate Case

 1          THE COMMISSION STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION OF SUCH COSTS

 2          IN RATES?

 3   A      Yes. The billings to ETI during the test year in the three classes of costs

 4          that I sponsor meet the Commission standards for inclusion of such costs

 5          in rates (noting, again, that there are no costs from the Service Company

 6          Recipient Offsets Class included in the Total ETI Adjusted amounts in this

 7          case). Specifically:

 8                  1.      The charges billed to ETI during the test year were
 9                          reasonable and necessary for the operation of ETI.

10                  2.      The amount charged to ETI through the PC billing process,
11                          the co-owner billing process, and the loaned resource billing
12                          process for each cost or class of costs during the test year
13                          are no higher than the amount charged to the other affiliates
14                          or non-affiliated persons for these classes of costs.

15                  3.      The amounts charged to ETI during the test year represent
16                          the actual costs of services provided to ETI.

17                  4.      As with all other classes of affiliate costs, expenses that are
18                          not allowed for ratemaking purposes are included in the
19                          billed expenses, but are excluded from the Total ET!
20                          Adjusted amount as below-the-line expenses in accounts
21                          such as Account No. 426, and/or are included in the pro
22                          forma adjustments shown on Schedule G-6.2, and,
23                          therefore, are not included in cost of service.

24                  5       The items charged to ET! are not duplicative of items already
25                          provided by or for ETI.

10   Q.     WHAT KINDS OF ASSETS ARE OWNED BY ESI THAT RESULT IN THE

11          DEPRECIATION THAT IS THEN CHARGED TO THE AFFILIATE

12          COMPANIES?

13   A.     In order to provide services to its affiiiate companies, ESi must invest in

14          certain depreciable assets to support its operations. These assets consist

15          primarily    of      computer        equipment,   computer   software   systems,

16          communications equipment, furniture, fixtures, leasehold improvements,

17          and aircraft.     However, a pro forma adjustment was made to remove

18          Company aircraft costs, including depreciation on aircraft, from the

19                        cost

 1   Q.      PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW THE DEPRECIATION OF ESl'S ASSETS IS

 2           CALCULATED.

 3   A.      The purpose of depreciation is to distribute the cost of an asset over its

4            expected useful life. Total depreciation expense over the life of an asset

 5           is equal to the asset's cost (less any proceeds realized upon disposal).

 6           ESI uses the straight-line method to calculate the annual depreciation

 7           expense for its assets. Use of this depreciation method results in the cost

 8           of an asset being distributed evenly over the expected useful life of the

 9           asset For example, an asset costing $1,000 that has an expected service

10           life of 10 years would result in depreciation expense for this asset of $100

11           per year for a period of 10 years ($1,000 divided by 10 years= $100 per

12           year or 10% a year).            This method of calculating depreciation is

13           appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles. The straight-

14           line method is also the most commonly used and accepted depreciation

15           method.       According to an American              Institute of Certified Public

16           Accountants survey of 544 companies in 2009, 89% use the straight-line

17           method of depreciation versus other methods, which are primarily

18           accelerated methods of depreciation. 16 Exhibit SBT-26 is a summary of

19

 1   Q.     PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THE DEPRECIATION COSTS BILLED TO ETI

 2          ARE NECESSARY.

 3   A      ESI requires certain assets to support the operations that provide services

 4          to its affiliates, including ETI.        The depreciation cost is the result of

 5          distributing the cost of these assets over their expected service lives to the

 6          recipients of the services provided by ESL These assets enable ESI to

 7          provide the services required by its affiliates, including ETI, in the most

 8          efficient, effective, and reliable manner possible. Without such assets to

 9          support its operations, ESI could not provide the services that are required

10          by its affiliates, including ETI. Depreciation of those assets is a necessary

11          and proper component of the cost of owning and using the assets to

12          provide services.

14                                   3.      Reasonableness

15   Q.     HAVE      YOU      REVIEWED            THE   DEPRECIATION      EXPENSE     TO

16          DETERMINE WHETHER THE CHARGES WERE REASONABLE?

17   A      Yes. The charges to ETI for the costs I sponsor are reasonable for the

18          operation of ETI because the method of calculating depreciation

19          (straight-line method) is appropriate            generally accepted accounting

            principles and is the most common method                     addition,    price

21          charged by ESI to ETI for this item represents the actual cost of this item.

 1   Q.     WHAT OBJECTIVE SOURCES SUPPORT YOUR OPINION THAT THE

 2          DEPRECIATION COSTS BILLED BY ENTERGY SERVICES TO ETI ARE

 3          REASONABLE?

 4   A.     Exhibit SBT-27 is a benchmarking study prepared under my supervision

 5          that compares the dollar amount of assets per employee for ESI to the

 6          dollar amount of assets per employee for other PUHCA 2005 service

 7          companies. This measure, cost of assets per employee, is appropriate

 8          because employees drive the need for assets in service companies.

 9          Because the number of employees would be the primary determinant of

10          the level of the assets that would be required, assets per employee is a

11          valid measure. Exhibit SBT-27 compares the service company property

12          per employee of ESI to the service company property per employee of six

13          other PUHCA 2005 service companies with at least $100 million of service

14          company property as of December 31, 2010. This exhibit shows ES l's

15          cost of assets per employee, while slightly higher than the average, is

16           reasonable compared to that of the other PUHCA 2005 service

17          companies.      This comparison is based on service company headcount

 1          SBT-27 differs from what was reported on the companies' 2010 FERG

 2          Form 60s. These were the only companies that included Transportation

 3          Equipment in their Service Company Property. Beginning with the FERG

 4          Form 60 Annual Report for the period ending December 31, 2008, the

 5          service company property category "Aircraft and Airport Equipment" was

 6          eliminated and included in "Transportation Equipment."                A pro forma

 7          adjustment was made (AJ21-01) to remove Company aircraft costs from

 8          the Company's cost of service. Therefore, to be consistent with the costs

 9          included in this case, the Transportation Equipment was removed from the

10          total   Service    Company       Property   for     all   companies    before    the

11          benchmarking study was completed.           Because the benchmarking study

12          supports the reasonableness of the level of assets being depreciated, and

13          the procedures used to depreciate the assets are appropriate and

14          consistent with well accepted accounting practices, the ultimate level of

15          depreciation is likewise reasonable.

16                  With the exception of depreciation on aircraft, ESI distributes the

17          costs associated with the depreciation and amortization of ES! assets

18          based on the labor cost billed to each affiliate.              Distributing ESl's

19          depreciation and amortization                     this manner is an appropriate

20          allocation of these costs because            employee labor is a reasonable

21          measure of the level of services provided by ES! employees to affiliates,

22          and employees and the services they provide drive the need for the assets

23          utilized by       in its operations. Depreciation on aircraft is                as a

 2          specific PCs based on the PC( s) associated with the ridership and

 3          purpose of a particular flight.        However, as noted above, a pro forma

 8   Q.     DO THE DEPRECIATION COSTS CHARGED BY ENTERGY SERVICES

 9          TO ETI UNDER THIS CLASS REASONABLY APPROXIMATE THE

10          COSTS OF THOSE ITEMS?

11   A.     Yes. The depreciation costs charged are based on the actual costs of the

12          assets supporting ESl's operations and do not include any profit

13          or markup.

14

15   Q.     IS THE PRICE CHARGED TO ETI FOR DEPRECIATION NO HIGHER

16          THAN THE PRICE CHARGED TO OTHER AFFILIATES?

17   A.     Yes. The price charged to ET! is no higher than the price charged by ESI

 3          depreciation cost is billed to each affiliate at the same rate for each dollar

 4          of labor charged, ensuring that costs are equitably distributed to

 5          each affiliate.

 6

 7   Q.     HOW ARE THE COSTS OF THIS CLASS CAPTURED AND BILLED TO

 8          ETI?

 9   A.     With the exception of depreciation on aircraft, the cost associated with this

10          class is initially captured in Project Code F5PCZUDEPX, Depreciation and

11          Amortization, and then these costs are distributed directly to ESI PCs

12          based on the labor charged to the project codes. The receiving PCs then

13          bill the depreciation costs (along with all other costs charged to the PC) to

14          ESl's affiliates based on the assigned billing method for each project.

15          During the test year,          projects receiving depreciation costs billed

21          ESI?

22   A.     As noted, with the exception of depreciation on aircraft, ESI assigned

 1          billed these costs to affiliates based on the billing method assigned to

 2          each project. The use of assets required to support ESI employee service

 3          functions results in the depreciation and amortization cost. labor charged

 4          to projects is an appropriate allocation for this cost because ESI employee

 5          labor is a reasonable measure of the level of services provided by ESI

 6          employees to affiliates.       This process distributes the depreciation and

 7          amortization of assets necessary for the ESI employees to provide

 8          services to its affiliates in a manner consistent with the distribution of ESI

 3          and removal from or credit to the clearing account during the second tier

 4          allocation process. Because the costs are distributed to all affiliates based

 5          on the labor billings of ESI employees, the allocated costs are reflected in

 6          the other affiliate classes.       The loader offset, which is charged to a

 7          balance sheet clearing account, is reflected in the Service Company

 8          Recipient Offsets Class.         Because the loader offset is charged to a

 1   Q      PLEASE DESCRIBE THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT RESULTED IN THE

 2          PAYROLL-RELATED COSTS INCLUDED IN THIS CLASS.

 3   A.     Certain payroll-related adjustments, which resulted in the payroll-related

 4          costs in this class, are primarily the result of the use of standard estimated

 5          rates throughout the year, which differ from actual recorded charges at the

 6          end of the year. The costs resulting from the payroll-related adjustments

 7          account for approximately $2.3 million.         (As I explain below, there is a

 8          credit that offsets this amount by $500,000.) Company witness Gardner

 9          discusses the reasonableness of various types of payroll-related costs,

10          including     employee      benefits,     teamsharing,   and   other   incentive

11          compensation and payroll taxes. I address the residual amount of these

12          payroll-related costs that have not been loaded to specific departments.

13

14   Q.     BESIDES THESE PAYROLL-RELATED COSTS, WHAT OTHER COSTS

15          ARE INCLUDED IN THE OTHER EXPENSES CLASS?

16   A      Also included in the Other Expenses Class is a credit of approximately

17          $500,000 of other expenses.            The other expenses within this class are

18          primarily made up of credits related to the 5% upcharge to the non-

 1   Q.     WHAT PERCENTAGES OF THE TOTAL ETI ADJUSTED FOR THIS

 2          CLASS WERE DIRECT BILLED AND ALLOCATED TO ETI?

 3   A.     As shown on Exhibit SBT-A, SBT-B, and SBT-C, the Total ETI Adjusted

 4          amount for this class of services is $1,756,009.            Of this amount, ESI

 5          directly billed the $500,000 credit described above {which is -13.9% of the

 6          Total ETI Adjusted amount) and allocated the payroll-related costs (which

 7          is 113.9% of the Total ETI Adjusted amount) to ETI. The following table

 8          summarizes this information for the Other Expenses Class. I described

 9          the column names previously in the Depreciation Class section of my

10          testimony.

12          INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THE TABLE ABOVE.

13   A.     Exhibits SBT-A through SBT-C support the information for this class in the

14          same manner as I discussed earlier          my testimony.       each exhibit, the

15          amounts        the columns represent the same information as described

 1   Q.     ARE THERE ANY PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS TO THIS CLASS?

 2   A.     Yes. The proforma adjustments for the Other Expenses Class are shown

 3          on Exhibit SBT-0, which also indicates the Company witnesses who

4           sponsor those pro forma adjustments.     As indicated on Exhibit SBT-0,

 5          there were eleven pro forma adjustments made to the Other Expenses

 6          Class. Exhibit SBT-12 describes the proforma adjustments to this Class

 9   Q.     WHAT ARE THE MAJOR COST COMPONENTS OF THE CHARGES

10          FOR THIS CLASS?

11   A      The major cost components for charges from ESI to ETI are as follows:

 1          Total ETI Adjusted amount for the Other Expenses Class. This breakout

 2          of costs provides an additional view of the components of the costs in this

 3          class. For example, the table demonstrates that 129.88% of the costs are

 4          for compensation, employee benefits, and other labor-related expenses

 5          ("Payroll and Employee Costs"). These costs are the result of certain

 6          payroll-related adjustments, which I discussed earlier in this section.

 7          Company witness Gardner discusses overall payroll and benefits-related

 8          structure and practices. The Other expenses in this class, as I previously

 9          discussed, include the credits related to the 5% upcharge to the

10          non-regulated affiliates, and other miscellaneous accounting adjustments.

12                                       2.        Necessity

13   Q.     PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT RESULTED IN

14          THE COSTS BILLED TO ETI UNDER THE OTHER EXPENSES CLASS

15          ARE NECESSARY.

16   A.     As explained above, the adjustments resulting in the payroll-related costs

17          included in the Other Expenses Class are necessary to reflect costs

18          associated with reasonable and necessary compensation and benefit

19          programs that Company witness                       discusses                  direct

                                                               were necessary

21          reflect accounting entries in the Company's books in accordance with

            generally accepted accounting standards.

                                                                        0   A'.l'i

 2   Q.     HAVE YOU REVIEWED THE COSTS IN THE OTHER EXPENSES

 3          CLASS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE ADJUSTMENTS WERE

4           REASONABLE?

 5   A.     Yes. The adjustments that result in the payroll-related costs in the Other

 6          Expenses Class are reasonable because they were made in accordance

 7          with generally accepted accounting standards to reflect timing differences

 8          associated with book entries. There is no duplication or over-recovery of

 9          actual costs.      The reasonableness of the compensation and benefit

10          programs associated with these payroll-related costs are discussed by

11          Company witness Gardner.           As stated, the remaining adjustments are

12          reasonable (and necessary) to reflect proper and accepted accounting

13          practices with regard to the Company's books.

15                               4.        How Costs are Charged

16   Q.      DO THE COSTS CHARGED BY ES! TO ETI UNDER THE OTHER

17           EXPENSES CLASS REASONABLY APPROXIMATE THE COSTS OF

18          THOSE ITEMS?

19                                 costs charged under the         Expenses

            are the result of certain adjustments, are based on actual costs        do

21          include any profit or markup.

 1   Q.     IS THE PRICE CHARGED TO ETI FOR ADJUSTMENTS CHARGED

 2          UNDER THIS CLASS NO HIGHER THAN THE PRICE CHARGED TO

 3          OTHER AFFILIATES?

 4   A      Yes. The adjustments that resulted in the costs in this class ensure that

 5          the total costs charged to ETI are no higher than the price charged by ESI

 6          to the other affiliates for the costs charged under the Other Expenses

 7          Class. The adjustments that resulted in the payroll-related costs in this

 8          class are part of a true-up process to adjust payroll-related account

 9          balances for the use of standard estimated rates during the year.        The

10          account balance true-ups follow the same billing distribution as the original

11          payroll loaders with the same PCs used for labor costs. As I explained

12          earlier in my testimony, each PC is assigned one billing method that will

13          most appropriately allocate the charges to the companies receiving the

14          services based on cost-causation principles. This basis of cost allocation

15          ensures that the price charged to ETI is no higher than the price charged

16          to other affiliates.

 1   Q.     HAVE YOU DONE ANY TYPE OF ANALYSIS TO REACH THE

 2          CONCLUSION THAT ESl'S COSTS ARE GENERALLY IN LINE WITH

 3          THOSE OF PEER SERVICE COMPANIES?

 4   A.     Yes, I conducted a benchmarking analysis comparing ESl's costs with the

 5          costs of peer service companies using publicly available information in the

 6          December 31, 2010 FERC Form 60 for a peer group of service companies

 7          and the December 31, 2010 Form 10-K for the related holding companies.

 8

 9   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW YOU DEVELOPED YOUR LIST OF PEER

10          GROUP SERVICE COMPANIES.

11   A.     I identified the list of service companies that submitted a December 31,

12          2010 Form 60 to the FERC. The FERC Form 60 is required to be filed by

13          all utility service companies serving multiple jurisdictions.   For 2010, 38

14          service companies, including ESI, submitted the FERC Form 60. Several

15          of these companies have multiple service companies that provide specific

16          services that are not comparable to ESI, including those that provide

17          nuclear generation operations.         My analysis excluded those service

18          companies that provide specific services that are not comparable to ESI.

19             order     ensure direct comparability, my analysis also excluded service

            companies with a                 based parent company and companies with

21          fewer than 1 million customers.         To ensure that the analysis was

22          performed among similar companies,           I then included only those

            companies whose holding company systems were classified as

 2          those companies whose service company headcount information is not

 3          publicly available in the Form 10-K or whose FERC Form 60 does not

 4          include service company property.       The resulting 2010 ESI peer group

 5          used in my benchmarking analysis includes Allegheny, AEP, Exelon,

 6          FirstEnergy, Northeast Utilities, PEPCO, and Southern Company. A high

 7          level overview of the peer group selection process is included in

10   Q.     PLEASE DESCRIBE THE FERC FORM 60 DATA AND THE FORM 10-K

11          DATA THAT WAS USED IN YOUR BENCHMARKING ANALYSIS.

12   A.     My benchmarking analysis captured service company O&M expense as a

13          percentage of total company O&M, service company O&M expense as a

14          percentage of total company revenue, service company O&M expense as

15          a percentage of total company assets, and service company O&M

16          expense per service company employee.            The service company O&M

17          expense is publicly available in the FERG Form 60. The total company

18          O&M, total company revenue, total company assets, and service company

19                        are           available               1

20          were calculated on a per-unit basis rather than a total cost basis due to

21          differing levels of granularity and aggregation in the total costs.

 1    Q.      WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF YOUR BENCHMARKING ANALYSIS

 2            FOR EACH OF THE COST COMPARISONS LISTED ABOVE?

 3    A       As shown in Exhibit SBT-28B, ESI O&M expense represents 21.50% of

 4            total company O&M expense, which is below the peer group average of

 5            26.33%.    As shown in Exhibit SBT-28C, ESI O&M expense represents

 6            9.49% of total company revenue, which is below the peer group average

 7            of 10.77%. As shown in Exhibit SBT-28D, ESI O&M expense represents

 8            1.79% of total company assets, which is below the peer group average of

 9            2.05%.    Lastly, as shown in Exhibit SBT-28E, ESI O&M expense is

10            $220,325 per ESI employee, which is below the peer group average of

11            $248, 142 per service company employee.

13    Q.      HOW SHOULD COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO A

14            PEER GROUP, AS CALCULATED THROUGH BENCHMARKING, BE

15            VIEWED?

16    A       In general, service company costs that are at or better than average

17            provide an indication that a company is providing services in a cost

18            effective manner.

22    A       The overall benchmarking analysis indicated that ESI performed slightly
