HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) today approved an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Order requesting comments on proposed procedures and filing requirements for utilities that use a Fully Projected Future Test Year (FPFTY) in base rate cases.

The Commission voted 5-0 to solicit comments on potential new FPFTY procedures and filing requirements for utility use in base rate proceedings.  Under Act 11 of 2012 (Act 11), as part of base rate cases, utilities may now employ a FPFTY to project items such as revenues, operating expenses, and capital expenditures throughout a 12-month period beginning with the first month that new rates would be in effect.

Interested parties have 45 days from the publication of the Order in the Pennsylvania Bulletin to provide written comments to Secretary Rosemary Chiavetta, Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, 400 North St., Harrisburg, PA  17120.  Comments may alternatively be filed electronically through the Commission’s e-File system.  Word-compatible copies of all comments are to be e-mailed to RA-PC-FPFTY2317273E@pa.gov.
