DAR File No.: 37869
Filed: 07/31/2013 08:09:00 AM

NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 54-7-12 addresses rate changes of public utilities and the information and schedules they are to submit to justify and show the rate changes they propose. The rule provides direction on what type of information may be submitted by small telephone companies to simplify the provision of necessary information to support rate changes proposed and to be approved by the Commission.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No comments have been received since 2008.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule remains necessary to provide necessary information for general rate case filings. The rule requires information to be filed on schedules with an application for a change in rates. Providing this information simplifies proceedings, eliminates expense, and enhances the effectiveness of the fact-finding process. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
