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 54-4-24 gives the Public Service Commission (Commission) the authority to require a utility to conform its depreciation accounts to the rates ascertained, determined, and fixed 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 in the last five years.
Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:
This rule needs to remain in effect to provide plant service life guidelines for those water utilities that cannot afford to perform depreciation studies on their own plant. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
