SUMMARY: This Rule establishes requirements for the form, content, and organization of all filings of schedules of rates and terms and conditions by public utilities with the Public Utilities Commission, and specifies additional information to be submitted in connection with general rate cases. A two-month advance notification of general rate cases is required for major utilities. The Rule also describes the requirements for water utility rate filings under 35-A M.R.S.A. §6104 and consumer-owned electric utility rate filings under 35-A M.R.S.A. §3502. The rule allows the Commission to waive any requirement for good cause, and establishes procedures for the handling of defective filings. The Administrative Director and Assistant Administrative Director are delegated authority to review and suspend filings, waive requirements, and order corrections of schedules.
