Section R. 460.2302 - Application, intention, and interpretation of rules; utility rules and regulations

(1) These rules apply to a gas utility that operates within the state of Michigan and that is subject to the jurisdiction of the commission.

(2) These rules are intended to promote safe and adequate gas service to the public, to provide technical standards for uniform and reasonable practices by gas utilities, to encourage efficiency and economy, and to establish a basis for determining the reasonableness of such demands as may be made by the public upon gas utilities.

(3) Questions that concern the application or interpretation of these rules and disagreements with respect to any service rules and regulations that are promulgated by a utility shall be referred to the commission for a ruling.

(4) A utility shall adopt reasonable rules and regulations, subject to commission approval, governing its relations with customers. The rules and regulations must not be inconsistent with these rules and any other rules of the commission. A utility's rules and regulations must constitute an integral part of the utility's rate book.

(5) Upon written request of a customer, utility, or on its own motion, the commission may waive any requirements of these rules when it determines the waiver will further the effective and efficient administration of these rules and is in the public interest.
