1. A utility that is charging a system improvement rate shall, on or before April 1 of each year after the establishment of the system improvement rate, file an application recommending continuation of the system improvement rate or an adjustment to the system improvement rate.

2. An application filed pursuant to subsection 1:

(a) Must:
(1) Provide the most current balance in the regulatory asset account for the system improvement rate.

(2) Recommend an adjustment to account for the difference between the actual revenues from the system improvement rate and the uncollected balance of the system improvement rate revenue requirement.

(b) May recommend an adjustment to account for the amortized amount of the reported balance of the regulatory asset account for the system improvement rate. If the utility does not provide a recommendation pursuant to this paragraph, the utility shall provide an explanation for the omission of the recommendation.

3. For any adjustment recommended pursuant to subsection 2:

(a) If the eligible project for which the recommendation is proposed is an improvement to a distribution system, production system or transmission system, the recommended adjustment to the system improvement rate must be based upon water consumption by each customer class during the 12-month period for which the application is filed.

(b) If the eligible project for which the recommendation is proposed is an improvement to a wastewater system, the recommended adjustment must be based upon the customer class contribution to total revenues for the 12-month period for which the application is filed.

4. If the Commission does not approve the application within 120 days after the filing date of the application, the application shall be deemed denied unless the Commission or presiding officer issues an order extending the time by which the application must be approved.
