New Mexico Administrative Code
Title 17 - PUBLIC UTILITIES AND UTILITY SERVICES
Chapter 1 - UTILITIES GENERAL PROVISIONS
Part 3 - FUTURE TEST YEAR PERIOD FILING REQUIREMENTS IN SUPPORT OF RATE SCHEDULES FOR INVESTOR-OWNED UTILITIES
Section 17.1.3.6 - OBJECTIVE
The purpose of 17.1.3 NMAC is to define and specify the different or additional minimum data requirements to be filed in support for a tendered new rate schedule or rate schedule based on a future test year period which will supersede, supplement, or otherwise change the provision of a rate schedule required to be on file with this commission. This rule is intended to provide for a complete and comprehensive rate case filing that, by including full explanations and justifications of changes in items between the adjusted base period, linkage data and future test year period as required by this rule should minimize the amount of discovery needed by commission staff (hereafter "staff") and intervenors to analyze a filing. This rule shall in no way, however, be construed to place any limits on discovery by staff and intervenors, nor to limit the utility's burden of proof under Section 62-8-7 A NMSA 1978.
