Subchapter 3 - Applications
Section 165:70-3-8 - Amending an application

(a) A utility may not significantly amend a general rate change filing after it has been docketed by the OCC Court Clerk. An amendment may be accommodated by withdrawing the initial filing and substituting a new, amended filing in place of the original cause, which will establish a new filing date. An amended filing must conform to the requirements of 165:70-3-1 and will be subject to the sanctions in 165:70-5-2.

(b) For purposes of this Section, an amendment shall be deemed "significant" if it updates the test year. For Class A and B utilities, an amendment shall also be deemed "significant" if it requests more than a five percent (5%) change in the previously requested increase in revenue or, for Class C and D utilities, if it requests more than a five percent (5%) change in the previously requested revenue requirement, unless such changes are mandated by law.

(c) A utility may incorporate a significant change without refiling an entirely new case by agreeing to restart the 180-day period. The new period would begin when the amended application is filed.
