Subchapter 00 - N/A
Part 5 - Additional Requirements for Filings of General Rate Schedule Changes
Section 810-RICR-00-00-5.3 - Filing
Current through September 18, 2024
A. Notice to the Commission of proposed general rate schedule changes by a public utility pursuant to R.I. Gen. Laws § 39-3-11, shall be given by a filing with the Commission pursuant to the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, Part 1 of this Subchapter, accompanied by the documents, data and information in the manner and form required by these rules, unless a motion for an exemption from any requirements accompanies the filing.
B. In the event that any information, document or data required by this Part is unavailable and/or its ascertainment or submission would be unduly burdensome or it is not relevant in light of the schedule change which is the subject of the application, the applicant may file with the application a motion for an exemption from the requirement. The motion shall set forth in detail the reasons why the information, document or data cannot or should not be submitted. The granting of such a motion shall not exempt the applicant from supplying the information, document or data in response to a subsequent data request.
C. Commission-ordered suspension periods of up to eight months commence on the date a general rate filing would otherwise take effect. After docketing, any change or changes in the filing which would, singly or in the aggregate, increase the overall cost of service by more than one percent (1%), or an individual rate by more than five percent (5%), may be treated as a new filing, triggering a new eight (8) month period for Commission review and decision.
