Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 25-30.430 - Test Year Approval
(1) Prior to the
filing of an application for a general rate increase, a utility shall submit to
the Commission a written request for approval of a test year, supported by a
statement of reasons and justifications showing that the requested test year is
representative of utility operations. The Commission Chairman will then approve
or disapprove the request within 30 days from the receipt of the request. In
disapproving the requested test year, the Chairman may suggest another test
year. Within 30 days of the Chairman's approval or disapproval of a test year,
upon request of any interested person the full Commission may review the
Chairman's test year decision.
(2)
Each applicant for test year approval shall submit the following information in
its written request to the Chairman:
(a) A
statement explaining why the requested test year is representative of the
utility's current operations.
(b) A
general statement of major plant expansions or changes in operational methods
which:
1. Have occurred in the most recent 18
months or since the last test year, whichever is less;
2. Will occur during the requested test
year.
(c) A general
statement of all known estimated pro forma adjustments which will be made to
the requested test year amounts.
(d) If a projected test year is requested,
provide an explanation as to why the projected period is more representative of
the utility's operations than a historical period.
(3) Any requests for extensions of time to
file the application shall be made to the Director, Division of Accounting and
Finance. Upon good cause shown and if the extension will not cause the approved
test year to be unrepresentative, the Director shall grant an extension in
writing.
