Current through March 28, 2022
1. A utility which transports natural gas to
a transportation customer and the transportation customer shall jointly file
with the Commission an application for approval of any discounted rate contract
at least 60 days prior to the transportation customer taking service from the
utility pursuant to the discounted rate contract.
2. The utility shall simultaneously serve the
Regulatory Operations Staff and the Bureau of Consumer Protection with a copy
of the application for approval of the discounted rate contract and all
supporting documents required by regulation and the schedule approved by the
Commission.
3. The Regulatory
Operations Staff, the Bureau of Consumer Protection or any interested and
affected person may, not later than 60 days after the application for approval
of the discounted rate contract is filed with the Commission, file with the
Commission a protest alleging that the contract fails to comply with NAC
704.516 to
704.528,
inclusive, and sections 2 to 5, inclusive, or the schedule approved by the
Commission. The Commission will not consider protests that are untimely. A

(a) A statement
describing the manner in which the discounted rate contract fails to comply
with the requirements of NAC
704.516 to
704.528,
inclusive, and sections 2 to 5, inclusive, or the schedule;
4. Upon receipt of a properly
filed and timely protest, the Commission may, not later than 120 days after the
filing of the application for approval of the discounted rate contract with the
Commission, hold a hearing to determine whether the protest is valid and
whether the contract complies with NAC
704.516 to
704.528,
and sections 2 to 5, inclusive, and the schedule approved by the Commission.
Multiple protests regarding the same contract may be consolidated into a single
hearing.
5. If no protest is filed,
the discount contained in the discounted rate contract becomes effective as
provided in the application for approval of the discounted rate
contract.
6. If a protest is filed,
the Commission will issue an order within 150 days of the filing of the
application for approval of the discounted rate contract with the Commission
approving or denying the discounted rate contract. The discounted rate contract
shall not go into effect until the date the Commission issues an order
approving the rates.
7. If a
transportation customer seeks to renew a discounted rate contract which was
approved pursuant to this section after the primary term of the contract has
ended, the utility and transportation customer must jointly refile the
discounted rate contract or file a new discounted rate contract pursuant to
subsection 1.
