26 Del. Admin. Code § 1002-B-1.0 - Instructions
In order for the Commission to schedule its future workload in an efficient manner, every public utility shall file with the Commission a Notice of Intent to file a general rate increase application not less than two (2) months prior to filing its application or notice of increase. If a regulated company cancels, changes or delays a proposed general rate increase application previously reported to the Commission, an amended report must be filed promptly reflecting such change of plans.
The information required in subsequent sections of Part B is to be filed with the Commission at the time of the utility's application for an increase in rates.
If the utility plans to submit prepared testimony and exhibits, they must be filed coincident with the filing of the application for rate relief.
The Commission Staff will review all filings for compliance with the format and instructions furnished herein and, within fifteen (15) days after the date of filing, specifically identify any non-compliance with such format and instructions, and immediately request the Commission Secretary to promptly notify the utility of the alleged defects in compliance. Following such notification by the Commission's Secretary, the utility shall have fifteen (15) days within which to correct the alleged defects; and only upon the utility's filing of the corrected application shall such application be deemed filed with the Commission for the purposes contemplated under the Public Utilities Act. In the event the alleged defects are not corrected within the time provided hereunder, Staff may move the Commission to reject the utility's application for non-compliance with these Minimum Filing Requirements.
Nothing in this section 1.5 shall prevent a utility from filing an application in draft form for Staff's informal review and approval without prejudice, such informal review and approval not to be unreasonably withheld by Staff, nor shall section 1.5 affect or delay the filing date, for the purposes contemplated under the Public Utilities Act, of rate applications that comply with the format and instructions furnished herein, or whose non-compliance with such format and instructions is deemed minor by the Commission or its Staff.
