Iowa Admin. Code r. 199-26.3 - Tariffs required
(1)
Tariffs to be filed.
a. A
utility shall not make effective any new or changed rate, charge, schedule, or
regulation until it has been approved by the commission and the commission has
determined an effective date, except as provided in Iowa Code sections 476.6(8)
and 476.6(9). A proposed tariff consistent with this rule shall be filed with
an application for a new or changed rate, charge, schedule, or
regulation.
b. If the proposed new
or changed rate, charge, schedule, or regulation is neither rejected nor
approved by the commission, the commission will docket the tariff filing as a
formal proceeding within 30 days after the filing date.
c. Proposed new or changed rates, charges,
schedules, or regulations which contain energy efficiency expenditures and
related costs for demand-side programs shall not be included in a utility's
proposed tariff which relates to a general increase in revenue. A utility may
propose to recover the costs of process-oriented industrial assessments not
related to energy efficiency as defined in rule 199-35.2 (476).
d. The consumer advocate or any customer
affected by the filing may submit within 20 days after the filing date a
written objection to the filing and a written request that the commission
docket the filing. The commission may grant the request at its discretion. The
written objections and requests for docketing shall set forth specific grounds
relied upon in making the objection or request.
