OF THE COMMISSION STAFF.3

Preparer/Sponsorin g Witness cary
REQUEST NO. f36:
Please update the June 30, 2020 test year amounts in the workpapers and the
exhibits for the Opex Adjustments Summary Exhibit No. 10 and the Rate Base 2O2O
Exhibit No. 1 1 with December 31, 2O20 year-end amounts.
REVISED RESPONSE NO. 136:
Please see Attachment 1 and 2 to this response with Exhibit No. 10 updated with
December 31, 2020 year-end amounts and Exhibit No. 11 updated with actuals to
January 31,2021.
While updating the June 2020 test year amounts to 2020 year end, incorrect figures in
the Worker's compensation and General lnsurance reserve amounts were identified and
corrected, for adjustment 2 and 20. Payroll test year lncentives and Overtime figures
were incorrectly reflected in adjustment 1. The schedule has been revised, as a result
Fringe benefit transferred to capital and Payroll Tax adjustments are also updated,
adjustment 8 and Schedule 3 adjustment 2. The corrected adjustment schedules are
included in Attachment 1 with an updated Summary.
In updating the Rate Base Exhibit No. 11 with December 31, 2020 year end amounts,
the cost of removalwas inadvertently excluded from the total accumulated depreciation
and amortization as a result of an accounting change that took place in October 2020
reclassing the cost of removal previously included in the Utility Plant balance
Accumulated Depreciation to a separate cost of remova! regulatory asset account
(18608000). Please refer to Iine 5 of Exhibit No. 11 Schedule 2 herein included as
Attachment 2 where the cost of removal is now included as part of the accumulated
depreciation and amortization.
Attachment l Opex Adjustments updates to December 2020
Attachment 2 Rate Base updates to January 2021.
