On November 13, 2000, Avista Corporation dba Avista Utilities—Washington Water
Power Division (Idaho) made a filing with the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (Commission)
requesting authority to add a new Section 6.3 to the Company’s Idaho Rules and Regulations:

When an account is initially established under any of the Rules and
Regulations, a Customer will be required to pay a service establishment
charge in the amount of $15.00.

The Company requests an effective implementation date of December 22, 2000.
The Commission finds it reasonable to process the Company’s Application in Case

rather than by hearing. Reference Commission Rules of Procedure, IDAPA 31.01.01.201-204.
To facilitate the processing of the Application under Modified Procedure and to accommodate

the proposed effective date from December 22, 2000 to Friday, January 26, 2001. Reference
IDAPA 31.01.01.134.02.
