Re: Case No. IPC-E-08-22 - Rule H
Idaho Power Company's Consent to Extend Rule H Tariff Effective Date
Dear Commissioners:
Under the provisions of Idaho Code § 61-626(2), hearings and filings on
reconsideration must take place within thirteen (13) weeks after the date petitions for
reconsideration were filed. The Commission must then issue its reconsideration order
within twenty-eight (28) days after the matter is fully submitted. Idaho Power Company
("Idaho Powet') is aware that the Commission may desire additional time after theNovember 1, 2009, effective date set forth in Order No. 30853 to prepare its
reconsideration order, which would be appropriate since the technical hearing transcript
and post-hearing briefs upon which the Commission wil base its order were filed earlier
this week.
Because the Commission stated in Order No. 30853, "IT IS FURTHER ORDERED
that the charges and credits authorized by this Order shall become effective for services
rendered on or after November 1, 2009" and denied the Building Contractors' Motion to
Stay, Idaho Power has been preparing to implement the new tariff on November 1.
However, Idaho Power hereby advises the Commission that it is wiling to consent to an
extension of the November 1, 2009, Rule H tariff effective date set forth in Order No. 30853
until December 1, 2009. Should the Commission decide to issue an order extending the
effective date until December 1, the Commission could use the full twenty-eight (28) days
to prepare its order with several subsequent days remaining for the Company to prepare
conforming tariffs and submit them for Commission approval in advance of the effective
date.
Very truly yours,
cÆtL,¡.~~
