Re: Case No. IPC-E-15-26 - Transfer and Sale of Certain Assets to the FBI –
Idaho Power Company’s Rule M Tariff Compliance Filing

Dear Ms. Jewell:

Idaho Power Company (“Company”) herewith transmits for filing a revised Rule M
pursuant to the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (“Commission”) Order No. 33514 in this
matter directing the Company to update its Rule M. In its order, the Commission stated
“We find it appropriate to consider the factors set forth in Section 61-328(3) as guidance
when evaluating a utility’s proposal to transfer assets that historically have been devoted
to serving only a single customer. According, we direct Idaho Power to file a revised tariff
Schedule M to reflect these findings.” Order No. 33514 at 9.

In compliance with the Commission Order, Idaho Power requests to update its Rule
M to remove Idaho Code § 61-328(3) as a provision that must be met for all sales of
facilities governed by Rule M and instead reference that the factors set forth in Idaho Code
§ 61-328(3) will be considered as a guide for the sale of Company-owned facilities
installed beyond the Point of Delivery under Section 3 of the rule.

If you have any questions regarding this compliance filing, please contact
Regulatory Analyst Zach Harris at 388-2305 or [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Lisa D. Nordstrom
