fiing containing proposèd revisions to the Company's Electric Service Schedules No.7, No. 7 A,
and No. 11 and Electric Service Regulation No. 12. Rocky Mountan Power hereby submits a
clean and legislative copy of each sheet containing proposed revisions and respectfully requests
Commission approval of these tariff modifications with a Februar 17,2012 effective date.
Rocky Mountain Power is requesting authority to update the securty area and street lighting
schedules and electric service regulation for street lighting to:
1. remove low pressure sodium vapor lamps from Schedule No. 7 and 7 A
2. specify no new service for customer owned / customer maintained energy only service;

6. add language on pole painting and light shielding;
7. propöses modifications to contract term to add minimum notification days for removal
and allocation of removal costs.
8. remove metal halide lamps from Schedule No. 11
Rocky Mountain Power submits the following proposed revisions to tariff sheets:
Third Revision of Electrc Service Schedule Sheet No. 7.1
Third Revision of Electric Service Schedule Sheet No. 7.4
Third Revision of Electric Service Schedule Sheet NO.7 A.4
First Revision of Electric Service Schedule Sheet NO.7 A.5

First Revision of Electric Service Regulation No. 12.9
First Revision of Electrc Service Regulation No. 12.10
First Revision of Electrc Service Regulation No. 12.11
Sheet No. 7.1 - Remove the Low Pressure Sodium Vapor Security Area Lighting from the
schedule.
Sheet No. 7.4 - Remove the Low Pressure Sodium Vapor lamps from the schedule and add that
no new service will be accepted for the customer owned, customer maintained energy only
service. Add a customer service contact number and clarify the Company's obligation for repair,
maintenance, painting, and shielding for street lights.
Sheet No.7 A4 - Remove the Low Pressure Sodium Vapor lamps from the schedule.
Sheet No.7 A5 - Add provisions for inoperable lights, maintenance of lighting service,
temporar disconnect and reconnection of service, pole repainting and glare or vandalism
shields.
Sheet No. 11.1 - Metal Halide lamps have become more expensive and difficult to maintain as a
result of energy efficiency legislation that required manufacturers to transition to ~~pulse star"
compatible luminaire designs. This and the lack of customer acceptance of these options have
resulted in the Company deciding to remove Metal Halide from their equipment standards.
Sheet No.1 1.2 - Add a customer service contact number and clarify the Company's obligation
for repair of inoperable street lights. Also clarfy that premature replacement of fuctioning
luminares at the request of the customer is the cost responsibilty of that customer; however, if
there is an increase in revenue over the current light fixtue revenue, they will receive an
allowance based upon the increase.
Sheet No. 11.3 - Clarify the Company's obligation for repair, maintenance, painting, and
shielding for street lights. Modify the temporary suspension of service and removal of street
lights. Primarily as a result of economic uncertainties, the company is fielding numerous
inquiries from customers contemplating having a number of lights temporarily disconnected in
order to reduce billng obligations. These changes specify cost obligations for such requests and
the on-going biling obligations for facilities in a temporarily disconnected status. The revision
also provides the Company with the latitude to remove facilities that sit idle after twelve months
Sheet No. 12R.7 - Due to modifications paragraph 3(t) no longer fits on the sheet and is moved
to the next sheet.
Sheet No. 12R.8 - Modify paragraph 3(t) to clarfy that the customer advance for street lighting
line extension is nonrefundable and that facilities charges and contract minimum bilings do not apply
to street lighting.
Sheet No. 12R.9 - Due to modifications paragraph 3(t) paragraph 4(d) no longer fits on the sheet
and is moved to the next sheet.
