PETITION FOR EXTENSION OF FERC FORM 2 DEADLINE - Page I
I5073494_3_INT-G-20- FERC Form 2 Extensim (Clean)
ln support of this Petition, Intermountain alleges and states as follows:
I. INTRODUCTION
Intermountain is required to file its completed FERC Form 2 with the Commission by April
l5 of eachyear.
In following the Govemor's Stay-Home order, all non-essential stafffor lnterrnountain are
currently working from home. This includes the Company's Accounting personnel that complete
the FERC Form 2. Because the software used to complete the report is relatively old, printing the
completed report to an electonic format for submission is not possible.
The Company requests that the deadline for filing the2020 FERC Form 2 report be
extended from April 15,2020 to April 30,2020. Assuming the Govemor's Stay-Home order is
lifted by April 20, 2020,the April 30, 2020 deadline should allow adequate time for the Company to
print and file the report. If the Stay-Home Order extends past April 20,2020 and the Company is
unable to file the report by April 30,2020,the Company will make another extension request to the
Commission.
II. MODF'IED PROCEDI'RE
Interrnountain requests that this matter be handled under modified procedure pursuant to
Rules 201-204 of the Commission's Rules of Procedure. lntermountain stands ready for immediate
consideration of this matter.
III. REQUEST FOR RELIEF
lntermountain respectfully petitions the Idaho Public Utilities Commission to issue an Order
authorizing an extension of the filing deadline for the Company's FERC Form 2 from April 15,
2020to April30,2020.
