SUBJECT: IN THE MATTER OF INTERMOUNTAIN GAS COMPANY’S
APPLICATION TO REVISE ITS ELECTRONIC RECEIVER
TRANSMITTER DRIVE RATE PROGRAMMING AND VERIFICATION
PROCESS; CASE NO. INT-G-21-08

On December 6, 2021, Intermountain Gas Company (“the Company”) applied to
revise its current electronic receiver transmitter (“ERT”) drive rate and verification process.
Currently, the Company performs an audit on each ERT unit within thirty (30) days of installing
it to verify the programming rate and ensure that it matches the installed meter. The Company
has revised its procedures for verifying each ERT drive and meter and believes that because of
the procedural changes, the current 30-day audit is no longer necessary. The Company requests
that this matter be resolved through modified procedure.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the case be processed through Modified Procedure, with a
Staff and interested persons comment deadline of February 24, 2022, and a Company reply
deadline of March 3, 2022.
COMMISSION DECISION
Does the Commission wish to issue a Notice of Application and Notice of Modified
Procedure with a Staff and interested persons comment deadline of February 24, 2022, and a
Company reply deadline of March 3, 2022?
