In the Matter of the Petition of Questar Gas
Company to Clarify the Boundaries of Its
Service Territory
CASE NO: QST-G-I5-01
QUESTAR GAS COMPANY'S PETITION
TO CLARIFY THE BOUNDARIES OF ITS
SERVICE TERRITORY
Pursuant to Idaho Public Utilities Commission Rule of Procedure 53, Questar Gas
Company ("Questar Gas" or "Company"), hereby petitions the Idaho Public Utilities
Commission (o'Commission") to issue an Order more clearly describing the boundaries of
Questar Gas' certificated service territory to include all of Franklin County, Idaho. In support of
this request, Questar Gas states as follows:
On June 7, 1990, Mountain Fuel Supply Company, Questar Gas' predecessor in interest,
submitted an Application for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity in Case No.
MOU-G-gO-lto provide natural gas service to customers in southeastern Idaho (the
"Application"). A copy of that Application is attached hereto as Exhibit A. In paragraph 2 of
the Application, Mountain Fuel asked for approval to provide "natural gas service to
QUESTAR GAS COMPANY'S PETITION TO CLARIFY
THE BOUNDARIES OF ITS SERVICE TERRITORY
communities in Franklin County, the town of Franklin, the city of Preston, and other
communities in the vicinity of the proposed extension where service is determined to be
economically feasible." Exhibit A, page 2.
On August 16, 1990, the Commission issued Order No.23282 in that same docket. A
copy of that Order is attached hereto as Exhibit B, for the convenience of the Commission. In
the Order, the Commission approved the Application and stated that "the Commission finds it
reasonable to issue a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Mountain Fuel Supply
Company, its successors and assigns, to hold, construct or otherwise acquire and to maintain and
operate a general natural gas transmission and distribution system in the southeast Idaho County
of Franklin and the Franklin County Cities of Franklin and Preston, for the supplying of natural
gas to the municipalities and rural areas situated and to the inhabitants thereof. . . ." Exhibit B at
p. 6. The Commission also issued Certificate 315, granting Questar Gas'predecessor a
Certificate to serve these areas. A copy of Certificate 315 is attached as Exhibit C, for the
Commission's convenience.
Since that time, Mountain Fuel Supply Company and its successor, Questar Gas, have
served the southern Idaho communities of Preston and Franklin. Recently, entities in Dayton,
Idaho, a community in Franklin County, have approached Questar Gas seeking extension of
natural gas service to the area. Questar Gas is amenable to serving Dayton, provided that it is
economically feasible to do so. Dayton is unlikely to obtain natural gas service if Questar Gas
does not construct facilities to the city. A search of the Idaho Commission's website showing
Idaho utilities by city revealed that Questar Gas is the closest utility to Dayton but service in
Franklin County is not specifically mapped or identified. Though Questar Gas believes the
QUESTAR GAS COMPANY'S PETITION TO CLARIFY
THE BOUNDARIES OF ITS SERVICE TERRITORY
Order provides it with authority to serve Dayton, and other communities within Franklin County,
it requests that the Commission clariff the boundaries of Questar Gas' service territory.
The records attached hereto reflect a Commission intent that Questar Gas be authorized
to serve all of Franklin County and, therefore, Questar Gas believes that the public interest does
not require a hearing on the matter.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Therefore, Questar Gas respectfully requests that the Commission clarifr that the
boundaries of Questar Gas' service territory plainly include the whole of Franklin County, Idaho.
Questar Gas further requests that the Commission do so utilizing modified procedure pursuant to
Idaho Public Utilities Commission Rules of Procedure2}I et seq.

APPLICATION OF MOUNTAIN
FUEL SUPPLY COMPANY
FOR A CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC
CONVENIENCE AI{D NECESSITY
DOCKET NO. Jrr0u_e _ {0_l
APPLICATION
)
)
)
)
)
Mountain Fuel Supply Company (Mountain Fuel or Company) submits
this Application for a C-ertificate of Public C.onvenience and Necessity, pursuant to
Idaho C.ode S 61-526 (1988), to permit the Crmpany to construct facilities required
to provide natural gas service in southeastern Idaho on terms described in this
application. In support of this application, Mountain Fuel respectfully states as
follows:
1. Mountain Fuel is a Utah corporation qualified to do business in
the state of Idaho. Its principal place of business is located at 180 East First
South Streeg Salt Iake City, Utah. It is presently engaged in the business of
distributing natural gas as a public utility in the states of Utah and Wyoming. A
copy of Mountain Fuel's articles of incorporation is incorporated as Exhibit A in
Attachment 1, Mountain Fuel's abbreviated application to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) for the expedited issuance of a certificate of
public convenience and necessity and determination of service area (Docket No.
cPe0-_-m0).
2. Mountain Fuel proposes to extend its natural gas distnlbution
system from northern Utah into Franklin C.ounty in southeastern Idaho for the
purpose of providing natural gas service to communities in Franklin C-ounty, the
town of Franklin, the city of Preston, and other communities in the vicinity of the
proposed extension where service is determined to be economically feasible. A
map of Mountain Fuel's proposed transmission line, which consists of approximately
11.0 miles of 8" high-pressure distribution mainline, is attached as Exhibit F in
Attachment 1. The exact location of the lines or facilities depends upon the
character and condition of the terrain and the acquisition of the required ease-
ments and rights-of-way.
3. Mountain Fuel has available the gas supply required to serve the
residents of the named communities. See Exhibits G-1, G-2, and H of Attach-
ment 1.
4. Mountain Fuel is financially able to construct the proposed exten-
sion of its distribution system. The costs of the construction of the pipeline are set
forth in Exhibit K of Attachment 1. The cost to construct the appurtenant dis-
tnbution facilities in Idaho, as shown on Attachment 4, is approximately $1,546,230.
-2-
Applicant proposes to finance the construction of the facilities through internally
generated funds. The financial condition of the Company as of December 31,
1989, is shown on F.xhibit L of Attachment 1.
5. Natural gas service is not presently being rendered in the commu-
nities to be served by the proposed extension of Mountain Fuel's distribution
system. The operation of the proposed distnbution q6tem, therefore, will not
compete with any other person rendering natural gas service or any natural gas
public utility, and the extension of Mountain Fuel's distn'bution system will not
interfere with the operation of the line, plant or system of any other public utility.
6. Mountain Fuel proposes to provide service to Idaho residents on
the same basis and in accordance with the same policies and tariff provisions that
are in effect for Utah customers. Mountain Fuel proposes that its performance
under the requested certificate to provide service be conditioned on the execution
of a contract between the Idaho Public Utilities Commission and the Utah Public
Service C-ommission for the provision of regulatory oversight in accordance with
Idaho C,ode $ 61-505 (1990). Such contract will allow the Company to provide
natural gas service in the expansion area in accordance with its existing Utah tariff
as approved by the Utah C,ommission for other expansion areas served in that state
by Mountain Fuel. The contract should have a primary term equal to the period
in which expansion rates are in place. The contract should provide for its auto-
matic renewal for additional lGyear terms in the absence of notice of termination
by either parly to the contract.
-3-
7. Mountain Fuel has three expansion-area rate classes: GS-S for all
firm service, I-S for intemrptible sales customers, and IT-S for intemrptible trans-
portation customers. These rates were derived by increasing the non-gas rate
components and leaving the supplier non-gas costs and commodity gas rate com-
ponents identical to rates charged in Mountain Fuel's other service areas. To com-
pare expansion area rates with standard rates, see Attachment \ Mountain Fuel's
tariff for gas service in the state of UtatU PSCU #20fJ,, current as of the date of
this application. The initial rates are proposed to be in effect for 10 full calendar
years from the commencement of service in southeastern Idaho. Assuming service
would be available before the end of 1990, the GS-S, I-S, and IT-S rates would be
in effect until December 31, 2000. At the end of the lG'year perio4 Idaho
customers would be converted to then-current standard Utah tariff rates.
8. Mountain Fuel proposes to satis$ any Idaho Commission public
utility reporting requirements by providing a copy of the Company's annual report
of its operations (in FERC Form 2 format), which is filed with the Utah C,ommis-
sion. Mountain Fuel's 1989 report is included as Attachment 3. Future reports
will be supplemented with customer, sales, and revenue data specifically relating to
Company operations in ldaho.
9. The main extension policy for the expansion area will provide for a
combined footage allowance of 200 feet of main and service line during the initial
sign-up period. Customers will be required to make a contribution in aid of
construction if the combined total mainline and service line footage required
-4-
,i
exceeds the 20G,foot allonance. After the initial construction period, efiensions
will be made according to the C-ompany's standard policy as contained in its then-
effective Utah tariff. The present policy provides for lfi) feet of main line and 45
feet of service line to be provided at no cost to customers.
10. There is a demand for natural gas service for domestic, com-
mercial, and other uses in the communities described in this application. The
public convenience and necessity will be served by the granting of this application.
The construction of natural gas distribution facilities will contnlbute to the general
prosperity and economic welfare of communities in Franklin County, Idaho, and
will make the advantages of clean and economical natural gas service available to
many who desire such service but are not now receiving it.
11. Mountain Fuel has received from the affected counties, cities,
towns, or other public authorities the franchises required for the construction and
operation of Mountain Fuel's pipelines and other facilities. The franchises granted
to date, by Franklin C-ounty, the town of Franklin and the city of Preston, are
included as Exhibit 7-3 to Attachment 1.

On June 8, 1990, Mountain Fuel Supply Company (Mountain Fuel;
Company), a Utah corporation qualified to do business in the State of ldaho, filed
aD Application with the Idaho Public Utilities Cornmission (Commission)
: requesting a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to operate as a
natural gas corporation and public utility in the State of Idaho, and authority to
construct facilities required to provide natural gas senrice in southeastern ldaho.
Reference I.C. $61-526 (1988). The principal ofHce of Mountain Fuel is located at
180 East First South, P.O. Box 11368, Salt Lake City, Utah 84139.
The Company is engaged in the business of distributing natural gas as
a public utility in the states of Utah and 'Wyorning. The Co-pany proposes to
extend its natural gas distribution system from northern Utah into Franklin
County in southeastern Idaho and the Franklin County cities of Franklin and
Preston. The exact location of the lines or facilities depends upon the character
and condition of the terraio and the acquisition of the required easements and
rights of way. The Company has already obtained the pertinent franchise
agreements for its i',r;ediate propo"ra."roi.l r""..
A review of the doqmentation provided reveals that Mountain Fuel has
the internal finansial resources to construct the proposed 11 mile extension of its
distribution system from Richmond, Utah into Idaho at a cost of approximately
m
ORDER NO. 23282
$1,546,230. It also has adequate natural gas resenres for the proposed seryice
area with projections of approximately 1,000 general service customers.
Estimated annual sales are 1.5 millien, therms with an estimated _daily peak
requirement of 13,000 therns. As evidenced by the filings of record, Mountain
Fuel also appears able and willing to do the acts and perform the service
proposed.
As previously represented by the Cornmission in its letter to the FERC,
construction and extension of facilities into the proposed service area will enable
Mountain Fuel to senre what is, to date, an unsatisfied market demand for
natural gas sales and transportation service. As represented by Mountain Fuel,
natural gas service'is not now rendered in the proposed seryice area. We
therefore frnd that operation of the proposed distribution system will not compete
or interfere with any other person rendering natural gas service or with the
operation of any other natural gas public utility.
Mountain Fuel proposes to provide service to Idaho customers on the
same basis and in accordance with the same policies and tariff provisions, rates,
charges and service regulations adopted by the Utah Public Service Cornrnission
(UPSC) for the Compauy's sirnilarly situated Utah orstomers. 1's acsemplish
this end, Mountain Fuel conditions its initial performance under the requested
Idaho Certificate on the execution of a regulatory service contract between the
Idaho Public Utilities Cornmission and the Utah Public Service Cornrnission in
accordance with Idaho Code 561-505. We lind this condition to be reasonable and
have already negotiated and signed on this date a regulatory service contract
with the Utah Public Service Cornmission. Attachment A We speeifically note
that any termination of the Contract for Regulatory Senrices pursuant to its
oRDER NO. 23282 o
terms and./or applicable laws will not, in and of itself, affect the continuing
statutoiy obligation of Mountain Fuel under its Idaho Certificate to operate and
provide natural gas service in Idaho
This Qemmission has long recognized that the provision of utility
service to small border communities by a willing out-of-state utility can be
facilitated by entering into a regulatory service contract with the regulatory
agency of the neighboring state in which the utility has greater presence. Such
contracts reduce the regulatory costs to the utility and enhance the expansion of
service across state boundaries. To that end we successfully presented to the
Idaho Legislature enabling legislation in 1982 and further refinements in 1990.
See I.C. 61-505. We are pleased that these efforts and the willingness of
Mountain Fuel Supply Company and the Utah Public Service Cornmission have
made possible this opportunity to extend natural gas senrice into Franklin
County. Its availability is a sigufficant enhancement to southeastern Idaho's
economy.
The Idaho Commission by contract will permit the UPSC to perform the
regulatory duties for the Idaho expansion-area served by Mountain Fuel.
Affected. Idaho residents will have fuU rights of participation in the hearings
coaducted by the UPSC, as well as the same rights that customers in Utah have
to pursue service related issues. The full spectrr:m of consumer representation in
Utah before the UPSC is performed by the Division of Public Utilities and the
Comrnittee of Consumer Services. AII frndings, decisions and orders of the UPSC
will be accorded the presunption that they are both reasonable and correct. All
remedies with Mountain tr\rel aud the UPSC must be exhausted before the Idaho
Cornrnissiou will entertain any review; and the Idaho Cornrnission will only
review in instances where discrininatory, preferential or otherwise unlawful
treatment of Idaho customers by the UPSC is alleged.
-3-ORDER NO. 23282
As intended by the Company, the regulatory service contract will allow
Mountain Fuel to provide natural gas service in its Idaho expansion-area in
accordance with the Company's existing. Utah tariffs for Utah expansion-areas.
Morrntain Fuel has three expansion-area rate classes: GS-S for all frrm service,
I-S for intermptible sales customers, and IT-S for inter-uptible transportatiou
customers. Copies of the Company's existing Utah standard and expansion-area
tariffrates are attached for review. Attachment B. The expansion-area rates are
derived by iucreasing the distribution non-gas rate components and leaving the
supplier non-gas costs and comnodity gas rate components identical to standard
rates charged in Mountain Fuel's other service areas. The expansion-area rates
are proposed to be in effect for ten full calendar years from the cornrnencement of
serrrice in southeastern ldaho. At the end of the ten year period, Idaho crrstomers
will be converted to then-current standard Utah tariffrates.
Staff has reviewed the Mountain Fuel tariff provisions concerning
connection charges, interest on past due bills, NSF check charges, meter test
charges, interest on deposits, etc. Staff has also reviewed the UPSC customer
service rules. Although frnding the policies, practices and rules different than
similar charges, conditions and rules approved for Idaho utilities, Staff
represents them to be nevertheless reasonable. We consur with Staff.
Staff expressed a specific concern, however, regarding the
inconsistencies in the winter moratorium policies of Idaho and Utah. Utah's
policy (by statute rather than UPSC rrle) requires LIHEAP qualification of
eligible customers by the Utah Department of Soeial Services. Pursuant to
negotiation and regulatory contract the Commission's Idaho moratorium policy,
IDAPA 31.C.3.6, will apply toMf Mountain Fuel.
oRDER NO. 23282
As proposed, the main extension policy for the Idaho expansion area
will provide for a combined footage allowance of 200 feet of main and service line
during the initial sign up period. A contribution in aid of constnrction will be
required for excess footage. After the initial construction period exbensions will
be made according to the Company's standard Utah policy, which presently
provides for an allowance of 100 feet of main and 45 feet of service line.
The Cornmission by Notice and Order No. 23252 issued August 1, 1990
preliminarily found that the public interest regarding the requested Certificate of
Public Convenience and Necessity would not require a public heariug to consider
the issues presented. The Comrnission further found it reasonable to process the
Application under Modifred Procedure, i.e., by written submission rather than by
hearing. Reference Comrnission Rules of Practice and Procedure, IDAPA
31.A.23. The Cornrnission received no written protest or cornments opposing the
use of 14sdified Procedure. Reference IDAPA 31.4.23.3. TV'e therefore find it
reasonable to decide this matter and issue our order in Case No. MOU-G-90-1 on
the basis of the filings of record. R.eference IDAPA 3L.A.23.4.
fhg Qqrnmission based on its review of the filings of record in Case No.
MOU-G-90-1 makes the following findings:
. That Mountain Fuel has the ability and willingness to
do the acts and perform the service proposed.
r That the proposed extension of natural gas distributionfacilities and service into Franklin Couoty will meet
present and future public convenience and necessity. '-
r That the construction and extension of natural eas
distribution facilities into Franklin County will enatrle
Mountain Fuel to serve what is to date an unsatisfred
market demand for natural gas sales and transportation
serrtice.
-5-oRDER NO. 23282
That Mountain Fuel has the internal fiuancial resourcesto constmct the proposed extension of its distribution
system and adequate natural gas reserves to serve the
proposed service area.
That it is impracticable or not in the public interest to
conduct regulatory proceedings for affected Franklin
County residents separate from the proceedings
conducted by the UPSC for Mountain Fuel Supply
Company's Utah customers.
That it is reasonable to require as a condition of
Certificate issuance that Mountain Fuel be permitted to
satisfy utility reporting requirements in Idaho by filingits FERC Form 2 on a total system basis with an
Idaho-specific section consisting of pages 300-301
(operating revenues) ar.d204-209 (gas plant in service).
That it is reasonable to'require that a toll-free number
be provided for Idaho customers of Morr.Dtain Fuel toreach the Utah Public Senrice Qernrnigsflen, the
Cornmittee of Consumer Services, the Division of Public
Utilities and Mountaio Fuel.
That it is reasonable to require that ldaho's moratorium
rules should apply to Idaho residential customers of
Mountain Fuel. See IDAPA 31.C.3.6.
. That it is reasonable to require that Idaho customers of
Mountain Fuel be provided with the full spectrum of
corulumer representation in Utah including the Divisionof Public Utilities and the Cornrnittee of Consumer
Services.
In consideration of the foregoing the Cornmission finds it reasonable to
issue a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to Mountain Fuel Supply
Company, its successors and assigns, to hold, constmct or otherwise acquire and
to maintain and operate a geueral natural gas transrnigsion and distribution
system in the southeast Idaho County of Franklin and the Franklin County cities
of Franklin and Preston, for the supplying of natural gas to the municipalities
and nrral areas situated therein aad to the inhabitants thereof; and for such
purpose to own, hold, constnrct or otherwise acquire and to maintain and operate
within said certifrcated area all plant necessary for the maintenance of a
-6-oRDER NO. 23282
natural gas transmission and distribution system, and to exercise all rights and
privileges granted, or which may hereafter be granted Mountain Fuel Supply
Company, its successors and assignt !y franchises or otherwise by the said
county and municipalities or any of them or by the State of Idaho or by any
political subdivision of the State of Idaho.
ORDER
In consideration of the foregoing, and as more particularly described
above, IT IS IIEREBY ORDERED that the Application of Mountain Fuel Supply
Company in Case No. MOU-G-9A-L for a Certifieate of Public Convenience and
Necessity to operate as a natural gas corporation and public utility in the State
of Idaho, and authority to construct facilities required to provide natural gas
service in Franklin, Count5r, Idaho, and the l'lanklin County cities of Franklin
and Preston be granted. Reference Certificate No. 315.
