NEGOTIATED RULEMAKING-WRITTEN SUMMARY
Pursuant to I.C. * 67-5220(3)(f), the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (IPUC) provides the
following written summary of unresolved issues, key infonnation considered, and conclusions
reached during and as a result of the negotiated rulernaking in Case No. RUL-U-22-01.
Backsroutd
On January 16,2020,Idaho Governor Brad Little issued Executive Order No. 2020-0l "Zero-
Based Regulation." The Executive Order directs agencies to review their adminishative rules
over a five-year period and gives the Division of Financial Management (DFM) authority to
"develop a standardized process for the required retrospective analysis." Executive Order No.
2020-Ol directs an agency wishing to renew a rule chapter to take the following steps:
The agency must perform a retrospective analysis of the rule chapter to
determine whether the benefits the rule intended to achieve are being
realized, whether those benefits justify the costs of the rule, and whether
there are less-restrictive alternatives to accomplish the benefits. This
analysis should be guided by the legislative intent afticulated in the statute
or act giving the agency the authority to promulgate the rule.
...Agencies should start the new rulemaking from a zero-base and not
seek to simply reauthorize their existing rule chapter without a critical and
comprehensive review. ...
The Executive Order notes that the purpose for each finalized rule chapter is that it "reduce the
overall regulatory burden, or remain neutral, as compared to the previous rule chapter." In short,
Executive Order No. 2020-01 directs each agency to look at its statutory authority to promulgate
rules and cut down its rules to more cleanly and clearly achieve the statute-based purpose of
those rules.
DFM published a schedule for agencies to review their mles over a five-year period. For 2022,
the IPUC is scheduled to review IDAPA 3 I .61 .01, Rules for the Measurement of Stray Current
or Voltage (The Stray Voltage Rules).
Procedural oventiew
At its March9,2022 decision meeting, the Commission directed Commission Staff (Staff) to
submit the necessary forms to publish a Notice of Negotiated Rulemaking in the Administrative
Bulletin. The Commission authorized Staffto conduct negotiated rulemaking consistent with I.C
* 67-5220 and Executive Order No. 2020-01.
A Commission docket was subsequently opened, and the Notice of Negotiated Rulemaking was
published in April 2022 Administrative Bulletin. The Notice of Negotiated Rulemaking
I
scheduled a public meeting for May 4,2022 and explained how written comments could be
submitted.
May 4. 2022 negotiated rulemakins meeting
The negotiated rulemaking meeting was attended by the following persons:
Idaho Power Company: Lisa Nordshom, Riley Maloney and Paul Ortmann
Rocky Mountain Power / PacifiCorp: Will Smittr
Commission Staft Stephen Goodson, Dayn Hardie, Daniel Klein, Joshua Haver, Riley
Newton and Chris Burdin
Prior to the public hearing Avista, Idaho Power and the Idaho Dairymen's Association
(Commenters) filed joint comments.
The Commenters reviewed and supported the Commission Staffs draft revisions to the Stray
Voltage Rules. The Commenters also identified additional opportunities to further streamline the
Stray Voltage Rules, effectively reducing unnecessary text, and provided minor clarifications to
better align the Stray Voltage Rules with practical field application.
Joint Comments can be found on the C'ontnrission's rvebsite.
The three-member Commission will review the drafts of TDAPA 31.61.01-as well as this
written summary, Executive Order 2020-01, and DFM's related memorandums to agencies. The
Commission will then determine where it agrees with StafPs resolutions to stakeholder
recommendations. The Commission may also choose to modiff Staffs proposed draft of IDAPA
31.61.01 as it thinlcs best.
