______________________________
)ORDER NO.33330
Washington &Idaho Railway (“Railroad”)is a regional rail shipper headquartered in
Rosalia,Washington,operating in portions of Washington,Idaho,and Montana.The Railroad is
a “railroad corporation,”and a “common carrier”as defined by Idaho Code §6 1-111 and 61-
113.As such,the Company is a public utility subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission.
Idaho Code §6 1-129.This matter comes before the Commission due to the Railroad’s failure to
report its intrastate operating revenues for calendar years 2013 and 2015,and pay its regulatory
fees for 2012,2013,2014,and 2015,as required by Idaho Code §61-1001 through 61-1003.
BACKGROUND
1.Commission Regulatory fees
The Commission’s operating funds are derived by assessing regulatory fees upon
utilities and railroads subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction.Each year,the Legislature
authorizes the Commission to expend funds necessary to regulate and supervise utilities and
railroads doing business in Idaho.Idaho Code §61-1001.The maximum annual assessment fee
for each railroad shall not exceed one percent (1%)of its gross intrastate operating revenues,and
the minimum annual fee shall be no less than $50.Idaho Code §6 1-1004(1).
Idaho Code §61-1003 requires that,“[o]n or before April 1st of each year,each
public utility and railroad corporation subject to the jurisdiction of the commission,shall file
with the commission a return verified by an officer or agent of the public utility or railroad
corporation involved,showing its gross operating revenues from its intrastate utility or railroad
business in Idaho for the preceding calendar year during which it carried on such intrastate utility
or railroad business.”
Idaho Code §61-1001 requires that “[ejach railroad corporation,subject to the
jurisdiction of the commission,and subject to the provisions of this act,shall pay to the

commission in each year,a special regulatory fee in such amount as the commission shall find
and determine to be necessary,together with the amount of all other fees paid or payable to the
commission by each such public utility and railroad corporation....“See also Idaho Code §61-
1005.
Once all the railroads have reported their intrastate operating revenues for the
previous calendar year,the Commission calculates the “proportional assessment that all railroad
corporations ...shall bear...in proportion to their respective gross operating revenues derived
from intrastate [railroad]business in Idaho for the preceding calendar year ....“Idaho Code §
61-1004.The Commission then notifies each railroad of its assessed regulatory fee no later than
May 1 of each year.Idaho Code §61-1005.The regulatory fee maybe paid to the Commission
in equal semi-annual installments due May 15 and November 15 of each year.Id.
Idaho Code §61-1004 sets forth the duties of the Commission with regard to the
determination of fees.With regard to the years in question,the Commission has fulfilled its
statutory requirements,and the rates set by the Commission were below the statutory maximum
of one percent (1%)of gross intrastate revenue.See Order Nos.32226 (April 22,2011),32522
(April 23,2012),32782 (April 19,2013),33081 (April 18,2014),and 33281 (April 20,2015).
In a Decision Memo dated May 25,2015,Commission Staff alleged that the Railroad
failed to file its annual revenue statements for calendar years 2013 and 2015.Staff further
alleged that the Railroad failed to pay its assessed fees for calendar years 2012,2013,2014,and
a portion of its 2015 assessment.1
The Commission has met its statutory duties in determining and assessing the
regulatory fees applicable to the Railroad.Barratt-Riley Affidavit.furthermore,on multiple
occasions,Commission Staff attempted to obtain the Railroad’s verified returns and collect
annual fees,sending invoices,demand letters,and notification that failure to comply may result
in legal action.See Exhibit No.1 to Barratt-Riley Affidavit.Nevertheless,the Railroad has
failed,refused,or neglected to meet the requirements of the statutes and Staffs demands that it
file annual returns and pay its outstanding regulatory fees.Id.
In summary,the Railroad has failed to file its statutorily required annual verified
return in 2013 and 2015.Each failure to file violates Idaho Code §6 1-1003.Also,the Railroad
Pursuant to Idaho Code §61-1005,the payment of fees is to be made semiannually.The first installment being
due by May 15th,and the second due by November 15th.

has failed to pay its statutorily required annual regulatory fees to the Commission in years 2012,2
2013,2014,and 2015.Id.Each failure to pay violates Idaho Code §61-1003.
In February 2014,the Railroad was assessed $59.84 in interest on its outstanding
balance of $997.31 (6%).Likewise,in January 2015,the Railroad was assessed $110.01 in
interest on its outstanding balance of $1,833.50 (6%).See Idaho Code §61-1005 (stating that
utilities and railroads failing to timely pay shall incur an annual fee of 6%interest on all unpaid
balances).
The Railroad’s current outstanding balance is $1,968.57.
JURISDICTIONAL STATEMENT
The Commission has jurisdiction in this matter pursuant to Idaho Code §61-101,et
seq.,including Idaho Code §61-501,which vests the Commission with the authority and
jurisdiction to supervise and regulate every public utility in the state.More specifically,Idaho
Code §6 1-701,et seq.,provides direction to the Commission relating to enforcement,penalties,
and interpretation of public utilities law.See also Idaho Code §6 1-1001 through 61-1005
(relating to regulatory fees of railroads).
CLAIMS
1.Count One:Violations of Idaho Code 61-1003
Idaho Code §61-1003 requires the Railroad to file annual verified returns showing
gross operating revenues from its railroad business in Idaho for the preceding calendar year
during which it carried on such intrastate railroad business.
The Railroad has failed or refused to file the annual verified return in years 2013 and
2015 in violation of Idaho Code §61-1003,with each “failure to file”creating a distinct and
2 In May 2012,the Railroad failed or refused to pay the mandatory regulatory fee of $947.31.This amount
represents an outstanding balance in May 2012.Barratt-Riley Affidavit.
In May 2013,the Railroad failed or refused to pay a regulatory fee of $50.00.Id.Fifty dollars represents the
minimum assessment because Commission Staff has been unable to calculate an accurate amount due the
Company’s failure to submit annual verified returns.Idaho Code §6 1-1004.
In August 2014,Washington &Idaho Railway was assessed a regulatory fee of $776.41,based on a late-filed
return showing gross intrastate revenue for 2013.Barratt-Riley Affidavit.This fee remains unpaid.Id.
In May 2015,the Railroad again failed to pay an annual regulatory fee of $50.00 —the minimum assessment due to
the continued failure of the Railroad to submit annual verified returns.Id.

and distinct offense”).
2.C’ou;tt Two:Violations ofIdaho Code 614001,61-1004,and 61-1005
Idaho Code §61-1001 and 61-1005 require that the Railroad pay to the Commission
an annual regulatory fee in a proportional amount based on the Railroad’s intrastate gross
operating revenues as reported in its annual verified return.
The Railroad has a long track record of failing to pay its annual regulatory fee:
1.In May and November 2012,the Railroad failed or refused to pay the
annual regulatory fee totaling $947.3 16 to the Commission in violation of
Idaho Code §61-1001 and 61-1005;
2.In May and November 2013 the Railroad failed or refused to pay its
minimum annual regulatory fee of $50.00 to the Commission in violation
of Idaho Code §61-1001 and 61-1005;
3.In August 2014,Washington &Idaho Railway was assessed a regulatory
fee of $776.41.In violation of Idaho Code §61-1001 and 61-1005,this
fee remains unpaid.
4.In April 2015,Washington &Idaho Railway was assessed its annual
regulatory fee of $50.00.8 On May 16,2015,the first installment of at
least $25 became past due.The second installment is due by November
15,2015.
See Barratt-Riley Affidavit.Because of the Railroad’s failure to pay its annual regulatory fees,it
has incurred $169.85 in fees.9 At the time of the entry of this Order,Washington &Idaho
Railway owes the Commission $1,968.57 in regulatory fees and interest charges.Id.
ORDER
Accordingly,based on the evidence before the Commission,and good cause
appearing,IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Washington &Idaho Railway shall appear before
6 This amount represents an outstanding balance for failing to pay in years prior to 2012.
The $50 amount represents the minimum assessment because Commission Staff is unable to calculate an accurate
assessment amount due to Railroad’s failure to submit annual verified returns.
8 The $50 amount represents the minimum assessment because Commission Staff is unable to calculate an accurate
assessment amount due to Railroad’s failure to submit annual verified returns.
Idaho Code §6 1-1005 requires that any outstanding balances be charged an annual fee of 6%interest on the
balance.

Attn:Donna Patterson
Dear Ms.Patterson:
Enclosed is a copy of the Idaho Public Utilities Commission’s (Commission)statement detailing
the delinquent assessments owed by the Washington &Idaho Railway (Company)to the
Commission.The Company has failed to pay either the 2013 or the 2014 assessments.
The purpose of this letter is to request that Washington &Idaho Railway immediately pay the
overdue balance of $1,833.56 within 10 days of the receipt of this letter or the Commission will
use its statutory authority to seek this amount.
Idaho Code 61-1005 provides that “(U)pon failure,refusal or neglect of any public utility or
railroad corporation to pay such fee the attorney general shall commence an action in the name
of the state to collect the same.”In the event this legal assessment is not paid with the 10 days
allowed,the Commission will ask the attorney general to begin the necessary legal action to
collect this amount.The delinquent amount is continuing to accrue interest at the legal rate of
6%per annum until such time as the full amount shall be paid.Idaho Code §61-1005.
Additionally,the payment of this assessment does not relieve the Company of its ongoing legal
obligation to report its annual assessment for 2015.The form for the 2015 assessment will be
mailed in approximately one month,and the return needs to be filed with the Commission on or
before April 1,2015.
If you need to contact someone at the Commission,you may speak with Maria Riley-Barratt at
208-334-0337.Thank you for your attention to this matter.
