PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
NOTICE OF SECOND PROPOSED RULEMAKING
GAS TARIFF 97-3, IN THE MATTER OF THE APPLICATION OF WASHINGTON GAS LIGHT COMPANY FOR AUTHORTY TO AMEND ITS RATE SCHEDULES FOR NOS. 3, 3A, AND 6
1. The Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia (Commission) hereby gives notice, pursuant to section 34-802 of the District of Columbia Official Code, and in accordance with section 2-505 of the District of Columbia Official Code,[1] of its intent to act upon the Application of Washington Gas Light Company (“WGL” or “Company”) in not less than thirty (30) days from the date of publication of this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) in the D.C. Register.
2. A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was originally published in the D.C. Register on March 18, 2011, at 58 DCR 2509. This proposed rulemaking supersedes the previous Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published in the D.C. Register by replacing a tariff page.
3. On February 18, 2011, WGL filed a revised tariff application for Rate Schedule No. 3, Interruptible Sales Services; Rate Schedule No. 3A, Interruptible Delivery Services; and Rate Schedule No. 6, Small Commercial Aggregation Pilot.[2] On March 21, 2011, WGL filed a corrected page for the revised tariff application that replaces the last page of Attachment D (WGL’s Calculation of Transportation and Fuel Costs per Dth Delivered) which was included in error. Inasmuch as the filing has changed to include a replacement page to Attachment D, the Commission is now seeking comment on the revised tariff application inclusive of the corrected page.
4. WGL seeks to change certain aspects of its Interruptible Sales Services; its current Interruptible Delivery Service Balancing Methodology; and a gradual phase-out of customers taking service under Rate Schedule No. 3.[3] Additionally, WGL proposes to re-caption Rate Schedule No. 6 to “Interruptible Delivery Service Gas Supplier Agreement” in recognition of the fact that the Small Commercial Aggregation Pilot is no longer a pilot program.[4] Proposed Schedule No. 6 will incorporate all aspects of the Interruptible Delivery Service Gas Supplier Agreement as well as the aforementioned proposed changes regarding Interruptible Sales Service.[5]
5. The Application is on file with the Commission and may be reviewed at the Office of the Commission Secretary, 1333 H Street, N.W., Second Floor, West Tower, Washington, D.C. 20005, between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, or may be viewed on the Commission’s website at www.dcpsc.org. Copies of the tariff pages are also available upon request, at a per-page reproduction cost.
6. Comments on the proposed Revised Tariff Application must be made in writing to Dorothy Wideman, Commission Secretary, at the above address. All comments must be received within thirty (30) days of the date of publication of this NOPR in the D.C. Register. Reply Comments may be filed within forty-five (45) days of the publication of the NOPR. Once the comment period has expired, the Commission will take final action on WGL’s Revised Tariff Application.
