RICHMOND — The State Corporation Commission (SCC) invites public comments on proposed revisions to the Commission’s rules governing utility rate increase applications.

The revisions accommodate statutory changes for electric utility rate adjustments enacted by the General Assembly in 2007. The need to make changes also provides the SCC an opportunity to update and reform the rules generally applicable to all utilities whose rates are subject to the Commission’s ratemaking authority.

Copies of the proposed rules are available for public inspection during regular business hours at the SCC’s Document Control Center on the first floor of the Tyler Building at 1300 East Main Street in downtown Richmond. Interested persons may also access copies of the proposed rules through the SCC’s Docket Search portal at http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case/index.aspx

Written comments on the revised rules and proposed modifications must be submitted by April 14, 2008. All correspondence should be sent to the Clerk of the State Corporation Commission, Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, VA 23218, and refer to case number PUE-2008-00001.

Interested persons desiring to submit comments electronically may do so at the SCC website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case/index.aspx. Click on the PUBLIC COMMENTS/NOTICES link and then the SUBMIT COMMENTS button for case number PUE-2008-00001.
