Close Meeting/Misc. 1 Overview What is it? A special fee imposed to defray the costs of public utility regulation. Who determines and imposes the fee? The executive director of the Department of Commerce for the Department of Commerce. The chair of the Public Service Commission for the Public Service Commission. How much is the fee? For a public utility other than an electrical cooperative, the fee may not exceed the greater of .3% of the public utility's gross operating revenues for the preceding calendar year or $50. For an electrical cooperative, the fee may not exceed the greater of .15% of the electrical cooperative's gross operating revenues for the preceding calendar year or $50. What is included in gross operating revenue? The gross operating revenue for the preceding calendar year is derived from each public utility's business and operations during that period within this state, excluding income derived from interstate business and does not include income to a wholesale electric cooperative derived from the sale of power to a rural electric cooperative which resells that power within the state. When is it due? The fee is due and payable on or before July 1 of each year. What costs are the fee intended to cover? The fee is intended to provide all of the funds for the administration, support, and maintenance of: 1) the Public Service Commission; 2) state agencies within the Department of Commerce involved in the regulation of public utilities; and 3) expenditures by the attorney general for utility regulation. How is the revenue from the fee used? The revenue is deposited into the Public Utility Regulatory Restricted Account and is used by: 1) the Department of Commerce to administer the Division of Public Utilities and the Office of Consumer Services; and 2) the Public Service Commission to administer the Public Service Commission. What is the Supplemental Levy Committee? A committee created to levy additional assessments on public utilities when unanticipated costs of regulation occur in any fiscal year. The total of all fees imposed, including a supplemental fee imposed by the supplemental levy committee, is capped at the maximum .3% of the public utility's gross operating revenues for the preceding calendar year. 2 Year History of changes Citation • Public utilities regulatory fee enacted • Amount fixed and determined by the State Tax Commission as a uniform percentage of gross operating revenue of each utility for preceding calendar year derived from its public utility business within the state Laws of Utah (excludes income derived from interstate business) 1965 1965, Ch. • Deposited in the Public Service Commission Fund as dedicated credits 107, § 1 • Used for the purpose of defraying costs and expenses of regulating the public utilities doing business in the state • Fee may not exceed .25% (one quarter of one per centum) of its gross public utility operating revenue but minimum fee is $2. • Fee transferred to the General Fund rather than the Public Service Laws of Utah 1967 Commission Fund (unexpended revenues from the Public Service 1967, Ch.
