This report is also available on our website: www.arkansas.gov/psc. The Commission does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, or disability in employment or in the provision of services. TABLE OF CONTENTS i ii INTRODUCTION The Commission has general regulatory authority over electric and natural gas public utilities and certain water and sewer public utilities providing retail utility services to the public for compensation. The Commission is charged with the duty of ensuring that public utilities provide safe, adequate, and reliable utility service at just and reasonable rates. By law, such rates must allow public utilities the opportunity to recover the prudently incurred cost of providing such service and a fair rate of return on capital invested by the utilities for providing such service. The Commission is also charged with the duty of ensuring that customers are not charged excessive rates for such service. The Commission’s Tax Division renders ad valorem tax assessments for utilities and carriers. The Tax Division submits a separate report biennially. During 2019, utilities under the Commission’s authority to review and regulate rates and practices included four investor‐owned electric companies, one generation and transmission electric cooperative, seventeen distribution electric cooperatives, four natural gas distribution companies, and one investor‐owned water company. The Commission has limited jurisdiction over two regional transmission organizations for matters other than rate regulation. The Commission further has authority over the safe operation of the intra‐state pipeline facilities of 148 natural gas operators and master meter gas operators. The Commission also has regulatory authority over certain practices and quality of service for 249 providers of telecommunication services. The Commission also certifies Transportation Network Companies and verifies ongoing compliance with the statutory requirements to operate. The Commission has limited jurisdiction over providers of telecommunications services, Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services, commercial radio services, or similar services to require annual reports and hear complaints on identifying and blocking telecommunications that violate certain state and federal laws on number spoofing. The Commission has no regulatory authority over municipally owned or operated utility services, wireless providers of telecommunication services, internet, VoIP service, cable, or satellite television services. In compliance with Arkansas Code Annotated §23‐2‐315, the Commission submits an Annual Report to the Governor containing a full and complete account of its transactions and proceedings for the preceding calendar year. This Annual Report focuses on the Commission’s regulatory authority, organization, and activities during calendar year 2019 as follows: • Section 1 provides commissioner profiles; • Section 2 describes the agency organization; • Section 3 describes the inaugural Diversity Summit; • Section 4 summarizes docket activity of Commission proceedings; • Section 5 describes other non‐docketed reviews; • Section 6 provides information on customer complaint resolution; • Section 7 summarizes the Commission’s efforts in federal utility proceedings; and • Section 8 sets forth participation in national utility regulatory organizations. 2019 Annual Report 1 Appendix A lists the utilities under the Commission’s jurisdiction. These utilities generated annual revenues in Arkansas of approximately $5.8 billion, $4.7 billion of which were jurisdictional revenues. Appendix B provides revenues and other statistics for each utility, as reported to the Commission in 2020 for the year 2019. Appendix C outlines the Commission’s receipts and disbursements for 2019. To finance its regulatory operations, the Commission is authorized to levy and collect annual fees from jurisdictional utilities pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated §23‐3‐110 and §23‐15‐214. 2 2019 Annual Report SECTION 1 COMMISSIONER PROFILES CHAIRMAN TED J.

The data compiled in this report are for the year 2008. The data are compiled from reports submitted to the FCC by U.S. carriers pursuant to Section 43.61 of the Commission's rules.1 Section 43.61(a) directs carriers to file reports by July 31 which summarize international telecommunications service provided during the preceding calendar year.

  • Funding for the Telecommunications Relay
    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION In the Matter of: FUNDING FOR THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS ) CASE NO. RELAY SERVICE ) 2017 -00358 ORDER On September 14, 2017, the Commission issued an Order in this proceeding requiring that the Telecommunications Relay Service ("TRS") fund surcharge be reduced by one cent ($0.01) to one cent ($0.01) per month effective January 1, 2018. In addition, the Commission established a deadline to receive comments regarding a frequency schedule for the Commission to review the TRS fund and related surcharge in the future. The Commission received no comments. The Commission finds that it will conduct a formal review of the TRS fund and the surcharge on an annual basis. Annual reviews of the TRS fund should reduce the potential for large balance shortfalls and overages. Annual reviews will commence approximately 120 days from the end of the calendar year, with the goal of implementing any changes on the first day of the following calendar year. The goal would also be to issue an order within 60 days of the initiation of the annual review so that providers will have ample time to implement any changes, if ordered. These annual formal reviews would be in addition to ongoing monitoring and would not prevent the Commission from making any changes in the interim period. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that: 1. The Commission annually will conduct a fo rmal review of the TRS fund to determine if a change in the surcharge is warranted. 2. This case is closed and removed from the Commission's docket.

    COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION In the Matter of: AN INQUIRY INTO THE STATE CASE NO. UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND 2016·00059 ORDER On February 1, 2016, the Commission, on its own motion, initiated this administrative proceeding to investigate the current and future funding, distribution, and administration of the Kentucky Universal Service Fund ("KUSF") , which provides supplemental support for authorized telecommunications carriers that also participate in the federal Lifeline program. The Commission stated that the need for the investigation arose from the projected depletion of the KUSF by April 2016, at which time the fund will no longer be able to meet its monthly obligation, absent action to increase funding or reduce spending. The Commission named as parties the Attorney General's office; all Local Exchange Carriers; all commercial mobile radio service providers; and all eligible telecommunications carriers, and established a procedural schedule providing for the filing of testimony by parties, discovery, and an opportunity for a hearing. In initiating this investigation, the Commission's February 1, 2016 Order cited the need to maintain the solvency of the KUSF and proposed to either temporarily raise the KUSF per-line surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14 or to temporarily lower the amount of state support. Any comments addressing either proposal were required to be filed no later than February 22, 2016. The Commission received a total of nine joint and/or individual comments from the parties to the case, as well as three comments from members of the public. Four joint and/or individual comments 1 expressed support for the Commission's proposal to temporarily raise the per-line monthly surcharge from $0.08 to $0.14.
