The assessment was calculated by first reducing the Public Utilities Commission (Commission) estimated expenses for FY 2016 (July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016) by the amount of direct and minimum assessments to be collected pursuant to RSA 363-A:2. The following direct and minimum assessments were used: Direct Assessments Competitive Suppliers $10,000.00 Aggregators $2,000.00 Telecommunications Carriers $1,000.00 Minimum Assessments Water & Sewer $100.00 (for revenue of less than $27,711) ELEC & VoIP $1,000.00 (for revenue of less than $309,569 after 33% adjustment) Next, gross New Hampshire revenue for each assessed entity that did not fall under the minimum or direct assessment categories were totaled. Electric and gas supplier revenue was then totaled, as well, and imputed to electric and gas distribution companies, respectively. Finally, revenue of certain companies was adjusted to 33 percent of their total in accordance with RSA 363-A:2, as amended. All companies whose gross revenue was used for the assessment calculation were assessed $0.0032649826 per dollar for the Public Utilities Commission and if applicable, $.0003784815 for the Office of the Consumer Advocate as shown below: ASSESSMENT CALCULATION FY 2016 (July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016) PUC FY 16 Budget $7,365,328 Less Revenue Generated from Direct and Minimum Assessments Total NH Gross Revenue less $2,255,855,218 NH Gross Revenue from Entities Assessed Direct and Minimum Assessment PUC Assessment Factor $0.0032649826 OCA FY 15 Budget $807,127 Total NH Gross Revenue less $2,067,563,151 NH Gross Revenue from Entities Exempt from Supporting OCA OCA Assessment Factor $0.0003784815 After the close of the prior fiscal year (Fiscal Year 2015, ending June 30, 2015), the Commission ascertained its actual expenses for that year and then adjusted the first quarterly invoice amount for the FY 2016 assessment to take into account any over collection that occurred in the FY 2015 assessments. The FY 2015 over collection was credited to companies based on the gross utility revenue for calendar year 2013, which was used in the determination of the FY 2015 assessment. The commission invoices each assessed entity on a quarterly basis. In FY 2016, invoice issue dates are August 17, 2015, October 15, 2015, January 15, 2016, and April 15, 2016. An assessed entity can choose to pay its assessment in whole or in quarterly installments as shown on the assessment invoice. However, the obligation for the assessment is incurred on July 1, 2015.
