Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commissions (Commission) Procedural Rules and Special Regulations, notice is hereby given of the application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the
Company), to modify Rule 12 and cancel Schedule
Nos. 71 and 94.
RMP is a public utility as dened in W.S. 371-101(a)(vi)(C), subject to the Commissions jurisdiction pursuant to W.S. 37-2-112.
On November 20, 2015, RMP led its application requesting authority to modify Rule 12 (Line
Extension Policy), cancel Schedule No. 71 (Energy
Exchange Program), and cancel Schedule No. 94
(Demand Side Management Credit).
RMP states its proposal is to modify Rule 12
to allow customers the option to provide an additional form of non-cash security from a surety
or nancial institution, which can be irrevocable
letters of credit. The modied language will allow the customer three options: i] pay the cash
advance, ii] obtain a bond, or iii] obtain letters of
credit. This will allow for additional exibility to
customers that need a network upgrade. Schedule 71 is proposed to be canceled because of low
customer participation and Schedule 94 is proposed to be canceled because the one-time credit
beginning on February 1, 2015, was completed by
March 31, 2015. RMP requests an effective date
of January 1, 2016.

in this notice shall be construed as relieving the

Contractor and the Sureties on its bond from any
claim or claims for the work or labor done or materials or supplies furnished in the execution of
the Agreement. All persons having claims for labor and materials furnished the Contractor shall
present a veried statement of the amount due
and unpaid on account of the same to the District
prior to the day specied for nal payment. Failure on the part of the claimant to le each statement will relieve the District from any and all liability on such claim.
