No. 28344 Service Date: February 10, 2022 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICE REGULATION BEFORE THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF MONTANA IN THE MATTER OF NorthWestern Energy's Application for a Partial Waiver of Administrative Rule of Montana 38.5.176 REGULATORY DIVISION DOCKET NO. 2022.01.010 NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT NorthWestern Energy ("NWE") is preparing to file with the Montana Public Service Commission ("Commission") an application for authority to increase the rates it charges for natural gas service in Montana. Such a filing is subject to the Commission's Minimum Rate Case Filing Standards, set forth in Mont. Admin. Rs. 38.5.101 et. seq. The standards require NWE to prepare and file a marginal cost of service study. On January 7, 2022, NWE filed with the Commission a Request for Waiver ("Request") of that requirement. In the Request, NWE states good cause exists to waive the requirement in the rule because marginal cost of service studies do not provide sufficient usable information in the context of a natural gas rate case to justify the amount of work necessary to prepare and file such a study. NWE states the Commission granted an identical request in Montana-Dakota Utilities' last two natural gas rate cases. See Notice of Commission Action, Dkt. 2020.04.044 (May 26, 2020); Notice of Commission Action, Dkt. N2017.8.69 (Sept. 18, 2017); Notice of Commission Action, Dkt. N2014.7.64 (Aug. 6, 2014). NWE states the Montana Consumer Counsel ("MCC") does not object to its Request. A copy of the Request is publicly available at the following locations: the Commission's business office, 1701 Prospect Avenue, Helena, MT; online at the Commission's website (http://psc.mt.gov) under Docket No. 2022.01.010; and at the office of Montana Consumer Counsel, which represents consumer interests before the Commission, 111 North Last Chance Gulch, Suite 1B, Helena, MT (406) 444-2771. Interested parties can register on the Commission's website to be added to the Watch List for notice of filings in this docket (select "EDDI", create ePass account, and, under "Watch List" tab, enter Docket No.2022.01.010). The Commission invites any interested party affected by NWE's Request to file comments March 3, 2022. Written public comments on this matter may be submitted to the Commission's address at 1701 Prospect Ave., P.O. Box 202601, Helena, MT 59620; through the Commission's website at http://psc.mt.gov (Select "Documents & Proceedings" tab; select "Comment on a Proceeding"; select "Continue as Guest"; complete form, select "Submit"); or by email at pschelp@mt.gov. The Commission's jurisdiction over this matter is provided in Title 69 and Title 2, Chapter 4 of the Montana Code Annotated; Title 38, Chapters 2 and 5 of the Montana Administrative Rules, and any prior orders of the Commission relevant to the issues presented. DONE AND DATED this 10th day of February, 2021.
