RULE NO:RULE TITLE:

25-22.108Change of Regulated Utility Contact Information

PURPOSE AND EFFECT: To create Rule 25-22.108, F.A.C. specifying that all regulated utilities are required to update the utility’s contact information with the Commission.

Docket No. 20190074-PU

SUMMARY: The rule provides that within 30 days of being regulated by the Commission, a utility must submit its contact information to the Office of the Commission Clerk. If a utility makes any changes to its contact information, the utility must submit its updated contact information to the Office of the Commission Clerk within 30 days of the changes.

SUMMARY OF STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED REGULATORY COSTS AND LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION: The agency has determined that this will not have an adverse impact on small business or likely increase directly or indirectly regulatory costs in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate within one year after the implementation of the rule.  A SERC has been prepared by the agency.  The SERC examined the factors required by Section 120.541(2), FS, and concluded that the new rule will not have an adverse impact on economic growth, business competitiveness, or small business and that there would likely be transactional cost savings to the individual and entities, including government entities, required to comply with the rule.

The agency has determined that the proposed rule is not expected to require legislative ratification based on the statement of estimated regulatory costs or if no SERC is required, the information expressly relied upon and described herein: based upon the information contained in the SERC.

Any person who wishes to provide information regarding a statement of estimated regulatory costs, or provide a proposal for a lower cost regulatory alternative must do so in writing within 21 days of this notice.
