Be made no later than three (3) years after the statement form’s due date.(2)
The Commission must provide written notice of the proposed annual fee to the energy or large telecommunications utility.(3)
Within 30 days after service of the notice of proposed annual fee, the energy or large telecommunications utility may file a petition with the Commission for a hearing. In its petition, the utility must specify its reasons for disputing the proposed annual fee. The Commission may conduct a hearing on the petition under its rules governing hearings and proceedings.(4)
If the energy or large telecommunications utility has not filed a petition by the end of the 30-day period, the Commission will enter an order based upon information in its files. The Commission’s order is final upon service, and the ordered assessment is due and payable on the tenth day after the order becomes final.(5)
During the 30-day period allowed for filing a petition, the energy or large telecommunications utility may file its completed statement form and pay the annual fee, penalties, and late statement fee. The Commission will accept the statement form, fees, and penalties in accordance with the original due date for that year’s statement form and payment.
