Subject of Possible Rule Making: The Washington state utilities and transportation comission (UTC) is initiating this rule making to implement amendments to RCW
80.24.010 updating UTC's authority to assess regulatory fees. The rules UTC will consider amending in this rule making are WAC 480-90-252, 480-100-252, 480-110-505, 480-120-382, and 480-120-385. UTC has assigned this matter to Docket U-220271.
Reasons Why Rules on this Subject may be Needed and What They Might Accomplish: The legislature adopted amendments to RCW
80.24.010, increasing the maximum regulatory fees UTC may assess to utility companies. This rule making will conform UTC's rules to the formula adopted by RCW
80.24.010.
Process for Developing New Rule: UTC uses a collaborative rule-making process that includes stakeholder workshops, formal comments, and draft rules.
Interested parties can participate in the decision to adopt the new rule and formulation of the proposed rule before publication by contacting Amanda Maxwell, UTC, P.O.
