The Independent Record fulfills an essential role in serving your right to know. After all, it shouldn’t be your responsibility to know how to look ... where to look ... when to look ... and even what to look for in order to be informed about public information. It is the govern-ment’s responsibility to notify you of public informa-tion, and the Independent Record is the most accessible place to find it.

PUBLIC NOTICE

Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Ser-vice Commission’s (Commission) Rules, notice is hereby given that a public hearing has been scheduled regarding the application of Rocky Mountain Power (RMP or the Company) re-questing authority decrease rates on deferred net power costs (NPC) pursuant to Tariff Sched-ule 95; and to increase rates pursuant to Tariff Schedule 93, renewable energy credits (RECs) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) emission allowances. The public hearing is set to commence on Tuesday, October 11, 2016, at 9:00 a.m., in the Commission’s hearing room located at 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, in Chey-enne, Wyoming.

RMP is a public utility, as defined in W.S. §37-1-101(a)(vi)(C), providing retail electric public utility service under certificates of public convenience and necessity issued by the Com-mission. RMP is subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction pursuant to W.S. §37-2-112.

Pursuant to Tariff Schedule 95, RMP pro-poses to recover an approximately $12.2 mil-lion comprised of total deferred NPC including embedded cost differential adjustments during the deferral period, deferral period interest, and residual balances from prior ECAMs. The Com-pany proposes to revise Tariff Schedule 95 by adding the $12.2 million to the currently effec-tive deferred NPC rate that is designed to col-lect $13.9 million from retail customers. Not-withstanding the $12.2 million increase for the deferral period, the $13.9 million will decrease when the Company stops collecting amounts from prior ECAM deferrals May 14, 2016.

Pursuant to Tariff Schedule 93, the Com-pany is proposing to refund to customers ap-proximately $644 thousand to account for cal-endar year 2015 balancing account adjustments and 2016 forecast sales revenues for REC and SO2 products in the market. From the cur-rently approved $690 thousand surcredit, this results in an overall increase of $50 thousand from current rates.

RMP is also requesting a change to the fil-ing date and rate effective date for future fil-ings beginning in 2017. The current filing date is March 15 and the request is to change it to April 15. The current rate effective date is May 15 and the request is to change it to June 15.

All interested persons are encouraged to at-tend the public hearing which will be conducted in accordance with the Wyoming Administra-tive Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public Service Commission Rules and Special Regu-lations. Interested persons may appear and be heard, either in person or through counsel, as provided by Commission rule.

The Commission’s hearings are open to all persons. If you wish to attend the hearing and you require reasonable accommodation for a disability, please contact the Commission at (307) 777-7427 (Voice or TTY) in Cheyenne during regular business hours or write them at 2515 Warren Avenue, Suite 300, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002, to make arrangements. Com-munications impaired persons may also contact the Commission by accessing Wyoming Relay (TTY) by dialing 711. Please mention Docket No. 20000-492-EA-16 in your correspondence.

PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT A

Currently, the Wyoming Constitution allows the legislature to authorize the investment of public employee retirement systems funds and permanent state funds in equities, such as stock or shares in private or public companies. Per-manent funds of the state include funds desig-nated as permanent funds by the Constitution. The Wyoming Constitution does not allow the state to invest any other funds in equities. The adoption of this amendment would allow the legislature, by two-thirds vote of the members of both houses, to authorize the investment of additional specified state funds in equities.

PROPOSITION: FORMATION OF A HOSPITAL DISTRICT

Shall a Hospital District named Hot Springs County Hospital District be formed? The gener-al purpose of the proposed district shall be for hospital purposes as defined by the principal Hospital District ACT W.S. 35-2-401 through 35-2-421 and pursuant to the Special District Elections Act W.S. 22-29-101 through 22-29-601; the boundary of the proposed district shall be the entire County of Hot Springs.
