Take notice that on December 23, 2020, pursuant to Rules 205 and 207 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.205, 385.207, and consistent with the provisions of the Transmission Owner (TO) Tariff, the City of Azusa, California (Azusa), submitted a petition for a declaratory order requesting that the Commission (1) accepting Azusa's annual revisions to its Transmission Revenue Balancing Account Adjustment (TRBAA); (2) approving Azusa's annual update to the costs of its Existing Transmission Contract (ETC) with Southern California Edison Company for purposes of recovery of such costs through the ETC Pass-Through Clause contained in Azusa's TO Tariff; (3) accepting revisions to Appendix I to Azusa's TO Tariff to reflect Azusa's revised TRBAA, ETC costs, and updated Base and High Voltage Transmission Revenue Requirements (TRR); (4) to the extent necessary, waiving the sixty-day notice requirement provided for in the Commission's regulations at 18 CFR 35.3(a); (5) waiving the filing fee associated with this Petition that is provided for by Rule 207 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.207; and (6) granting any other relief or waivers necessary or appropriate for approval and implementation of the revisions to Azusa's Base TRR (including the updated ETC cost components), TRBAA, High Voltage TRR, and modifications to Azusa's TO Tariff effective as of January 1, 2021, as more fully explained in the petition.
Azusa's High Voltage Base TRR reflects two separately-stated ETC cost components, including an annually-updated forecast of Azusa's ETC costs for the upcoming calendar year and an annually updated true-up of Azusa's ETC costs for a prior twelve-month period. The High Voltage TRR consists of the High Voltage Base TRR plus the High Voltage TRBAA, which can be either positive or negative.
Azusa is a municipal electric utility that is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under Sections 205 and 206 of the Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. 824d and 824e (2018). Azusa became a Participating Transmission Owner (“Participating TO”) in the California Independent System Operator Corporation (“CAISO”) as of January 1, 2003. Without waiving any rights relating to its jurisdictional status, Azusa submits this filing to the Commission, as it previously submitted its TO Tariff in Docket Nos. EL03-14-000 and ER12-489-000, for the purpose of permitting the Commission to review the justness and reasonableness of the CAISO's tariff charges, which include Azusa's TRR as well as the TRRs of other non-jurisdictional and jurisdictional Participating TOs.
Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211, 385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the Petitioner.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically may mail similar pleadings to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426.
