The purpose of these rules is to establish cost assignment and allocation principles to assist the Commission in setting just and reasonable rates and to ensure that utilities do not use ratepayer funds to subsidize non-regulated activities, in accordance with § 40-3-114, C.R.S. In order to promote these purposes, these rules also specify information that utilities must provide to the Commission. In providing for review of a utility's specific cost allocations in other states and jurisdictions, the rules merely contemplate a methodology to allow interested parties to obtain complete information regarding cost allocations. These rules do not expressly or implicitly allow this Commission to order a utility to revise its cost allocations in other jurisdictions or states.
