(a) Based upon the evidence of record, the Commission shall issue a written
decision approving, denying, or ordering modifications, in whole or in part, to the
utility’s gas infrastructure plan application filed in accordance with paragraph
4552(d).
(b) The Commission’s decision regarding the gas infrastructure plan application shall
consider the adequacy of the utility’s filed information and the methods and
processes the utility used in formulating the gas infrastructure plan. The
Commission may require refinements regarding the planning methods and
processes to be incorporated in the utility’s subsequent gas infrastructure plan
application filing.
(c) In accordance with subparagraph 4552(d)(II), the Commission’s decision
regarding the relief sought by the utility regarding specific planned projects or
their alternatives shall consider the adequacy of the utility’s filed information and
the methods and processes the utility used in evaluating those projects and
alternatives to those projects, as applicable. The Commission may also grant a
presumption of prudence of the cost estimate for a planned project if the
Commission determines the record supports the reasonableness and maturity of
the cost estimate and evaluation of alternatives, as applicable.
(d) If the Commission declines to approve a utility’s gas plan filed in accordance with
paragraph 4552 (d), either in whole or in part, the utility shall make changes to
the plan in response to the Commission's decision. Within 60 days of the
issuance of a Commission decision disapproving a plan, the utility shall file an
amended plan with the Commission and shall provide the amended plan to all
parties who participated in the application proceeding concerning the utility’s
plan. All such parties may participate in any hearings regarding the amended
plan.
