Notice Of Utility Applications To Transfer CertificateAnd Alter Service Area
The REGULATORY COMMISSION of ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that on March 31, 2015, Copper Basin Sanitation Service Company (CBSSC) and Copper Basin Sanitation, LLC (CBS) (collectively the Applicants) filed an application to transfer Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (Certificate) No.223 from CBSSC to CBS. The transfer is the result of a business restructuring and no other changes to the entity or its organizational structure are being made.
The Applicants also filed an application to alter the service area for Certificate No. 223. CBSSC’s current service area is centered in Glennallen and extends north along the Richardson Highway to Paxson, south along the Richardson Highway toward Valdez and Chitna, west along the Glenn Highway, and northeast along the Tok Cutoff Highway to Slana. The Applicants seek to alter the service area of Certificate No. 223 by expanding it west from Paxson along the Denali Highway, north on the Richardson Highway to Summit Lake, east on the Edgerton Highway between Chitina and McCarthy, and west on the Glenn Highway to the Eureka area. The Applicants also seek to remove a portion of their service area located near Tok that was inadvertently included within the service area in a past proceeding, but has not been served.
Docket No. U-15-053 was opened to address the application to transfer Certificate No.223. Docket No. U-15-054 was opened to address the application to alter the service area for Certificate No. 223.
The Applicants filed a motion to consolidate the proceedings for Dockets U-15-053 and U-15-054 for administrative efficiency. Within Docket U-15-054, the Applicants also seek a waiver of the requirement to file pro-forma financial schedules and of the scale requirement for the service area map.
No petition for confidentiality was filed with the applications. The Commission has not assessed the completeness of the application, the petitions for waiver,or the motion for consolidation. The Commission will rule on the petitions for waiver and determine whether the application is complete by June 5, 2015.
A person who proposes to file an application to furnish the same (or substantially the same) service or facility to essentially the same service area or route, in whole or in part, must file a notice of intent to file a competing application by May 6, 2015. The person must then file the competing application by July 5, 2015. If no notice of intent to file a competing application is filed by May 6, 2015, the Commission will proceed to grant or deny the CBS application in accordance with the applicable provisions of AS42.05.221- 42.05.281.
