The statutory authority for the rule amendments proposed here is found at

| Description of Subjects/Issues |
The Colorado Public Utilities Commission issues this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) to amend the rules governing low income programs offered by electric and natural gas utilities. After the Colorado Department of Human Services (DHS) changed its Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP) regulations in September, Rules 4 Code of Colorado Regulations 723-3-3412 (Rules Regulating Electric Utilities) and 723-4-4412 (Rules Regulating Gas Utilities and Pipeline Operators) referenced a metric that no longer existed. The Commission issued temporary rules to address that problem. These proposed rules make permanent the fix embodied in the temporary rules. |
