The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) today issued an order seeking public comments on two sections of Public Act 286 of 2008:

·        Section 6a(6), which deals with the adoption of standard rate application filing forms and instructions for use in all general rate cases filed by utilities whose rates are regulated by the MPSC; and

·        Section 10p(11), which deals with the creation of benchmarks for individual jurisdictional entities within their rate-making process to accomplish the goals of this section: to alleviate end-use customer power quality disturbances and promote power plant generating cost efficiency;

All recommendations on these matters should be consistent with the provisions of Act 286.
