Section 605.10  Adoption of Uniform System of Accounts by Reference

 

The Illinois Commerce Commission (Commission) adopts the Uniform System of Accounts for Class A Water Utilities (1996) of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) as its uniform system of accounts for water utilities, subject to the exceptions set forth in Subpart B of this Part.  No incorporation in this Part incorporates any later amendment or edition.

Section 605.100  Accounting Instruction 1

 

Accounting Instruction 1, "General – Classification of Utilities," is deleted and replaced by the following:

 

"A.       For the purpose of applying the system of accounts prescribed by the Commission, water utilities are divided into two classes, as follows:

 

            Class A – Utilities having annual water operating revenues of $1,000,000 or more.

 

            Class B – Utilities having annual water operating revenues of less than $1,000,000.

 

B.        This system of accounts applies to Class A utilities.  Class B utilities shall keep all the accounts of this system of accounts applicable to their affairs.  Class B utilities may, however, keep accounts for operating revenues and operating expenses under the accounts of the condensed classifications provided by this Part.  (See Accounting Instruction 40.)

 

C.        The class to which any utility belongs shall originally be determined by the average of its annual water operating revenue for the last three consecutive years.  Subsequent changes in classification shall be made when the annual water operating revenues for each of the three immediately preceding years shall exceed $1,000,000 on a stand alone basis of the annual water and sewer operating revenues.

 

D.        Class B utilities desiring more detailed accounting may adopt the accounts prescribed for Class A utilities.  Class B utilities are not required to comply with more detailed accounts than what otherwise may be their case."

Section 605.120  Accounting Instruction 19

 

a)         The Note in Item 3 of Accounting Instruction 19, Utility Plant – Components of Construction Cost, is revised to state:

            "Note:  The cost of individual items of equipment of small value or of short life, including small portable tools and implements, shall not be charged to utility plant accounts unless the correctness of the accounting therefor is verified by current inventories.  The cost shall be charged to the appropriate operating expense or clearing accounts, according to the use of such items, or, if such items are consumed directly in construction work, the cost shall be included as part of the cost of the construction unit.

 

b)         In Accounting Instruction 19, "Utility Plant – Components of Construction Cost", Item 17 is deleted (except for the note) and replaced with the following:

            "Allowance for funds used during construction" ('AFUDC') includes the net cost for the period of construction of borrowed funds used for construction purposes and a reasonable rate on other funds when so used, not to exceed allowances computed in accordance with the formula prescribed in paragraph (a).  No AFUDC charges shall be included in these accounts upon expenditures for construction projects that have been abandoned.

 

1)         The formula and elements for the computation of AFUDC shall be:

 

            A(i) = s(S/W) + d(D/(D + P + C)) (1 - S/W)

 

            A(e) = [1 - S/W] [p(P/(D + P + C)) + c (C/(D + P + C))]

 

A(1)	=	Gross allowance for borrowed funds used during construction rate
A(e)	=	Allowance for other funds used during construction rate
S	=	Average short term debt
s	=	Short-term debt interest rate
D	=	Short-term debt interest rate
d	=	Long-term debt interest rate
P	=	Preferred stock
p	=	Preferred stock cost rate
C	=	Common equity
p	=	Common equity cost rate
W	=	Average balance in construction work in progress

 

2)         The rates shall be determined annually except that the rates may be adjusted for current year security issues which affect the weighted average of long-term debt and/or preferred stock or when the return on equity awarded a current rate case exceeds the computational return on equity. The balances for long-term debt, preferred stock, and common equity shall be the actual book balances as of the end of the prior year.  The cost rates for long-term debt and preferred stock shall be the weighted average cost.  The cost rate for common equity shall be the rate granted common equity in the last rate proceeding before the Commission.  If such cost rate is not available, the average rate actually earned during the preceding three years shall be used.  The short-term debt balances and related cost and the average balance for construction work in progress shall be estimated for the current year with appropriate adjustments as actual data become available."

            "Exclude from equipment accounts hand and other portable tools, which are likely to be lost or stolen or which have a relatively small value or short life, unless the correctness of the accounting therefor as utility plant is verified by current inventories. Special tools acquired and included in the purchase price of equipment shall be included in the appropriate plant account. Portable drills and similar tool equipment when used in connection with the operation and maintenance of a particular plant or department, such as pumping, transmission and distribution, etc., or in "stores", shall be charged to the plant account appropriate for their use."

Section 605.175  Accounting Instruction 39

 

Add the following material as Accounting Instruction 39, Transition Rules – Contributions in Aid of Construction

 

"A.       The transition rules are to govern the accounting for Contributions in Aid of Construction.  They are based on the premise that the integrity of the "contribution" account was preserved during the period encompassed by the Commission's ratemaking policy of allowance of depreciation expense as a recoverable operating expense on property which was the contra to the "contribution" account.

 

B.        The rules provide for recording the impairment of the "contributions" account which occurred subsequent to the change in Commission policy of disallowance of depreciation expense on "contributed property" for ratemaking purposes.

 

1.         Subsidiary records will be maintained for Account 271, "Contributions in Aid of Construction" and Account 272, "Accumulated Amortization of Contributions in Aid of Construction."  Subsidiary accounts of Account 271 shall segregate the Contributions in Aid of Construction recorded prior to the change in ratemaking policy from amounts recorded subsequent thereto.  The subsidiary accounts of Account 272 shall be maintained to provide a segregation of the accumulated amortization charges which relate to or correlate to the "contribution" segregated balances. The "pre" and "post" segregation categories will coincide with the effective date of the first definitive Commission Order applicable to the subject utility which applies the ratemaking disallowance policy.

 

2.         Utilities that discontinued recording depreciation expense in their books of account subsequent to is disallowance for ratemaking purposes shall record the impairment of the "contribution" account for the period from date of disallowance to December 31, 1986 by debit to Account 272, "Accumulated Amortization of Contributions in Aid of Construction" and credit to the appropriate sub-account of Account 108, "Accumulated Depreciation".

 

3.         Utilities that continued to record depreciation expense in their books of account subsequent to its disallowance for ratemaking shall record the impairment of the "contribution" account by debit to Account 272, "Accumulated Amortization of Contributions in Aid of Construction" and credit to Account 439, "Adjustments to Retained Earnings".  It shall cover the period from date of disallowance to December 31, 1986.

 

4.         The amortization of the "pre" disallowance balance of Account 271 shall continue until it is fully amortized at which time it shall be written off against its related Account 272 balance.

 

5.         Within six months of the effective date of this System of Accounts (83 Ill. Adm. Code 605), each utility shall submit its proposed journal entries for recording the implementation of the transition rules to the Director of Accounting of the Commission to ascertain whether the utility has complied with Accounting Instruction 39.

 

6.         Should an impairment of the "contribution" account have occurred prior to the period covered by the transition rules in this Accounting Instruction, the utility shall submit its proposed journal entries to record such impairment accompanied by a complete explanation to the Director of Accounting for acceptance and approval.  The Director of Accounting shall accept and approve the journal entries if an impairment has occurred and if the entries reflect the level of impairment."

Section 605.200  Retirement Units Generally

 

a)         A retirement unit is defined as the smallest item of property which, on replacement, is required to be written out of the plant account. Expressed another way, a retirement unit is an item of property which is not replaced through the maintenance accounts.

 

b)         The adoption of a list of retirement units should not be construed as requiring a classification of utility plant in the accounts corresponding to the list of the retirement units.  The retirement unit is used for the purpose of distinguishing between items replaced through the plant accounts and those replaced through maintenance and can be used in plant accounting regardless of the classification reflected by the plant accounts.  For example, the plant account might show only the total cost of a structure although it may be composed of a number of retirement units.

 

c)         The Retirement Unit Accounts 301 through 348 are to be added to the NARUC Uniform System of Accounts.

 

Section 605.204  General Instructions with Respect to Structures and Equipment

 

a)         With respect to structures and equipment, treat as retirement units any item of property which is readily separable from and separately useful from the larger assembly of which it forms a part and which has a life of several years.  It is, of course, contemplated that consideration will be given to the cost of an item and that certain items otherwise meeting the above distinction but which cost $100 or less would not be considered a retirement unit (see Note at Accounting Instruction 19(3)).

 

b)         Treat, also, as retirement units portions of structures or equipment replaced in cases where the replacement operates to extend the life of the structure or equipment or where it is necessary to record the replacement in the plant accounts in order that the records may, as nearly as practicable, show the cost of the structure or equipment as it actually exists.

 

c)         Wherever appropriate, the retirement of any unit of property in the structures or equipment accounts shall include all costs of associated items which pertain solely to that unit, such as the costs of foundations; supports, ladders, runways, enclosures, guards; driving mechanisms; indicating, recording and measuring devices with their mountings; starting, control, regulating, protective, and safety devices; switchboards; special lighting conduits and wiring; pipes; duct; spouts; chutes; hoppers; ect.

 

Section 605.205  Retirement Unit Instructions

 

a)         The list of retirement units is representative but not necessarily exhaustive.  The appearance of a retirement unit under an account warrants the inclusion of the unit in the account mentioned only when the function, character, primary purpose, and text of the account also indicates inclusion inasmuch as the same unit frequently appears in more than one list.

 

b)         The omission of an item from the list in an account or its inclusion in a functional system, does not preclude its treatment as a retirement unit if it costs more than $100 and is not an integral part of a larger retirement unit.  The term "integral part" is used in a physical rather than a functional sense.  For instance, both the pump and heat exchanger mounted separately in a vaporizing system will be considered retirement units, as contrasted with a packaged unit where both would be considered an integral part of the package.

 

Section 605.206  List of General Retirement Units

 

a)         In all accounts where they occur, the following shall be considered a retirement unit if costing more than $100 and not an integral part of the retirement unit specifically listed:

 

1)         Assembly for two or more retirement units;

 

2)         Blower or fan;

 

3)         Control installation, automatic, semi-automatic, or remote (such as pressure, speed, level, weight and volume regulators);

 

4)         Coupling device (such as a speed reducer, speed increaser, clutch coupling, etc.);

 

5)         Driving unit (such as a prime mover, motor, gas engine, etc.);

 

6)         Enclosure for two or more retirement units (fence, guard railing, ect.);

 

7)         Foundation for a unit of equipment, when not an integral part of a building and which is not intended to outlast the equipment for which provided;

 

8)         Instrument or device for indicating, measuring, recording, or weighing;

 

9)         Landscaping, grading of land improvements (complete at one location);

 

10)         Piping, a run of any system (oil, steam, water, etc.) (6 inch and over in size, with or without valves, between two or more units of property and/or a header) (See subsection (b));

 

11)         Piping header, 6 inch and over in size (See subsection (b));

 

12)         Platforms, ladders, stairs, runways (complete section);

 

13)         Pump;

 

14)         Road, walk, parking lot, etc.;

 

15)         Tank, vessel, bin, sphere, holder, etc.;

 

16)         Valve, power operated, pressure reducing, atmospheric relief, 6 inch nominal pipe size and larger or relatively costly valve; and

 

17)         Weighing device.

 

b)         Whenever appropriate, the "piping" cost of additions and retirements shall include all costs for pipes, valves, fittings, specials, covering, hangers, supports, etc. pertaining to the run or header in question.

 

c)         In Retirement Unit Accounts 301 and 348, the article "a," "an," or "the," as appropriate, should be read in connection with each listed retirement.

 

Section 605.210  Variances

 

a)         The retirement units listed in this Part are prescribed and are to be accounted for in accordance with Accounting Instruction 27.

 

b)         The list of units may be expanded by any water utility without authorization from the Commission.

 

c)         If adherence to the list of retirement units contained in this Part would cause a utility undue hardship, such as the loss of revenue, the utility should file a petition for relief in accordance with the Commission's Rules of Practice, 83 Ill. Adm. Code 200, giving a full disclosure of the facts and a suggested modification of the list necessary to avoid the hardship.  The Commission will approve a suggested modification if the economic benefits of the modification outweigh the economic cost and the modification does not preclude required reporting.

 

Section 605.301  Retirement Unit Account 301 Organization

 

a)         Item

 

1)         Actual cost of obtaining certificates authorizing an enterprise to engage in the public utility business.
