The results of this survey will be used to gauge the willingness and ability of utilities to file their annual financial reports electronically and the challenges that electronic filing poses for them. This survey is also intended to identify problems with the existing filing system and to solicit your comments and suggestions for improving that system and the filing process in general. The survey results will be made available to all utilities and to the general public.
The Commission strongly encourages your utility to complete the survey and provide us with your suggestions for improving the system.
Any questions regarding the survey or the Commission’s review of the electronic filing system should be addressed to the Executive Advisor.
