ETIC - Comments and Suggestion Form

The ETIC is interested in hearing from the public. Currently the committee is reviewing the Universal System Benefits (USB) program. A USB charge is assessed on electricity and natural gas customers in Montana to pay for certain public purpose programs. In 1997 S.B. 390 established the Universal System Benefits charge for all electric distribution utilities at 2.4 percent of 1995 electric utility revenues to begin January 1, 1999. The electric USB currently in law expires in December 2009. The committee is interested in hearing your thoughts on the USB program.


If you'd like to provide your name and contact information, please do so, but that information is not required to submit comments.
