infonnation requests shall be limited to what is necessary to detennine if SCE&G has
properly applied the Fonnula and the procedures in these Protocols, and shall not
otherwise be directed to ascertaining whether the Fonnula is just and reasonable. In
addition, such infonnation requests shall not solicit infonnation that solely relates to
inputs that are stated values or cost allocation methods that have been detennined by any
final order by the FERC pursuant to FPA sections 205, 206 or 306 with respect to
SCE&G (including an order approving a settlement), except that such infonnation
requests shall be pennitted if they seek to detennine if there have been material changed
circumstances and to confinn consistency with the applicable order (and associated
settlement, if any).
c) SCE&G shall make a good faith effort to respond to infonnation requests
pertaining to the Annual Update within 15 business days of receipt of such requests.
SCE&G may give reasonable priority to responding to requests that satisfY the
practicable coordination and consolidation provision above.
d) Preliminary or Fonnal Challenges related to Material Accounting Changes are not
intended to serve as a means of pursuing other objections to the Fonnula. Failure to
make a Preliminary Challenge with respect to a Material Accounting Change to an
Annual Update shall not act as a bar with respect to making a Fonnal Challenge as to that
Annual Update nor shall failure to make a Preliminary Challenge or Fonnal Challenge as
to any Annual Update act as a bar to a Preliminary Challenge or Fonnal Challenge
related to any subsequent Annual Update to the extent such Material Accounting Change
affects the subsequent Annual Update.
e) Preliminary or Fonnal Challenges related to Material Accounting Changes shall be
subject to the resolution procedures and limitations in Section 4, except that Section 4.c.
shall not apply. In any proceeding initiated to address a Preliminary or Fonnal Challenge
or sua sponte by the Commission, a party or parties (other than SCE&G) seeking to
modifY the Fonnula in any respect shall bear the burden of proving that the Fonnula is no
longer just and reasonable without such modification and that the proposed modification
is just, reasonable and consistent with the original intent of the Fonnula and the
procedures in these Protocols; provided, however, that in any such proceeding, in
detennining whether the Fonnula is no longer just and reasonable without modification to
reflect a Material Accounting Change and whether the proposed modification is just and
reasonable, no offsets unrelated to the applicable Material Accounting Changes may be
considered.
