Regulatory Filing Compliance Analyzer
Verify regulatory filings for FERC/state compliance before submission
What You Can Do
This skill systematically validates your regulatory filings against FERC and state commission requirements, cross-references rate calculations with supporting schedules, and flags inconsistencies that could trigger discovery requests or delays. You submit filings with confidence knowing all exhibits are present, calculations cascade correctly, and compliance checklists are complete.
Features
automatically compares your filing against jurisdiction-specific requirements for FERC, state commissions, and reopener filings
verifies all exhibits are present, correctly numbered, and properly referenced within the main filing
validates that cost-of-service allocations, revenue requirements, and rate schedules reconcile across all supporting documents
ensures Schedule A references match Schedule B totals and all dependent schedules cascade correctly
compares proposed rates against prior authorized rates to identify material changes requiring additional justification
identifies required schedules missing from your submission based on filing type and jurisdiction
highlights the most critical compliance gaps that could trigger discovery requests or adverse findings
monitors submission requirements and regulatory timeline compliance
Example Output
Example 1: Compliance Checklist Scan Filing: 2024 General Rate Case (FERC Form 1 filer, state jurisdiction)
✓ Required exhibits present (18/18) ⚠ Schedule D-1 cost allocation lacks methodological narrative ✗ Schedule C-2 revenue requirement reconciles to Summary of Revenues but excludes $2.3M in O&M adjustments referenced in testimony ⚠ Tariff Schedule RSC missing (required for rate shock mitigation language in testimony)
Example 2: Mathematical Consistency Report Revenue Requirement Summary: $145.2M Schedule A (CoS Study): $145.1M (variance: $0.1M, immaterial) Schedule B (Rate Design): $145.2M (reconciles ✓) Test Year O&M: $89.3M on Schedule A; $89.2M on Schedule C (variance: $0.1M flagged for explanation)
Example 3: Rate Materiality Analysis Proposed Average Residential Rate: $0.1245/kWh Prior Authorized Rate: $0.1089/kWh Material Change: +14.3% (exceeds 10% materiality threshold) Flag: Additional rate shock mitigation schedules required per commission rules
