Any additional costs incurred by the Public Utilities Commission to adopt rules requiring additional reporting requirements by investor-owned transmission and distribution utilities on residential, small commercial and medium commercial customer billing notices are anticipated to be minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
