PENNSYLVANIA PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION

Fuel Surcharge Order

Commissioners Present: John M. Quain, Chairperson; Robert K. Bloom, Vice-Chairperson; Nora Mead Brownell; Aaron Wilson, Jr.; Terrance J. Fitzpatrick

Public Meeting

Fuel Surcharge Extension; S. P. 28204

Order

By the Commission:

   The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) by its Fuel Surcharge Order at Special Permission Number 28204, ratified March 30, 2000, authorized call or demand, paratransit and airport transfer carriers under the jurisdiction of this Commission to adjust rates and fares to offset unanticipated fuel expenditures.

   All call or demand, paratransit and airport transfer carriers were authorized a fuel surcharge of 25¢ per paying passenger. The fuel surcharge is to be in addition to officially filed tariff rates. The Fuel Surcharge became effective on April 1, 2000, and is scheduled to terminate on June 30, 2000.

   After due consideration, we have determined that fuel costs have not stabilized and are continuing to increase. Based upon the evidence available, we are of the opinion that the passenger motor carrier industry continues to have a need for the fuel surcharge to permit the recovery of unanticipated fuel expenditures; Therefore,

   It Is Ordered That:

   1.  The Fuel Surcharge established at Special Permission 28204 be and is hereby extended until September 30, 2000.

   2.  The Fuel Surcharge at Special Permission 28204 shall terminate September 30, 2000, without further Commission action. No further extensions of the Fuel Surcharge will be considered.

   3.  Motor Carriers who can demonstrate financial justification for an increase in currently filed rates and charges, based upon their overall operating costs, may recover increased fuel costs through the regular rate increase procedure.

   4.  The Secretary shall duly certify this order and deposit same with the Legislative Reference Bureau for publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

JAMES J. MCNULTY,   
Secretary
