____ Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Bureau of Transportation and Safety v. Beninati Transport Corporation; Doc. No. C-2008-2030760
COMPLAINT The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania empowered to regulate public utilities within the Commonwealth. The Commission has delegated its authority to initiate proceedings which are prosecutory in nature to the Bureau of Transportation and Safety and other bureaus with enforcement responsibilities. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:
1. That Beninati Transport Corporation, respondent, maintains its principal place of business at 220 Hemlock Road, Trafford, PA 15085.
2. That respondent was issued a Certificate of Public Convenience by this Commission on August 20, 1998, at Application Docket No. A-00114310.
3. On August 27, 2007, Enforcement Officer Andrew Rosenberger, a duly authorized enforcement officer of this Commission, attempted to reach respondent by telephone to schedule its annual small passenger inspection; the telephone number was disconnected. On September 7, 2007, Officer Rosenberger visited respondent's place of business at 220 Hemlock Road, Trafford, Pennsylvania. Homeowner, Donnalee Plecenik answered the door and informed Officer Rosenberger that she had lived at this address for the last nine years and that Paula Beninati who had owned the limousines had sold the home to her and moved to Arizona without providing a forwarding address. A review of our records indicated that respondent reported a ''0'' balance on its last assessment report which was filed in 2005.
4. That respondent, by failing to file an application to discontinue limousine service with this Commission, violated 52 Pa. Code § 3.381(a)(1)(v) and 66 Pa.C.S. § 1102(a)(2).
Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission revoke Beninati Transport Corporation's certificate of public convenience at A-00114310.
