Docket No. 20170179 -GU <br />Florida City Gas <br />Commission's Order, FCG recovers these costs through a surcharge, which is then subject to true <br />up each year. <br />20) FCG has invested over $19 million to date in the SAFE program activities. As further <br />discussed in the testimony and exhibits of the Company's witnesses and as outlined in the <br />Commission's Order, the FPSC specifically recognized that, because the surcharge is <br />cumulative, if FCG were to file a rate case before the program expired, the then -current SAFE <br />surcharge program would be folded into rate base. The Order further contemplated that the <br />surcharge would then be recalculated. <br />21) Accordingly, FCG has requested a revenue increase of $3.5 million to reflect that the <br />SAFE installations have been moved into rate base. The surcharge reset to $0, pending the <br />establishment of a new surcharge covering the next projection period. <br />VII. ADDITIONAL TARIFF CHANGES <br />22) FCG also is requesting approval of new, Volume No. 9 of its Natural Gas Tariff. <br />Therein; FCG is proposing several changes to enhance its ability to economically extend service <br />to new customers, while protecting its existing body of customers. Among these changes is a <br />new Economic Development Extension Program. <br />23) The Company is also proposing to update its tariff provisions addressing customer <br />deposits to be consistent with the revisions made to Section 366.05(1), Florida Statutes, in 2015. <br />24) The Company is also proposing to make certain changes to its customer charges, <br />including adding new customer charges, such as a Failed Trip Charge, which will help reduce <br />upward pressure on base rates by assessing the charges directly to the customers that cause the <br />underlying cost. <br />
