In response to a Natonal Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) recommendation, the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) will have Price Waterhouse prepare an operational audit that will trace EEI activities and expenditures within each department. NARUC encouraged member commissions to disallow all rate treatment of utility contributions to EEI until a reporting system is agreed upon or an operational audit by an acceptable firm is completed as the result of an ongoing probe into how the Institute spends its money. NARUC was particularly interested in identifying expenditures for lobbying and regulatory advocacy and for advertising. There is open disagreement within the regulatory community over the extent to which the new proposed requirement is to be formally instituted by regulators and over who is to oversee implementation of the new demands.
