APPLICATION AND STATEMENT OF INTENT OF ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY
COMPANY LLC FOR AUTHORITY TO DECREASE RATES BASED ON
THE TAX CUT AND JOBS ACT OF 2017
TO THE HONORABLE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS AND MUNICIPAL
REGULATORY AUTHORITIES:
Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor" or "Company"), an investor -owned
electric utility under the Public Utility Regulatory Act,' Texas Utilities Code Title 2, files this
Application and Statement of Intent for Authority to Decrease Rates Based on the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017 ("Application"), respectfully showing the following:
I. INTRODUCTION AND REQUEST
The rates set in Docket No. 46957, Oncor's most recent base -rate case, were based on a
2016 calendar test year and included federal income tax ("FIT") expense based upon the then -
current 35% rate.2 Since the Public Utility Commission of Texas's ("Commission") final order
in that case, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA" )3 passed and became effective January
1, 2018. The TCJA, in part, amends the Internal Revenue Code to reduce the FIT rate applicable
to Oncor from 35% to 21%. Thus, consistent with the Commission's order in Docket No.
469574 and the approval in Docket No. 479885 of Oncor's last interim transmission cost of
' Tex. Util. Code Ann. §§ 11.001-58.302 (West 2016 & Supp. 2017), §§ 59.001-66.016 (West 2007 &
Supp. 2017) ("PURA").
2 See Application of Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC for Authority to Change Rates, Docket No.
46957, Order (Oct. 13, 2017).
3 Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Tiles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget
for Fiscal Year 2018, Pub. L. No. 115-97, 113 Stat. 2054 (Dec. 22, 2017).
4 Docket No. 46957, Order at 15, Ordering Paragraph No. 3:
If the corporate federal income tax rate is significantly decreased before Oncor's
next base -rate case, when the change becomes effective, Oncor shall record as a
1
3
service ("TCOS") update, Oncor has filed this proceeding to reduce its rates based on the TCJA
and refund revenues collected through its current rates from January 1, 2018 until the effective
date of the new rates proposed in this proceeding (see Section V below).
As detailed in the direct testimony supporting this Application, the Company has
calculated modified, decreased rates that reflect the lower 21 % FIT rate for its baseline revenues
set in Docket No. 46957, the increase in its excess accumulated deferred federal income taxes
("excess ADFIT") created by the lower 21 % FIT rate, and the appropriate amortization of this
excess ADFIT. This Application addresses these TCJA impacts on a comprehensive basis for
Oncor's transmission and distribution rates.6 As further discussed below, the Company has
included proposed, revised tariffs that are designed to return approximately $181 million to its
customers.7
Oncor is not requesting recovery of rate -case expenses associated with this proceeding at
this time, but it will track those expenses and reserves the right to defer, and request recovery of,
its reasonable and necessary rate -case expenses at a later time.
regulatory liability the amount that Oncor collects through the approved revenue
requirement included in its rates for federal income taxes that is above the new
corporate federal income tax rate ... Any excess deferred taxes created by tax
rate changes will be returned to ratepayers as prescribed by the Commission and
in accordance with the normalization rules prescribed under federal income tax
law.
5 Application of Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC for Interim Update of Wholesale Transmission
Rates, Docket No. 47988, Notice of Approval at 5, Ordering Paragraph No. 6 (Mar. 27, 2018) (addressing the timing
and substance, in part, of this rate decrease filing).
6 In its most recent interim TCOS update, Oncor received approval of transmission rates that reflect the
lower 2 1 % FIT rate for both existing and incremental revenues (returning approximately $52 million), however, that
approved rate did not address the impacts of excess ADFIT. Id. at 5, Ordering Paragraph No. 6 ("On or before May
1, 2018, Oncor shall initiate a separate tax proceeding to return to Oncor's customers the protected and net
unprotected excess ADFIT—for both transmission and distribution —that have resulted from the TCJA."). To the
extent any Oncor transmission or distribution rates do not reflect the full impact of the TCJA, this Application now
addresses those impacts.
In addition to the approximately $52 million that Oncor returned through its Docket No. 47988 interim
TCOS update, and the approximately $181 million it seeks to return through this filing, Company witness Bonnie L.
Clutter's direct testimony explains the approximately $30 million regulatory liability as of March 1, 2018, which
captures the excess amounts collected at rates based on a 35% FIT rate. Company witness J. Michael Sherburne's
direct testimony addresses the timing and methodology of Oncor's proposed refund of these amounts.

All pleadings, orders, discovery requests, and other matters related to this Application
should be served on Oncor by email at regulatory@oncor.com or fax at 214.486.3221 and at the
email addresses listed above.
IV. JURISDICTION
The Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over the rates, operations, and services of
Oncor in areas outside municipalities under PURA § 32.001(a)(1) and for those municipalities
3
5
that have ceded jurisdiction to the Commission under PURA § 33.002(b). The Application
includes a list of those municipalities in Attachment 1. Each municipality in Oncor's service
area that has not ceded jurisdiction to the Commission has exclusive jurisdiction over the rates,
operations, and services of Oncor under PURA § 33.001. The Application includes a list of
original jurisdiction municipalities in Attachment 2. The Commission also has sole jurisdiction
over Oncor's transmission rates under PURA § 35.004(d). The Commission also has exclusive
appellate jurisdiction under PURA § 32.001(b) to review de novo an order or ordinance of a
municipality exercising original jurisdiction under PURA. Oncor is filing this Application
simultaneously with all its original jurisdiction municipalities. Oncor will appeal the actions of
those municipalities to the Commission and will seek consolidation of those appeals with this
docket. It is Oncor's intention to seek one set of system -wide rates for all customer classes
served on the Oncor system.
V. PROPOSED TARIFFS AND EFFECTIVE DATES
Consistent with PURA § 36.102(a), Oncor proposes an effective date for its proposed
changes of June 5, 2018, 35 days after filing this Application. The Company notes, however,
that it will not implement the proposed changes to its tariffs until and in accordance with the
Commission's final order, which Oncor requests to include a September 1, 2018 effective date.
Oncor also requests that the form of the proposed riders —Rider TRF — Tax Refund Factor and
Rider WTRF — Wholesale Tax Refund Factor —be approved subject to a compliance filing to be
submitted by the Company for implementation on November 1, 2018. Oncor is also requesting
under 16 TAC § 22.125 that the Commission enter an interim order that approves the Company's
proposed NTS rate effective July 1, 2018, subject to refund or surcharge to the extent the final
approved rate differs from the interim rate. As Mr. Sherburne explains in his direct testimony,
Oncor requests an interim order for the NTS rate so the updated TCOS revenue requirement may
be incorporated into the baseline data to be used in Oncor's next interim TCOS filing.$ Oncor
seeks the parties' agreement that the proposed reduced NTS rate be implemented on an interim
basis. Mr. Sherburne's direct testimony includes excerpts of each of the changed tariff sheets in
s This Application is not an interim TCOS update under 16 TAC § 25.192(h). In an abundance of caution
and to the extent deemed necessary, however, Oncor requests that the Commission grant Oncor a good -cause
exception under 16 TAC § 25.3(b) to the twice -per -year restriction of 16 TAC § 25.192(h)(1).

this filing by mailing a notice substantially in the form included as Attachment 3 by first-class
mail to all retail electric providers serving customers in Oncor's service area and all entities

protective order, under 16 TAC § 22.142(c), for the protection of materials submitted in this
proceeding containing privileged, confidential, competitively sensitive, proprietary trade secret

protective order in the form of Attachment 4 and require all parties to adhere to its terms.

NOTICE OF RATE DECREASE REQUEST
May 1, 2018
Notice to all REPS Certified with the Commission:
On May 1, 2018, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor") filed with the Public Utility
Commission of Texas ("Commission") its Application and Statement of Intent for Authority to
Decrease Rates Based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Application").
Oncor's Application requests a decrease in rates to reflect a reduction in its revenue
requirement based on the lowered federal income tax ("FIT') rate, from 35% to 21 %, applicable
to Oncor under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA"). The Application also quantifies the
amount of excess accumulated deferred FIT that has been recorded as a regulatory liability also
based on the lowered tax rate and the annual amount that will be returned to customers through
reduced FIT expense. The total resulting reduction to Oncor's revenue requirement is a net
decrease in Oncor's transmission and distribution rates of approximately $181 million compared
to Oncor's rates established in Docket No. 46957, its last base -rate case. This is a 4.18%
decrease compared to the $4,332 million revenue requirement approved in that docket. Oncor
is also proposing a refund of the FIT expense amounts in excess of the 21 % rate that have
been collected and deferred since January 1, 2018, through the date the revised tariffs
proposed in the Application are effective. If approved, the decreased rates will be charged to
Oncor's direct customers, all retail electric providers ("REPS"), in those portions of Oncor's
service area under the Commission's jurisdiction. Each such REP is potentially affected by the
proposed change. Depending on REPS' actions, the end -use customer classes of such REPS
are potentially affected by the proposed change. Additionally, the result changes Oncor's
transmission cost of service rates that would impact all load -serving entities in the Electric
Reliability Council of Texas region. Oncor is requesting a July 1, 2018 effective date for its
proposed wholesale rate decrease. For its remaining proposed rate decreases, Oncor
proposes an effective date of June 5, 2018, however, it will not implement the proposed
changes to its tariffs until and in accordance with the Commission's final order, which Oncor
requests to include a September 1, 2018 effective date.
Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon these proceedings, Application of Oncor
Electric Delivery Company LLC for Authority to Decrease Rates Based on the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017, Docket No. , should notify the Commission as soon as possible, as an
intervention deadline will be imposed. A request to intervene or for further information should

Notice to Customers of Wholesale Transmission:
On May 1, 2018, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor") filed with the Public Utility
Commission of Texas ("Commission") its Application and Statement of Intent for Authority to
Decrease Rates Based on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Application").
Oncor's Application requests a decrease in rates to reflect a reduction in its revenue
requirement based on the lowered federal income tax ("FIT') rate, from 35% to 21 %, applicable
to Oncor under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA"). The Application also quantifies the
amount of excess accumulated deferred FIT that has been recorded as a regulatory liability also
based on the lowered tax rate and the annual amount that will be returned to customers through
reduced FIT expense. The total resulting reduction to Oncor's revenue requirement is a net
decrease in Oncor's transmission and distribution rates of approximately $181 million compared
to Oncor's rates established in Docket No. 46957, its last base -rate case. This is a 4.18%
decrease compared to the $4,332 million revenue requirement approved in that docket. Oncor
is also proposing a refund of the FIT expense amounts in excess of the 21 % rate that have
been collected and deferred since January 1, 2018, through the date the revised tariffs
proposed in the Application are effective. If approved, the decreased rates will be charged to
Oncor's direct customers, all retail electric providers ("REPS"), in those portions of Oncor's
service area under the Commission's jurisdiction. Each such REP is potentially affected by the
proposed change. Depending on REPS' actions, the end -use customer classes of such REPS
are potentially affected by the proposed change. Additionally, the result changes Oncor's
transmission cost of service rates that would impact all load -serving entities in the Electric
Reliability Council of Texas region. Oncor is requesting a July 1, 2018 effective date for its
proposed wholesale rate decrease. For its remaining proposed rate decreases, Oncor
proposes an effective date of June 5, 2018, however, it will not implement the proposed
changes to its tariffs until and in accordance with the Commission's final order, which Oncor
requests to include a September 1, 2018 effective date.
Persons who wish to intervene in or comment upon these proceedings, Application of Oncor
Electric Delivery Company LLC for Authority to Decrease Rates Based on the Tax Cuts and
Jobs Act of 2017, Docket No. , should notify the Commission as soon as possible, as an
intervention deadline will be imposed. A request to intervene or for further information should
be mailed to the Public Utility Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin, Texas 78711-
3326. Further information may also be obtained by calling the Commission at (512) 936-7120
or (888) 782-8477. Hearing- and speech -impaired individuals with text telephones (TTY) may
contact the Commission at (512) 936-7136. The deadline for intervention in the proceeding is
June 15, 2018, 45 days after the date the Application was filed with the Commission.

PUC DOCKET NO.
APPLICATION OF ONCOR §
ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY § PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION
LLC FOR AUTHORITY TO §
DECREASE RATES BASED ON THE § OF TEXAS
TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT OF 2017 §
PROTECTIVE ORDER
This Protective Order shall govern the use of all information deemed confidential
(Protected Materials) or highly confidential (Highly Sensitive Protected Materials), including
information whose confidentiality is currently under dispute, by a party providing information to
the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Commission) or to any other party to this proceeding.
It is ORDERED that:
1. DesilInation of Protected Materials. Upon producing or filing a document, including,
but not limited to, records on a computer disk or other similar electronic storage medium
in this proceeding, the producing party may designate that document, or any portion of it,
as confidential pursuant to this Protective Order by typing or stamping on its face
"PROTECTED PURSUANT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER ISSUED IN DOCKET NO.
" (or words to this effect) and consecutively Bates Stamping each page. Protected
Materials and Highly Sensitive Protected Materials include the documents so designated,
as well as the substance of the information contained in the documents and any
description, report, summary, or statement about the substance of the information
contained in the documents.
2. Materials Excluded from Protected Materials Designation. Protected Materials shall
not include any information or document contained in the public files of the Commission
or any other federal or state agency, court, or local governmental authority subject to the
Public Information Act.' Protected Materials also shall not include documents or
information which at the time of, or prior to disclosure in, a proceeding is or was public

knowledge, or which becomes public knowledge other than through disclosure in
violation of this Protective Order.
3. Reviewing Party. For the purposes of this Protective Order, a "Reviewing Party" is any
party to this docket.
4. Procedures for Designation of Protected Materials. On or before the date the
Protected Materials or Highly Sensitive Protected Materials are provided to the
Commission, the producing party shall file with the Commission and deliver to each
party to the proceeding a written statement, which may be in the form of an objection,
indicating: (a) any exemptions to the Public Information Act claimed to apply to the
alleged Protected Materials; (b) the reasons supporting the producing party's claim that
the responsive information is exempt from public disclosure under the Public Information
Act and subject to treatment as protected materials; and (c) that counsel for the producing
party has reviewed the information sufficiently to state in good faith that the information
is exempt from public disclosure under the Public Information Act and merits the
Protected Materials designation.
5. Persons Permitted Access to Protected Materials. Except as otherwise provided in
this Protective Order, a Reviewing Party may access Protected Materials only through its
"Reviewing Representatives" who have signed the Protective Order Certification Form
(see Attachment A). Reviewing Representatives of a Reviewing Party include its counsel
of record in this proceeding and associated attorneys, paralegals, economists, statisticians,
accountants, consultants, or other persons employed or retained by the Reviewing Party
and directly engaged in this proceeding. At the request of the PUC Commissioners,
copies of Protected Materials may be produced by Commission Staff. The
Commissioners and their staff shall be informed of the existence and coverage of this
Protective Order and shall observe the restrictions of the Protective Order.
6. Highly Sensitive Protected Material Described. The term "Highly Sensitive Protected
Materials" is a subset of Protected Materials and refers to documents or information that
a producing party claims is of such a highly sensitive nature that making copies of such
documents or information or providing access to such documents to employees of the
17
Docket No.
Protective Order
Page 3 of 17
Reviewing Party (except as specified herein) would expose a producing party to
unreasonable risk of harm. Highly Sensitive Protected Materials include but are not
limited to: (a) customer -specific information protected by § 32.101(c) of the Public
Utility Regulatory Act;2 (b) contractual information pertaining to contracts that specify

Documents or information so classified by a producing party shall bear the designation
"HIGHLY SENSITIVE PROTECTED MATERIALS PROVIDED PURSUANT TO
PROTECTIVE ORDER ISSUED IN DOCKET NO. " (or words to this effect)
and shall be consecutively Bates Stamped. The provisions of this Protective Order
pertaining to Protected Materials also apply to Highly Sensitive Protected Materials,
except where this Protective Order provides for additional protections for Highly
Sensitive Protected Materials. In particular, the procedures herein for challenging the
producing party's designation of information as Protected Materials also apply to
information that a producing party designates as Highly Sensitive Protected Materials.
7. Restrictions on Copying and Inspection of Highly Sensitive Protected Material.
Except as expressly provided herein, only one copy may be made of any Highly Sensitive
Protected Materials except that additional copies may be made to have sufficient copies
for introduction of the material into the evidentiary record if the material is to be offered

made of Highly Sensitive Protected Material and shall send a duplicate of the record to
the producing party when the copy or copies are made. The record shall specify the
location and the person possessing the copy. Highly Sensitive Protected Material shall be
made available for inspection only at the location or locations provided by the producing

Protective Order
Page 6 of 17
Sensitive Protected Materials received by it to the agreed, appropriate members of their
outside consultants for review, provided such outside consultants first sign the
certification in Attachment A.
13. Restriction on Copying by Commission Staff, OPC and the OAG. Except as allowed
by Paragraph 7, Commission Staff, OPC and the OAG may not make additional copies of
the Highly Sensitive Protected Materials furnished to them unless the producing party
agrees in writing otherwise, or, upon a showing of good cause, the presiding officer
directs otherwise. Commission Staff, OPC, and the OAG may make limited notes of
Highly Sensitive Protected Materials furnished to them, and all such handwritten notes
will be treated as Highly Sensitive Protected Materials as are the materials from which
the notes are taken.
14. Public Information Requests. In the event of a request for any of the Highly Sensitive
Protected Materials under the Public Information Act, an authorized representative of the
Commission, OPC, or the OAG may furnish a copy of the requested Highly Sensitive
Protected Materials to the Open Records Division at the OAG together with a copy of
this Protective Order after notifying the producing party that such documents are being

delivery of the Highly Sensitive Protected Materials to the OAG.
15. Required Certification. Each person who inspects the Protected Materials shall, before
such inspection, agree in writing to the following certification found in Attachment A to
this Protective Order:
I certify my understanding that the Protected Materials are provided to me
pursuant to the terms and restrictions of the Protective Order in this
docket, and that I have been given a copy of it and have read the
Protective Order and agree to be bound by it. I understand that the
contents of the Protected Materials, any notes, memoranda, or any other
form of information regarding or derived from the Protected Materials
shall not be disclosed to anyone other than in accordance with the
Protective Order and unless I am an employee of the Commission or OPC
shall be used only for the purpose of the proceeding in Docket No.
I acknowledge that the obligations imposed by this certification are

Material under the terms of the Protective Order in this docket.
The Reviewing Party shall provide a copy of each signed certification to Counsel for the
producing party and serve a copy upon all parties of record.
16. Disclosures between Reviewing Representatives and Continuation of Disclosure
Restrictions after a Person is no Longer Engaged in the Proceeding. Any Reviewing
Representative may disclose Protected Materials, other than Highly Sensitive Protected
Materials, to any other person who is a Reviewing Representative provided that, if the
person to whom disclosure is to be made has not executed and provided for delivery of a
signed certification to the party asserting confidentiality, that certification shall be
executed prior to any disclosure. A Reviewing Representative may disclose Highly
Sensitive Protected Material to other Reviewing Representatives who are permitted
access to such material and have executed the additional certification required for persons
who receive access to Highly Sensitive Protected Material. In the event that any
Reviewing Representative to whom Protected Materials are disclosed ceases to be
engaged in these proceedings, access to Protected Materials by that person shall be
terminated and all notes, memoranda, or other information derived from the protected
material shall either be destroyed or given to another Reviewing Representative of that
party who is authorized pursuant to this Protective Order to receive the protected

17. Producing Party to Provide One Copy of Certain Protected Material and
Procedures for Making Additional Copies of Such Materials. Except for Highly
Sensitive Protected Materials, which shall be provided to the Reviewing Parties pursuant
to Paragraphs 9, and voluminous Protected Materials, the producing party shall provide a
Reviewing Party one copy of the Protected Materials upon receipt of the signed
certification described in Paragraph 15. Except for Highly Sensitive Protected Materials,
a Reviewing Party may make further copies of Protected Materials for use in this
proceeding pursuant to this Protective Order, but a record shall be maintained as to the
documents reproduced and the number of copies made, and upon request the Reviewing
Party shall provide the party asserting confidentiality with a copy of that record.
18. Procedures Regarding Voluminous Protected Materials. P.U.C. PROC. R. 22.144(h)
will govern production of voluminous Protected Materials. Voluminous Protected
Materials will be made available in the producing party's voluminous room, in Austin,
Texas, or at a mutually agreed upon location, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. (except on state or Federal holidays), and at other mutually convenient times
upon reasonable request.
19. Reviewing Period Defined. The Protected Materials may be reviewed only during the
Reviewing Period, which shall commence upon entry of this Protective Order and
continue until the expiration of the Commission's plenary jurisdiction. The Reviewing
Period shall reopen if the Commission regains jurisdiction due to a remand as provided
by law. Protected materials that are admitted into the evidentiary record or
accompanying the evidentiary record as offers of proof may be reviewed throughout the
pendency of this proceeding and any appeals.
20. Procedures for Making Copies of Voluminous Protected Materials. Other than
Highly Sensitive Protected Materials, Reviewing Parties may take notes regarding the
information contained in voluminous Protected Materials made available for inspection
or they may make photographic, mechanical or electronic copies of the Protected
Materials, subject to the conditions in this Protective Order; provided, however, that
before photographic, mechanical or electronic copies may be made, the Reviewing Party
23
Docket No.
Protective Order
Page 9 of 17
seeking photographic, mechanical or electronic copies must provide written confirmation
of the receipt of copies listed on Attachment B of this Protective Order identifying each
piece of Protected Materials or portions thereof the Reviewing Party will need.
21. Protected Materials to be Used Solely for the Purposes of These Proceedinsts. All
Protected Materials shall be made available to the Reviewing Parties and their Reviewing
Representatives solely for the purposes of these proceedings. Access to the Protected
Materials may not be used in the furtherance of any other purpose, including, without
limitation: (a) any other pending or potential proceeding involving any claim, complaint,
or other grievance of whatever nature, except appellate review proceedings that may arise
from or be subject to these proceedings; or (b) any business or competitive endeavor of
whatever nature. Because of their statutory regulatory obligations, these restrictions do
not apply to Commission Staff or OPC.
22. Procedures for Confidential Treatment of Protected Materials and Information
Derived from Those Materials. Protected Materials, as well as a Reviewing Party's
notes, memoranda, or other information regarding or derived from the Protected
Materials are to be treated confidentially by the Reviewing Party and shall not be
disclosed or used by the Reviewing Party except as permitted and provided in this
Protective Order. Information derived from or describing the Protected Materials shall be
maintained in a secure place and shall not be placed in the public or general files of the
Reviewing Party except in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order. A
Reviewing Party must take all reasonable precautions to insure that the Protected
Materials including notes and analyses made from Protected Materials that disclose
Protected Materials are not viewed or taken by any person other than a Reviewing
Representative of a Reviewing Party.
23. Procedures for Submission of Protected Materials. If a Reviewing Party tenders for
filing any Protected Materials, including Highly Sensitive Protected Materials, or any
written testimony, exhibit, brief, motion or other type of pleading or other submission at
the Commission or before any other judicial body that quotes from Protected Materials or
discloses the content of Protected Materials, the confidential portion of such submission
24
Docket No. Protective Order Page 10 of 17
shall be filed and served in sealed envelopes or other appropriate containers endorsed to
the effect that they contain Protected Material or Highly Sensitive Protected Material and
are sealed pursuant to this Protective Order. If filed at the Commission, such documents
shall be marked "PROTECTED MATERIAL" and shall be filed under seal with the
presiding officer and served under seal to the counsel of record for the Reviewing Parties.
The presiding officer may subsequently, on his/her own motion or on motion of a party,
issue a ruling respecting whether or not the inclusion, incorporation or reference to
Protected Materials is such that such submission should remain under seal. If filing
before a judicial body, the filing party: (a) shall notify the party which provided the
information within sufficient time so that the producing party may seek a temporary
sealing order; and (b) shall otherwise follow the procedures in Rule 76a, Texas Rules of
Civil Procedure.
24. Maintenance of Protected Status of Materials during Pendency of Appeal of Order
Holding Materials are not Protected Materials. In the event that the presiding officer
at any time in the course of this proceeding finds that all or part of the Protected
Materials are not confidential or proprietary, by finding, for example, that such materials
have entered the public domain or materials claimed to be Highly Sensitive Protected
Materials are only Protected Materials, those materials shall nevertheless be subject to the
protection afforded by this Protective Order for three (3) full working days, unless
otherwise ordered, from the date the party asserting confidentiality receives notice of the
presiding officer's order. Such notification will be by written communication. This
provision establishes a deadline for appeal of a presiding officer's order to the
Commission. In the event an appeal to the Commissioners is filed within those three (3)
working days from notice, the Protected Materials shall be afforded the confidential
treatment and status provided in this Protective Order during the pendency of such
appeal. Neither the party asserting confidentiality nor any Reviewing Parry waives its
right to seek additional administrative or judicial remedies after the Commission's denial
of any appeal.
25
Docket No. Protective Order Page 11 of 17
25. Notice of Intent to Use Protected Materials or Change Materials Designation.
Parties intending to use Protected Materials shall notify the other parties prior to offering
them into evidence or otherwise disclosing such information into the record of the
proceeding. During the pendency of Docket No. at the commission, in the evens
that a Reviewing Party wishes to disclose Protected Materials to any person to whom
disclosure is not authorized by this Protective Order, or wishes to have changed the
designation of certain information or material as Protected Materials by alleging, for
example, that such information or material has entered the public domain, such
Reviewing Parry shall first file and serve on all parties written notice of such proposed
disclosure or request for change in designation, identifying with particularity each of such
Protected Materials. A Reviewing Party shall at any time be able to file a written motion
to challenge the designation of information as Protected Materials.
26. Procedures to Contest Disclosure or Change in Designation. In the event that the
party asserting confidentiality wishes to contest a proposed disclosure or request for
change in designation, the party asserting confidentiality shall file with the appropriate
presiding officer its objection to a proposal, with supporting affidavits, if any, within five
(5) working days after receiving such notice of proposed disclosure or change in
designation. Failure of the party asserting confidentiality to file such an objection within
this period shall be deemed a waiver of objection to the proposed disclosure or request
for change in designation. Within five (5) working days after the party asserting
confidentiality files its objection and supporting materials, the party challenging
confidentiality may respond. Any such response shall include a statement by counsel for
the party challenging such confidentiality that he or she has reviewed all portions of the
materials in dispute and, without disclosing the Protected Materials, a statement as to
why the Protected Materials should not be held to be confidential under current legal
standards, or that the parry asserting confidentiality for some reason did not allow such
counsel to review such materials. If either party wishes to submit the material in question
for in camera inspection, it shall do so no later than five (5) working days after the party
challenging confidentiality has made its written filing.
26
Docket No. Protective Order Page 12 of 17
27. Procedures for Presiding Officer Determination Regarding Proposed_ Disclosure or
Change in Designation. If the party asserting confidentiality files an objection, the
appropriate presiding officer will determine whether the proposed disclosure or change in
designation is appropriate. Upon the request of either the producing or Reviewing Party
or upon the presiding officer's own initiative, the presiding officer may conduct a
prehearing conference. The burden is on the party asserting confidentiality to show that
such proposed disclosure or change in designation should not be made. If the presiding
officer determines that such proposed disclosure or change in designation should be
made, disclosure shall not take place earlier than three (3) full working days after such
determination unless otherwise ordered. No party waives any right to seek additional
administrative or judicial remedies concerning such presiding officer's ruling.
28. Maintenance of Protected Status during Periods Specified for Challenging Various
Orders. Any party electing to challenge, in the courts of this state, a Commission or
presiding officer determination allowing disclosure or a change in designation shall have
a period of ten (10) days from: (a) the date of an unfavorable Commission order; or (b) if
the Commission does not rule on an appeal of an interim order, the date an appeal of an
interim order to the Commission is overruled by operation of law, to obtain a favorable
ruling in state district court. Any party challenging a state district court determination
allowing disclosure or a change in designation shall have an additional period of ten (10)
days from the date of the order to obtain a favorable ruling from a state appeals court.
Finally, any party challenging a determination of a state appeals court allowing disclosure
or a change in designation shall have an additional period of ten (10) days from the date
of the order to obtain a favorable ruling from the state supreme court, or other appellate
court. All Protected Materials shall be afforded the confidential treatment and status
provided for in this Protective Order during the periods for challenging the various orders
referenced in this paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph, a favorable ruling of a state
district court, state appeals court, Supreme Court or other appellate court includes any
order extending the deadlines in this paragraph.
27
Docket No. Protective Order Page 13 of 17
29. Other Grounds for Objection to Use of Protected Materials Remain Applicable.
Nothing in this Protective Order shall be construed as precluding any party from
objecting to the use of Protected Materials on grounds other than confidentiality,
including the lack of required relevance. Nothing in this Protective Order constitutes a
waiver of the right to argue for more disclosure, provided, however, that unless the
Commission or a court orders such additional disclosure, all parties will abide by the
restrictions imposed by the Protective Order.
30. Protection of Materials from Unauthorized Disclosure. All notices, applications,
responses or other correspondence shall be made in a manner which protects Protected
Materials from unauthorized disclosure.
31. Return of Copies of Protected Materials and Destruction of Information Derived
from Protected Materials. Following the conclusion of these proceedings, each
Reviewing Party must, no later than thirty (30) days following receipt of the notice
described below, return to the party asserting confidentiality all copies of the Protected
Materials provided by that parry pursuant to this Protective Order and all copies
reproduced by a Reviewing Party, and counsel for each Reviewing Party must provide to
the parry asserting confidentiality a letter by counsel that, to the best of his or her
knowledge, information, and belief, all copies of notes, memoranda, and other documents
regarding or derived from the Protected Materials (including copies of Protected
Materials) that have not been so returned, if any, have been destroyed, other than notes,
memoranda, or other documents which contain information in a form which, if made
public, would not cause disclosure of the substance of Protected Materials. As used in
this Protective Order, "conclusion of these proceedings" refers to the exhaustion of
available appeals, or the running of the time for the making of such appeals, as provided
by applicable law. If, following any appeal, the Commission conducts a remand
proceeding, then the "conclusion of these proceedings" is extended by the remand to the
exhaustion of available appeals of the remand, or the running of the time for making such
appeals of the remand, as provided by applicable law. Promptly following the conclusion
of these proceedings, counsel for the party asserting confidentiality will send a written
28

notice to all other parties, reminding them of their obligations under this Paragraph.
Nothing in this Paragraph shall prohibit counsel for each Reviewing Party from retaining
two (2) copies of any filed testimony, brief, application for rehearing, hearing exhibit or
other pleading which refers to Protected Materials provided that any such Protected
Materials retained by counsel shall remain subject to the provisions of this Protective
Order.
32. Applicability of Other Law. This Protective Order is subject to the requirements of the
Public Information Act, the Open Meetings Act,3 the Texas Securities Act4 and any other
applicable law, provided that parties subject to those acts will notify the party asserting
confidentiality, if possible under those acts, prior to disclosure pursuant to those acts.
Such notice shall not be required where the Protected Materials are sought by
governmental officials authorized to conduct a criminal or civil investigation that relates
to or involves the Protected Materials, and those governmental officials aver in writing
that such notice could compromise the investigation and that the governmental entity
involved will maintain the confidentiality. of the Protected Materials.
33. Procedures for Release of Information under Order. If required by order of a
governmental or judicial body, the Reviewing Parry may release to such body the
confidential information required by such order; provided, however, that: (a) the

specified in this section shall not be required where the Protected Materials are sought by
governmental officials authorized to conduct a criminal or civil investigation that relates
to or involves the Protected Materials, and those governmental officials aver in writing
that such notice could compromise the investigation and that the governmental entity
involved will maintain the confidentiality of the Protected Materials.
34. Best Efforts Defined. The term "best efforts" as used in the preceding paragraph
requires that the Reviewing Party attempt to ensure that disclosure is not made unless
.such disclosure is pursuant to a final order of a Texas governmental or Texas judicial
body, the written opinion of the Texas Attorney General sought in compliance with the
Public Information Act, or the request of governmental officials authorized to conduct a
criminal or civil investigation that relates to or involves the Protected Materials. The
Reviewing Party is not required to delay compliance with a lawful order to disclose such
information but is simply required to timely notify the party asserting confidentiality, or
its counsel, that it has received a challenge to the confidentiality of the information and
that the Reviewing Parry will either proceed under the provisions of §552.301 of the
Public Information Act, or intends to comply with the final governmental or court order.
Provided, however, that no notice is required where the Protected Materials are sought by
governmental officials authorized to conduct a criminal or civil investigation that relates
to or involves the Protected Materials, and those governmental officials aver in writing
that such notice could compromise the investigation and that the governmental entity
involved will maintain the confidentiality of the Protected Materials.
35. Notify Defined. "Notify" for purposes of Paragraphs 32, 33 and 34 means written notice
to the party asserting confidentiality at least five (5) calendar days prior to release;
including when a Reviewing Parry receives a request under the Public Information Act.
However, the Commission, OAG, or OPC may provide a copy of Protected Materials to
the Open Records Division of the OAG as provided herein.
36. Requests for Non -Disclosure. If the producing party asserts that the requested
information should not be disclosed at all, or should not be disclosed to certain parties
under the protection afforded by this Protective Order, the producing party shall tender
30
Docket No. Protective Order Page 16 of 17
the information for in camera review to the presiding officer within ten (10) calendar
days of the request. At the same time, the producing party shall file and serve on all
parties its argument, including any supporting affidavits, in support of its position of non-
disclosure. The burden is on the producing party to establish that the material should not
be disclosed. The producing party shall serve a copy of the information under the
classification of Highly Sensitive Protected Material to all parties requesting the
information that the producing party has not alleged should be prohibited from reviewing
the information.
Parties wishing to respond to the producing party's argument for non -disclosure shall do
so within five working days. Responding parties should explain why the information
should be disclosed to them, including why disclosure is necessary for a fair adjudication
of the case if the material is determined to constitute a trade secret. If the presiding
officer finds that the information should be disclosed as Protected Material under the
terms of this Protective Order, the presiding officer shall stay the order of disclosure for
such period of time as the presiding officer deems necessary to allow the producing party
to appeal the ruling to the Commission.
37. Sanctions Available for Abuse of Designation. If the presiding officer finds that a
producing party unreasonably designated material as Protected Material or as Highly
Sensitive Protected Material, or unreasonably attempted to prevent disclosure pursuant to
Paragraph 36, the presiding officer may sanction the producing party pursuant to P.U.C.
PRoc. R. 22.161.
38. Modification of Protective Order. Each party shall have the right to seek changes in
this Protective Order as appropriate from the presiding officer.
39. Breach of Protective Order. In the event of a breach of the provisions of this Protective
Order, the producing party, if it sustains its burden of proof required to establish the right
to injunctive relief, shall be entitled to an injunction against such breach without any
requirements to post bond as a condition of such relief. The producing party shall not be
relieved of proof of any element required to establish the right to injunctive relief. In
31
Docket No. Protective Order Page 17 of 17
addition to injunctive relief, the producing party shall be entitled to pursue any other form
of relief to which it is entitled.

DIRECT TESTIMONY OF J. MICHAEL SHERBURNE
1 I. POSITION AND QUALIFICATIONS
2 Q. PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME, BUSINESS ADDRESS, AND CURRENT
3 EMPLOYMENT POSITION.
4 A. My name is J. Michael Sherburne. My business address is 1616 Woodall
5 Rodgers Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75202. 1 am the Senior Director - Rates
6 and Financial Analysis for Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor'
7 or "Company").
8 Q. PLEASE DISCUSS YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND AND
9 PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS.
10 A. I graduated from Louisiana State University in December 1979 with a
11 Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. In August 1989, 1
12 received the degree of Master of Business Administration from the
13 University of Dallas. I began employment with Dallas Power & Light
14 Company ("DP&L") in June 1980 as an Engineer, Jr. in the Research and
15 Development Section of the Distribution Department where I was
16 responsible for testing and evaluating new equipment and technologies for
17 application on the distribution system and analyzing the root cause for
18 equipment failures on the distribution system. In June 1984, 1 was named
19 Section Head - Overhead and Underground Operations in the DP&L
20 Distribution Department. In that role, I was responsible for a group of
21 distribution operation technicians that located underground cable faults,
22 transformer overloads, and arranged for clearances (planned outages) in
23 the downtown Dallas network and surrounding areas that enabled the
24 Company and customers to perform necessary maintenance and/or add
25 additional load to the system. In April 1986, 1 was named Senior Engineer
26 in the DP&L Distribution Design Division of the Engineering Department
27 where, among other things, I worked to standardize the line extension
28 policy for the three electric operation divisions of Texas Utilities Electric
29 Company and began working on a remote meter reading system for a high

1 rise apartment complex in Dallas. In December 1987, 1 was named
2 Manager, Facilities Management for DP&L and became responsible for
3 the construction, operation, and maintenance of DP&L office facilities. 1
4 continued that responsibility until February 1991, when I was named to the
5 position of Rates and Cost Analysis Manager for Texas Utilities Electric
6 Company. In that role, I had responsibility for interpreting and
7 administering the Company's Tariff for Electric Service, determining the
8 appropriate rate class cost allocation methodology for the Company's rate
9 class cost of service, and reviewing and participating in rulemakings at the
10 Public Utility Commission of Texas ("Commission"). In May 1999, 1 was
11 named Electric Rates Manager - TXU Business Services and became the
12 Company's advocate in virtually all of the rulemakings associated with the
13 opening of the retail electricity market in the Electric Reliability Council of
14 Texas. I participated in countless workshops dealing with the unbundling
15 rules, especially the creation of the Pro Forma Tariff for Retail Delivery
16 Service (Commission Substantive Rule 25.241). Subsequent to the
17 opening of the retail market in Texas, I continued to represent the
18 Company in rate and regulatory proceedings at the Commission. In
19 February 2008, 1 was named Director — Rates and Retail Regulation for
20 Oncor, and in April, 2009, 1 was named to my current position of Senior
21 Director — Rates & Financial Analysis for Oncor.
22 1 am a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas, a
23 member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and a past
24 Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Rates and Regulatory Affairs
25 Committee of the Edison Electric Institute.
26 Q. HAVE YOU PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED TESTIMONY BEFORE THE
27 COMMISSION?
28 A. Yes. See my Exhibit JMS-1 for a list of the Commission proceedings in
29 which I have provided testimony.

1 II. PURPOSE OF DIRECT TESTIMONY
2 Q. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR DIRECT TESTIMONY IN THIS
3 PROCEEDING?
4 A. As a result of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 ("TCJA"), the Company's
5 federal income tax ("FIT") rate was reduced from 35% to 21 % and this FIT
6 rate also created a reduction in FIT expense related to the increased
7 amortization of excess accumulated deferred federal income taxes
8 ("ADFIT").' The effective date of these changes was January 1, 2018.
9 Based on Finding of Fact No. 27 and Ordering Paragraph No. 3 of the
10 Order in Docket No. 46957,2 the Company is required to reduce its rates
11 based on the lower tax expense and to refund monies collected through its
12 current rates from January 1 until the effective date of the new rates I am
13 proposing in this proceeding. Thus the purpose of my direct testimony is
14 to:
15 calculate the rate revisions for each retail delivery service rate
16 class based on the reduction in the Company's FIT rate to 21 %
17 under the TCJA and the reduction in FIT expense related to the
18 excess ADFIT effects created by the lower FIT rate;
19 calculate the rate revisions for the Wholesale Substation
20 Service and the Wholesale Distribution Line Service rate
21 classes based on the TCJA and the excess ADFIT effects;
22 • sponsor revisions to Oncor's Tariff for Retail Delivery Service
23 associated with the TCJA and the excess ADFIT effects;
24 sponsor revisions to Oncor's Tariffs for Wholesale Substation
25 Service and Wholesale Distribution Line Service associated with
26 the TCJA and the excess ADFIT effects;
Refer to the direct testimony of Company witness Ms. Bonnie L. Clutter for a detailed
explanation of the effects of the TCJA on the Company's amortization of excess ADFIT.

1 • support revisions to Oncor's Network Transmission Service
2 ("NTS") Tariff associated with the excess ADFIT effects to be
3 approved by and to take effect on July 1, 2018;3
4 • calculate the amount to be refunded to transmission and
5 distribution utilities served under the Company's NTS Tariff
6 associated with the FIT rate change for the period from January
7 1, 2018 through March 26, 2018, and determine the amount and
8 duration of the associated monthly bill credits;
9 sponsor the proposed Rider WTRF-N — Wholesale Tax Refund
10 Factor (NTS) showing the refund to transmission and
11 distribution utilities served under the Company's NTS Tariff;
12 propose a true -up mechanism to be used to refund amounts
13 collected under the current rates between January 1, 2018 and
14 the effective date of the tariff changes described above and
15 propose the form of the tariff riders to be used to effect these
16 refunds (proposed Rider TRF and Rider WTRF); and
17 calculate revised surcharge amounts for Rider RS — Remand
18 Surcharge and Rider WRS — Wholesale Remand Surcharge to
19 reflect the 21 % FIT rate.
20 My direct testimony, exhibits, and workpapers were prepared by me
21 or under my direction, supervision, or control, and are true and correct.
3 The effects of the 21% FIT rate were previously incorporated in the Company's Rate
NTS — Network Transmission Service effective March 27, 2018, in accordance with the Notice of
Approval in the Company's most recent interim transmission cost of service ("TCOS") update —
Application of Oncor Electric Delivery LLC for Interim Update of Wholesale Transmission Rates,

1 III. PROPOSED REVISIONS IN RETAIL DELIVERY SERVICE
2 RATES AND WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION RATES
3 Q. PLEASE DESCRIBE THE PROCESS YOU USED TO CALCULATE THE
4 PROPOSED RATE REVISIONS FOR THE COMPANY'S RETAIL
5 DELIVERY SERVICE RATES, WHOLESALE SUBSTATION SERVICE
6 RATE, AND WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION LINE SERVICE RATE.
7 A. I used a multi -step process to calculate the rate revisions. The results of
8 this process are presented in my Exhibits JMS-2 through JMS-5, which 1
9 will describe in detail below.
10 A. Changes to the Functionalized Revenue Requirement Related to
11 TCJA and Excess ADFIT
12 Q. HOW DID YOU DETERMINE THE CHANGES TO THE COMPANY'S
13 FUNCTIONALIZED REVENUE REQUIREMENT AS A RESULT OF THE
14 TCJA AND THE EXCESS ADFIT EFFECTS?
15 A. My Exhibit JMS-2 entitled "Adjustment for Change To Final Order (Tax
16 Rate 35%) for TCJA and EXDFIT" 4 shows the functionalized Revenue
17 Requirements for the Return on Rate Base and the major expense
18 categories (e.g., Depreciation) for two separate scenarios — one
19 designated "Final Order" 5 that is based on an FIT rate of 35%, and
20 another designated "TCJA and EXDFIT" that applies the effects of the
21 TCJA and excess ADFIT impacts. To determine the impacts of the TCJA
22 and excess ADFIT effects on the Customer, Meter, and Distribution
23 Functions, I compared the results of the second scenario (shown under
24 the heading "TCJA and EXDFIT") to the first scenario (shown under the
25 heading "Final Order"). This comparison is shown on the lower portion of
26 Exhibit JMS-2 under the heading "Difference between TCJA/EXDFIT and
27 Final Order."
4 On my exhibits, I use the term "EXDFIT" to mean "excess ADFIT."
5 This designation applies to the Order in Docket No. 46957.

1 Q. CAN YOU PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THE COMPARISON YOU
2 DISCUSSED ABOVE THAT APPEARS ON EXHIBIT JMS-2?
3 A. Yes. I will use the Revenue Requirement for the "Meter" function to
4 illustrate. In the first scenario, the total revenue requirement for the Meter
5 function is $279,495,004 (refer to column (c), Line No. 13), while in the
6 second scenario, the total revenue requirement for the Meter function is
7 $275,782,243 (refer to column (c), Line No. 37). The difference in these
8 two values, shown under the heading "Difference between TCJA/EXDFIT
9 and Final Order," is ($3,712,761) (refer to column (c), Line No. 61). This
10 value represents the reduction in the revenue requirement for the Meter
11 function that I will later allocate to the individual rate classes in order to
12 calculate the appropriate reduction in the Meter Charge for the individual
13 rates.
14 Q. HOW DID YOU DETERMINE THE FUNCTIONALIZED VALUES FOR
15 RETURN ON RATE BASE AND THE EXPENSE CATEGORIES IN THE
16 TWO SCENARIOS DESCRIBED ABOVE?
17 A. The values in the first scenario (shown under the heading "Final Order" in
18 Exhibit JMS-2) are the bases for the values used to design the Company's
19 current retail delivery service and wholesale distribution rates. The
20 Commission approved these rates in Oncor's most recent base -rate case,
21 Docket No. 46957. 1 am including the detailed calculations supporting
22 these values as my Workpaper JMS/WP-1.
23 The values in the second scenario (shown under the heading
24 "TCJA and EXDFIT" in Exhibit JMS-2) were determined by re -running the
25 Company's cost -of -service model used in Docket No. 46957 to incorporate
26 the changes in Rate Base and in the other expense categories that result
27 directly from the TCJA and the excess ADFIT effects. These effects are
28 described in the direct testimony of Company witness Ms. Bonnie L.
29 Clutter. It is important to note that the changes described by Ms. Clutter
30 do not affect the operation of the cost -of -service model used in Docket No.

46957. The model appropriately reflects the revised accounting data. I am
2
including the detailed calculations from the Company's cost -of -service
3
model supporting the values in the second scenario as my Workpaper
4
JMS/WP-2.
5
Q.
WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE PROCESS?
6
A.
The next step in the process is to allocate the Revenue Requirements
7
shown on Exhibit JMS-2 to the Retail and Wholesale Distribution Rate
8
Classes. This step is described below.
9
B. Allocation of the Functionalized Revenue Requirement to the
10
Individual Rate Classes
11
Q.
HOW DID YOU ALLOCATE THE REVENUE REQUIREMENT SHOWN IN
12
EXHIBIT JMS-2 TO THE COMPANY'S RETAIL AND WHOLESALE
13
DISTRIBUTION RATE CLASSES?
14
A.
Exhibit JMS-3, entitled "Allocation of Functionalized Revenue
15
Requirements," shows how the functionalized Revenue Requirements
16
shown in Exhibit JMS-2 are allocated to the individual rate classes. The
17
values appearing in column (b) entitled "Final Order" are the bases used
18
to design the Company's current retail and wholesale distribution rates.
19
The detailed calculations supporting these values are also included in my
20
Workpaper JMS/WP-1. Similarly, the values appearing in column (c)
21
entitled "TCJA & EXDFIT" reflecting the changes resulting from the TCJA
22
and the excess ADFIT effects were determined using the same cost-of-
23
service model that was used to produce Exhibit JMS-2, included as my
24
Workpaper JMS/WP-2.
25
Q.
CAN YOU PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THE RATE CLASS
26
ALLOCATION PROCESS THAT APPEARS ON EXHIBIT JMS-3?
27
A.
Yes. I will again use the Revenue Requirement for the "Mete►" function —
28
referred to as the "Meter Cost Allocation" — to illustrate. Line No. 29,
29
column (b) shows the same total Revenue Requirement Amount of
30
$279,495,004 for the "Final Order" that appears on Exhibit JMS-2 (Line
Sherburne Direct
Oncor Electric Delivery
FIT -Related Rate Reduction
-10-
44
1 No. 13, column (c)). In the rate class allocation process, this total is
2 spread to the individual rate classes, and the results are shown in Line
3 Nos. 19-28. Column (c) of Exhibit JMS-3 shows a similar allocation of the
4 revised costs reflecting the TCJA and excess ADFIT effects based on the
5 rate class allocation process to the individual rate classes, and column (d)
6 entitled "Change in Revenue Requirement" shows the difference between
7 columns (b) and (c). Similar results of the allocation process for the
8 Customer Function are shown in Line Nos. 1-13, under the heading
9 "Customer Cost Allocation" and for the Distribution Function in Line Nos.
10 31-43 under the heading "Distribution System Cost Allocation."
11 The values in column (d) show the changes in the revenue
12 requirement for each rate class for the Customer, Meter, and Distribution
13 functions. These changes form the basis for the rate changes related to
14 TCJA and excess ADFIT, the calculation of which is the next step in the
15 process.
16 C. Calculation of Rate Changes for TCJA and Excess ADFIT
17 Q. HOW DID YOU CALCULATE THE RATE CHANGE AMOUNTS FOR
18 EACH RETAIL AND WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION RATE CLASS
19 SHOWN IN EXHIBIT JMS-4?
20 A. Page 1 of Exhibit JMS-4, entitled "Calculation of Changes in Rates Due to
21 TCJA and EXDFIT," shows these calculations for each rate class and
22 function. The results of these calculations are shown in column (d). The
23 rate changes due to TCJA and the excess ADFIT impacts are calculated
24 by dividing the change in the Revenue Requirement (shown in column (b))
25 by the appropriate number of billing units (shown in column (c)). The
26 billing units are the same as those approved in the Order in Docket No.

1 Q. CAN YOU PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE OF THE RATE CHANGE
2 CALCULATIONS THAT APPEAR ON EXHIBIT JMS-4?
3 A. Yes. For this example, I will use the Distribution System Cost for the
4 Residential Rate Class to illustrate. Line No. 35, column (b) shows the
5 same Change in Revenue Requirement of ($46,536,696) for the
6 Residential Distribution System Charge that is shown in Line No. 34,
7 column (d) of Exhibit JMS-3. By dividing this amount by the annual kWh
8 sales for the residential rate class of 43,407,410,468, as shown in Line
9 No. 35, column (c)7 on page 1 of Exhibit JMS-4, the resulting change in
10 the Distribution System Charge for the Residential rate class is
11 ($0.001072), which represents a decrease of $0.001072/kWh. As shown
12 on page 1 of my Exhibit JMS-5 (discussed in more detail below), the
13 proposed monthly rate for the Residential Distribution System Charge is
14 reduced from the current value of $0.021141/kWh to $0.020069/kWh (see
15 Line No. 37, columns (b)-(d) of Exhibit JMS-5).
16 D. Summary of Proposed Rates for TCJA and Excess ADFIT Effects
17 Q. HAVE YOU PREPARED A SUMMARY OF ALL OF THE RATE
18 CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH TCJA AND EXCESS ADFIT EFFECTS
19 FOR EACH RETAIL AND WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION RATE CLASS?
20 A. Yes. My Exhibit JMS-5 shows these calculations for each rate class for
21 the Customer Charge, Meter Charge, and Distribution System Charge. In
22 addition, page 2 of Exhibit JMS-5 shows the calculations for the rate
23 changes associated with the Distribution System Charge for certain low-

4 IV. PROPOSED REVISIONS TO ONCOR'S NETWORK TRANSMISSION
5 RATES ASSOCIATED WITH EXCESS ADFIT EFFECTS
6 Q. HAVE YOU CALCULATED A REVISED WHOLESALE TRANSMISSION
7 RATE FOR THE EFFECTS OF THE TCJA RELATED TO EXCESS
8 ADFIT?
9 A. Yes. Page 1 of my Exhibit JMS-8 shows Oncor's TCOS revenue
10 requirement (Schedule A) from its recently approved Docket No. 47988
11 interim TCOS case, and page 2 shows Oncor's TCOS revenue
12 requirement (Schedule A) restated for the effects of the TCJA related to
13 excess ADFIT. Page 3 provides a comparison summarizing the
14 differences of these two schedules. I am proposing a reduction in Oncor's
15 TCOS revenue requirement from $881,411,373 to $866,436,040, which
16 represents a reduction of $14,975,333. 1 have prepared a proposed
17 revision to Oncor's Rate NTS — Network Transmission Service, showing a
18 reduction in the rate from $13,101.988139/MW (effective March 27, 2018
19 in Docket No. 47988) to $12,879.383079/MW. This proposed rate is
20 included in Exhibit JMS-7.
21 1 am requesting that the new baseline be approved by July 1, 2018
22 for use in the Company's next interim TCOS filing. Thus, Oncor is
23 requesting that: (i) this proposed NTS rate be approved effective July 1,
24 2018, (ii) that this rate reduction not be counted as one of Oncor's two
25 annual allowable interim TCOS rate updates, and (iii) that the updated
26 TCOS revenue requirement consistent with this reduction be incorporated
27 into the baseline data to be used in Oncor's next interim TCOS rate
28 update application. My Exhibit JMS-9 is the updated TCOS baseline
29 schedules that incorporate the previously described TCOS revenue
30 requirement reduction and the resulting TCOS rate reduction.

3 Q. HAVE YOU CALCULATED AND PROPOSED A REFUND RELATED TO
4 THE BILLING OF NTS RATES COVERING THE PERIOD OF JANUARY
5 1 THROUGH MARCH 26, 2018, BASED ON THE TCJA FIT RATE
6 CHANGE?
7 A. Yes, please see my Exhibit JMS-10. Oncor's recent interim TCOS rate
8 update in Docket No. 47988 resulted in a new Rate NTS with an effective
9 date of March 27, 2018. This rate incorporates the effect of the TCJA's
10 FIT rate reduction from 35% to 21 %. In order to provide Rate NTS
11 customers with the benefits of the tax rate reduction beginning January 1,
12 2018, 1 have calculated a credit of $12,219,430, which covers the period of
13 January 1, 2018 through March 26, 2018. Oncor is proposing Rider
14 WTRF-N — Wholesale Tax Refund Factor (NTS) to be effective July 1,
15 2018, with a refund period of one month. This proposed rider is included
16 in my Exhibit JMS-7.
17 VI. REFUNDS RELATED TO THE BILLING OF CURRENT RETAIL AND
18 WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION RATES IN 2018
19 Q. HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO TREAT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
20 THE REVENUE RECEIVED IN 2018 UNDER CURRENT RETAIL AND
21 WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTION RATES AND THE RATES ULTIMATELY
22 APPROVED IN THIS PROCEEDING DURING THE PERIOD FROM
23 JANUARY 1, 2018, THROUGH THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE NEW
24 RATES?
25 A. I propose to refund the differences in revenue for each retail and
26 wholesale distribution rate class through a compliance filing that Oncor
27 would submit within 30 days after the implementation of the revised rates
28 approved in this case. This would allow the Company to calculate the
29 exact amounts due to be refunded, thus streamlining the entire refund
30 process. It should be noted that the FIT rate change associated with the
Sherburne Direct
Oncor Electric Delivery
FIT -Related Rate Reduction
-14-
48
1 TCJA would be the only change reflected in the compliance filing; as
2 described by Ms. Clutter, there are no excess ADFIT effects associated
3 with the tax refund calculations. As described below, the tax refund
4 factors are proposed to be in effect for one month beginning November 1,
5 2018, in order to have all of the effects of the TCJA reflected on the
6 Company's books during 2018 business.
7 I propose two new tariffs to effect these refunds: a "Rider TRF —
8 Tax Refund Factor' to be included in the Company's Tariff for Retail
9 Delivery Service (to be applicable to all retail rate classes) and a "Rider
10 WTRF (XFMR & DLS)" to be included in the Company's Tariff for
11 Transmission Service (to be applicable to Rate XFMR — Wholesale
12 Substation Service and Rate DLS — Wholesale Distribution Line Service).
13 Q. HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO CALCULATE THE ACTUAL TAX REFUND
14 AMOUNTS FOR EACH RATE CLASS FOR THE PERIOD FROM
15 JANUARY 1, 2018, THROUGH THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE NEW
16 RATES TO BE APPROVED IN THIS PROCEEDING?
17 A. The calculation of the actual tax refund amounts utilizes a two-step
18 process. The first step is to calculate the changes in the Customer, Meter,
19 and Distribution System Charges for each retail delivery service and
20 wholesale distribution service rate class resulting from a 21 % FIT rate.
21 This calculation uses the same multi -step process described in Section III,
22 above; except that only the effects of the FIT rate reduction are
23 considered. The second step uses the rate changes determined in the
24 first step to calculate the actual tax refund amounts, by rate class, for the
25 refund period. The process used to calculate the rate changes is
26 summarized below and the results are presented in my Exhibits JMS-11
27 through JMS-13. The subsequent calculation of the actual tax refund
28 amounts are also described below.
29 Exhibit JMS-11 shows the functionalized Revenue Requirements
30 for the Return on Rate Base and the major expense categories (e.g.,
Sherburne Direct
Oncor Electric Delivery
FIT -Related Rate Reduction
-15-
49
1 Depreciation) for two separate scenarios — one designated "Final Order' 8
2 that is based on an FIT rate of 35%, and another designated "21 % From
3 Filed DCRF (DCRF—Baseline—COS.xlsx)" that applies the effects of the
4 TCJA. The values in the second scenario were determined by re -running
5 the Company's cost -of -service model used in Docket No. 46957 to
6 incorporate the changes in Rate Base and in the other expense categories
7 that result directly from the 21 % FIT rate. The detailed calculations from
8 the Company's cost -of -service model supporting the values in the second
9 scenario are shown in my Workpaper JMS/WP-5 and the comparison of
10 the results of the two scenarios are shown in Line Nos. 49-65 of Exhibit
11 JMS-11 under the heading "Difference between 21 % and Final Order ($)."
12 The total differences in revenue requirements, by function, are shown in
13 Line No. 71 of Exhibit JMS-11 and the results of the rate class allocation
14 process are shown in Exhibit JMS-12.
15 The final step in the process is shown on Page 1 of Exhibit JMS-13,
16 entitled "Calculation of Changes in Rates due to 21 % Tax Rate Change,"
17 with the resulting rate changes for each rate class and function shown in
18 column (d).
19 Q. HOW DO YOU PROPOSE TO CALCULATE THE ACTUAL TAX REFUND
20 AMOUNT BY RATE CLASS?
21 A. The actual tax refund amount per rate class will be determined by
22 multiplying the change in various charges as shown on column (d) of my
23 Exhibit JMS-13 by the actual billing units for the period of January 1, 2018
24 through August 31, 2018. The amount for the Customer Charge, Meter
25 Charge, and Distribution System Charge will be summed for each rate
26 class. This sum will be the amount by rate class to be refunded through
27 Riders TRF and WTRF. The Riders will include factors that divide the

5 A. Yes, the forecast Distribution System Charge billing units by rate class for

7 Q. HAVE YOU INCLUDED A PROPOSED RIDER TRF AND RIDER WTRF
8 IN THIS PROCEEDING?
9 A. Yes, I have included the form of the Riders that are proposed to be used
10 once the actual tax refund amounts have been calculated (my Exhibit
11 JMS-15). The actual tax refund amounts by rate class will be divided by
12 the projected billing units for the refund period (November 2018) to
13 calculate the refund factors. The refund factors are proposed to be in
14 effect for one month beginning November 1, 2018, and I propose that
15 Oncor book amounts over- or under -refunded as a regulatory asset (or
16 liability) to be included in the Company's next base -rate case.
17 Q. HOW DO YOU PROPOSE THAT RIDER TRF AND RIDER WTRF BE
18 REVIEWED BY THE COMMISSION?
19 A. I propose that Oncor make a compliance filing within 30 days of the
20 implementation of the Retail and Wholesale Distribution rates in this
21 proceeding. In the compliance filing, Oncor will determine the actual
22 billing units by rate class for the period of January 1, 2018 through August
23 31, 2018, as described above. A calculation of the Actual Tax Refund
24 amounts by rate class will be determined, and the Actual Tax Refund
25 amounts by rate class will be divided by the projected November 2018
26 Distribution System Charge billing units by rate class, as described above
27 to determine the Rider TRF and Rider WTRF factors. Those factors will
28 be inserted into the form of Rider TRF and WTRF (proposed in my Exhibit
29 JMS-15). Oncor requests that the Commission approve the form of Rider
30 TRF and WTRF in this proceeding, and through its subsequent

8
TCJA'S 21 % TAX RATE?
9
A.
Yes. I have used the lower FIT rate to recalculate the approved amount in
10
Docket No. 46884 for a recalculated approved amount ("RAA") of
11
$25,868,042.10 There are no excess ADFIT effects associated with the
12
remand surcharge.
13
However, considering that the refund of the original surcharge
14
amount of $26,747,458 is estimated to be collected by August 31, 2018
15
(which is before the projected date of an order in this proceeding), it is
16
likely that an over -recovery of the RAA will occur unless the RAA is
17
implemented in advance. Therefore, Oncor will cease billing Rider RS
18
once it has billed the RAA of $25,868,042 to avoid the need for a
19
subsequent refund of over -collected amounts. The revised Rider RS —

1 effects associated with the remand surcharge. Because the original

5 billed the RAA of $6,366. The revised Rider WRS — Remand Surcharge is
6 included in my Exhibit JMS-7.
7 Vill. CONCLUSION
8 Q. PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR DIRECT TESTIMONY.
9 A. I have performed a number of calculations to reduce the Company's rates
10 due to the reduced FIT rate under the TCJA. First, I calculated a total
11 reduction in the Company's Revenue Requirement for Retail Delivery
12 Service and Wholesale Distribution Service related to the reduced FIT rate
13 and the excess ADFIT effects of $90,531,502. Second, I calculated an
14 allocation of this amount to the Company's various retail and wholesale
15 distribution rate classes. Third, I calculated a new baseline revenue
16 requirement for the Company's TCOS ($14,975,333 reduction), resulting
17 in a new Rate NTS of $12,879.383079 (reduced from $13,101.988139). 1
18 am requesting that the new baseline be approved by July 1, 2018 for use
19 in the Company's next Interim TCOS filing. Fourth, I calculated a credit of
20 $12,219,430 owed to TDUs related to the lower FIT rate for the period
21 from January 1 — March 26, 2018. Fifth, I have used the lower FIT rate to
22 recalculate the approved amount of the Remand Surcharges from Docket
23 No. 46884 as shown in Rider RS — Remand Surcharge and Rider WRS —
24 Wholesale Remand Surcharge resulting in a reduction in the surcharge of
25 $874,412. Sixth, I have prepared revisions to all of the rate schedules in
26 the Company's Tariff for Retail Delivery Service and the Transmission
27 Service Tariff that are affected by the changes I am proposing. Finally, 1
28 have proposed a calculation methodology and proposed forms of Tariffs
29 (Rider TRF and Rider WTRF) for the refund of the amounts collected
30 through current rates from January 1, 2018 through August 31, 2018 that

WHAT RELIEF IS ONCOR REQUESTING IN THIS PROCEEDING?
Oncor is requesting that the Commission approve (i) the proposed
changes to the Company's tariffs as filed effective September 1, 2018, (ii)
the proposed NTS rate effective July 1, 2018, and (iii) the form of Rider
TRF and Rider WTRF included in my Exhibit JMS-15, and that the
Commission authorize Oncor to seek approval —through a subsequent
compliance filing —of the final Rider TRF and Rider WTRF with effective
dates of November 1, 2018.
DOES THIS CONCLUDE YOUR DIRECT TESTIMONY?
Yes, it does.

COMPANY SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND FOR TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CHARGES
DETERMINATION OF 4CP kW
The 4CP kW applicable under the Monthly Rate section shall be the average of the Retail
Customer's integrated 15 minute demands at the time of the monthly ERCOT system 15-minute
peak demand for the months of June, July, August and September of the previous calendar year.
Retail Customers without previous history on which to determine their 4CP kW will be billed based on
estimated 4CP kW, in accordance with the following procedures:
(a) Retail Customers having IDR data for fewer than 4CP kW, but at least two CP kW, will be
billed based on the average of the actual CP kW, so long as the CP kW are representative of
the Retail Customer's expected load, as derived from engineering estimates. If the CP kW
are not representative of the expected load, the estimated 4CP kW will be set based on
mutual agreement between the Retail Customer and the Company.
(b) Retail Customers that do not have at least two CP kW will be billed by estimating the Retail
Customer's 4CP kW demand by applying a class coincidence factor to the Retail Customer's
NCP kW, using the formula:
Estimated 4CP kW = (NCP kW * TCCF) where:
NCP kW is the highest 15-minute integrated demand of an individual Retail Customer served
at transmission voltage during the month; and
TCCF is the transmission class coincidence factor for the months June, July, August, and
September calculated from the Company's most recent UCOS proceeding using the
following formula:
TCCF = E Class CP kW for June. July, August, September
E Class NCP kW for June, July, August, September
Where:
Class CP kW is the transmission voltage rate class' 15-minute demand at the time of the
ERCOT CP and Class NCP kW is the transmission voltage class' maximum 15-minute
demand during a month.
DETERMINATION OF BILLING DEMAND FOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CHARGES
DETERMINATION OF BILLING kW
The Billing kW applicable to the Distribution System Charge shall be the higher of the NCP kW for
the current billing month or 80% of the highest monthly NCP kW established in the 11 months
preceding the current billing month (80% ratchet).
The 80% ratchet shall not apply to Retail Seasonal Agricultural Customers.

Yes. I am licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in the State of Texas.
23
Q.
ARE YOU A MEMBER OF ANY PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS?
24
A.
Yes. I am a member of the Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants.
25
Q.
WHAT ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN YOUR CURRENT
26
POSITION?
27
A.
I have responsibility for recording all of Oncor's federal, state, and
28
property tax -related accounting entries. I am responsible for the tax-
29
related information provided quarterly and annually to investors. I also

1 support and review the preparation of Oncor's federal income tax ("FIT")
2 return.
3 Q. HAVE YOU PREVIOUSLY TESTIFIED BEFORE ANY REGULATORY
4 COMMISSIONS?
5 A. Yes, I have pre -filed testimony in Public Utility Commission of Texas
6 ("Commission") Docket Nos. 38929, 39552, 41814, 46957, and 48231.
7 II. PURPOSE OF DIRECT TESTIMONY
8 Q. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR DIRECT TESTIMONY?
9 A. The purpose of my direct testimony is to support the amount of the
10 reduction to the Company's revenue requirement due to the change in the
11 corporate FIT rate from 35% to 21 % pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs
12 Act of 2017 ("TCJA"). Additionally, my testimony supports the amount of
13 excess accumulated deferred federal income taxes ("ADFIT") that have
14 been recorded as a regulatory liability because of the decrease in the FIT
15 rate and the annual amount that should be returned to customers through
16 reduced FIT expense.
17 My direct testimony, exhibits, and workpapers were prepared by me
18 or under my direction, supervision, or control, and are true and correct.
19 III. IMPACT OF THE FIT RATE CHANGE ON ONCOR'S REVENUE
20 REQUIREMENT
21 Q. PLEASE DESCRIBE THE TCJA AS IT RELATES TO THIS FILING.
22 A. The TCJA was signed into law by President Trump on December 22,
23 2017, and it amended the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("IRC"). Among
24 other things, the TCJA lowered the corporate FIT rate from 35% to 21 %.
25 Thus, consistent with the Commission's final order in Oncor's most recent
26 base -rate case (Docket No. 46957) and as required by the notice of
27 approval in Oncor's most recent interim transmission cost of service
28 ("TCOS") update (Docket No. 47988), Oncor is requesting adjustment of
29 the amount of FIT provided for in its rates.
30 Q. WHEN WAS ONCOR'S LAST COMPREHENSIVE BASE -RATE CASE?
Clutter Direct
Oncor Electric Delivery
FIT -Related Rate Reduction
-3-
1173
1 A. The Company's last comprehensive base -rate case, Docket No. 46957,
2 was filed on March 17, 2017, and was based on a 2016 calendar test
3 year. The Commission issued its final order in that case on October 13,
4 2017, and new rates went into effect on November 27, 2017.
5 Q. WHAT TAX RATE WAS USED TO CALCULATE THE FIT EXPENSE
6 INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S APPROVED REVENUE
7 REQUIREMENT IN DOCKET NO. 46957?
8 A. The FIT expense included in the Company's Docket No. 46957 revenue
9 requirement was based on the 35% corporate tax rate that was in effect
10 for 2016.
11 Q. DID THE FINAL ORDER ADDRESS A POTENTIAL CORPORATE TAX
12 RATE CHANGE?
13 A. Yes. Finding of Fact No. 27 and Ordering Paragraph No. 3 of the Docket
14 No. 46957 final Order requires the Company to establish a regulatory
15 liability for the excess FIT amounts collected through the approved
16 revenue requirement that is above the new corporate FIT rate. It also
17 required the Company to return to ratepayers any excess ADFIT created
18 by the tax rate change.
19 Q. WHAT IS THE AMOUNT OF THE ADJUSTMENT TO FIT EXPENSE
20 BASED ON THE TAX RATE REDUCTION TO 21 %?
21 A. As shown on page 1, column (d), line 4 of my Exhibit BLC-1, the reduction
22 to FIT expense based on the change in the corporate FIT tax rate from
23 35% to 21 % is $124,878,061.
24 Q. HOW DID YOU CALCULATE THE $124,878,061 AMOUNT OF FIT
25 EXPENSE REDUCTION?
26 A. As shown on my Exhibit BLC-2, I have utilized the Tax Method 1
27 calculation from the settlement agreement in Docket No. 46957. Column
28 (b), labeled "Docket 46957 Settlement," is identical to the FIT calculation
29 approved by the Commission in that case. The amounts in column (c)
30 restate the settlement amounts from column (b) to what they would have

1 been had the 21 % tax rate been known and used to calculate FIT
2 expense. All tax -related components have been held constant with the
3 exception of the tax factor on lines 19 and 20 that reflects a change from
4 the tax factor of 53.84615% (.35/(1-35)) utilized in Docket No. 46957 to
5 the revised tax factor of 26.58228% corresponding to the new 21 %
6 corporate FIT rate. The revised tax factor is determined by dividing the
7 tax rate of 21 % by one minus the tax rate (.21/(1-21)). Tax factors are
8 necessary in order to reflect FIT expense used for purposes of
9 determining after-tax equity returns for ratemaking purposes. As an
10 example, it requires $1.2658 ($1 plus (1 X 26.58228%)) of pre-tax return
11 on equity to produce $1.00 of after-tax return on equity. The change in
12 FIT expense included in the Company's revenue requirement as a result
13 of the new 21 % tax rate is shown in column (d).
14 Q. ARE THERE ANY OTHER ATTENDANT IMPACTS TO THE
15 COMPANY'S REVENUE REQUIREMENT BASED ON THE CHANGED
16 FIT EXPENSE?
17 A. Yes. Please refer to my Exhibit BLC-1. Column (d) of this exhibit shows
18 the additional reductions to Operating & Maintenance ("O&M") Expense,
19 Taxes Other Than Federal Income Taxes ("Other Taxes"), and Return on
20 Rate Base.
21 Q. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REDUCTION TO O&M EXPENSE.
22 Q. Approximately 36% of Oncor's revenue requirement for wholesale
23 transmission service is billed to and recovered internally from its retail
24 distribution service provider ("DSP") role. Oncor in its wholesale
25 transmission service provider ("TSP") role records revenue for the portion
26 of its revenue requirement billed to the DSP function. In its DSP role,
27 Oncor records these billings for network transmission services as an intra-
28 company 0&M expense. In order for Oncor, as a DSP, to recover the cost
29 of Oncor's TSP network transmission services, it includes these costs as
30 part of the transmission cost recovery factor ("TCRF") that is billed to and

1 collected from retail customers. As a result, approximately 36% of the FIT
2 expense reduction to Oncor's TSP revenues is passed on to Oncor's retail
3 customers through Oncor's TCRF, and the remaining 64% of the FIT
4 expense reduction to Oncor's TSP revenues is passed on to third -party
5 DSPs receiving network transmission services.
6 Q. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REDUCTION TO OTHER TAXES.
7 A. The reduction to Other Taxes is due to a decrease in the Texas Gross
8 Margin Tax ("margin tax"). The margin tax is calculated by applying the
9 .75% margin tax rate to taxable revenue, less a 30% standard deduction.
10 Because the revenue requirement is lowered for the reduction in FIT
11 expense, there is a corresponding reduction in the margin tax.
12 Q. PLEASE EXPLAIN THE REDUCTION TO THE RETURN ON RATE
13 BASE.
14 A. The reduction to the Return on Rate Base is due to a decrease in Cash
15 Working Capital attributable to the reduced margin tax and FIT expense.
16 Q. WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF THE TAX RATE REDUCTION ON ONCOR'S
17 ANNUAL REVENUE REQUIREMENT?
18 A. As shown on page 1, line 16, column (d) of my Exhibit BLC-1, Oncor's
19 annual revenue requirement is decreased by the amount of $143,789,503
20 based on reducing the tax rate from 35% to 21 %. This decrease includes
21 a reduction to FIT expense and the attendant impacts of the tax rate
22 reduction that I previously discussed. I have provided this amount to
23 Company witness J. Michael Sherburne for inclusion in his allocation of
24 the functionalized revenue requirement to the individual rate classes.
25 Q. WHAT ADJUSTMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE REVENUE
26 REQUIREMENT FOR THE INCREASE IN INCOME TAXES RESULTING
27 FROM ONCOR'S INTERIM TCOS UPDATE APPROVED IN DOCKET
28 NO. 47988?
29 A. FIT expense was increased based on the increase in the return on rate
30 base resulting from the addition of transmission facilities after the 2016

2 This incremental income tax expense was quantified in the Company's
3 amended Docket No. 47988 filing using the new 21 % FIT rate pursuant to
4 the TCJA. The FIT expense included in the baseline was also adjusted to
5 reflect a 21 % FIT rate.

7 REQUIREMENT FOR THE INCREASE IN INCOME TAXES RESULTING
8 FROM ONCOR'S DISTRIBUTION COST RECOVERY FACTOR ("DCRF")
9 FILING PENDING IN DOCKET NO. 48231?
10 A. FIT expense was increased based on the increase in the return on rate
11 base resulting from the addition of distribution facilities after the 2016
12 calendar test year used in Docket No. 46957, Oncor's last base -rate case.
13 The incremental income tax expense was quantified in the Company's
14 DCRF filing using the new 21 % FIT rate pursuant to the TCJA.
15 Q. PURSUANT TO THE FINAL ORDER IN DOCKET NO. 46957, HAS THE
16 COMPANY ESTABLISHED A REGULATORY LIABILITY FOR THE
17 EXCESS FIT COLLECTED IN RATES AT THE 35% FIT RATE?
18 A. Yes. A regulatory liability has been established to capture the excess
19 amounts collected at rates calculated using the 35% FIT rate. As of
20 March 31, 2018, the amount of the regulatory liability is $30,355,587. The
21 Company will continue to capture the excess amount collected until the
22 effective date of new rates approved in this proceeding. Mr. Sherburne's
23 direct testimony addresses the timing and methodology for refunding the
24 excess amount collected.
25 IV. IMPACT OF EXCESS ADFIT RESULTING FROM THE TAX RATE
26 CHANGE ON ONCOR'S REVENUE REQUIREMENT
27 Q. PLEASE EXPLAIN EXCESS ADFIT.
28 A. ADFIT represent the amount of taxes that the Company will pay in future
29 years due to a timing difference between the book treatment of an asset
30 for accounting and ratemaking purposes and the tax treatment based on
Clutter Direct
Oncor Electric Delivery
FIT -Related Rate Reduction
-7-
1177
1 the IRC. When there is a reduction in the corporate tax rate, the ADFIT is
2 reduced because the Company will pay less tax in the future as a result of
3 the lower tax rate. This creates "excess" ADFIT. Because the excess
4 ADFIT is no longer a FIT liability to the federal government, it should be
5 returned to customers. As such, the balance in excess ADFIT is
6 amortized as a reduction to income tax expense as the related ADFIT
7 reverses over the lives of the related assets. Certain excess ADFIT is
8 statutorily protected by the normalization provisions of § 13001(d) of the
9 TCJA and is often referred to as "protected." Other excess ADFIT not
10 statutorily protected by the normalization provisions of the TCJA is
11 referred to as "non -protected."
12 Q. PLEASE EXPLAIN PROTECTED EXCESS ADFIT.
13 A. The balance in protected excess ADFIT represents the excess amount of
14 ADFIT attributable to timing differences from the use of accelerated
15 depreciation methods and shorter lives for income tax purposes as
16 compared to the use of straight-line depreciation over longer asset lives
17 for book depreciation and ratemaking purposes. The ratemaking
18 treatment for this excess ADFIT is "protected" under the normalization
19 provisions of the TCJA whereby the reversal or "give -back" of the benefit
20 of these amounts can be accomplished no faster than over the lives of the
21 properties to which they relate.
22 Q. PLEASE EXPLAIN NON -PROTECTED EXCESS ADFIT.
23 A. The balance in non -protected excess ADFIT represents the excess
24 amount of ADFIT attributable to certain timing differences that originated
25 when the corporate tax rate was higher than the current tax rate of 21%
26 that are not protected under normalization provisions of the TCJA. These
27 temporary timing differences primarily arise from the treatments of
28 regulatory assets, employee retirement costs, and certain other financial
29 events whereby the costs are expensed for income tax purposes but are

capitalized and amortized or included in the cost of depreciable assets for
2
book and ratemaking purposes.
3
Q.
DID ONCOR HAVE ANY EXCESS ADFIT ON ITS BOOKS BEFORE THE
4
ENACTMENT OF THE TCJA?
5
A.
Yes, in Docket No. 46957 Oncor included $2,252,074 of plant -related
6
excess ADFIT as a reduction to rate base. It also included $857,865 of
7
excess ADFIT amortization as a reduction to FIT expense.
8
Q.
WHAT IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF EXCESS ADFIT THAT THE
9
COMPANY RECORDED AS A RESULT OF THE TCJA?
10
A.
In December 2017, the Company recorded a regulatory liability in the
11
amount of $1,258,366,275 for excess ADFIT related to deferred tax
12
liabilities on plant -related temporary differences. A regulatory asset of
13
$159,754,360 and a regulatory liability of $156,742,305 were also
14
recorded for excess ADFIT related to deferred tax assets and liabilities on
15
other temporary differences such as employee retirement costs and
16
regulatory assets.
17
Q.
HOW DOES THE COMPANY PROPOSE TO RETURN THE PLANT-
18
RELATED EXCESS ADFIT RESULTING FROM THE TCJA TO
19
CUSTOMERS?
20
A.
The plant -related excess ADFIT will be amortized over the remaining life
21
of the plant to which the deferred tax relates according to the Average
22
Rate Assumption Method ("ARAM"). As a regulated utility, Oncor is
23
subject to the normalization rules found in IRC Sections 168(f) and
24
168(i)(9). The TCJA expands on the requirements of the normalization
25
rules and requires that certain ADFIT resulting from accelerated
26
depreciation established at rates higher than 21 % be reversed no faster
27
than the ARAM. The ARAM reverses the ADFIT as the related temporary
28
difference reverses (i.e., when book depreciation exceeds tax
29
depreciation). A reversal of protected excess ADFIT faster than ARAM
30
would result in a normalization violation, which would preclude the

Company from claiming accelerated tax depreciation on its tax return.
2
The Company is proposing to amortize all plant -related excess ADFIT

over the remaining life of the property that generated the original ADFIT

5
Q.
WHAT IS THE ANNUAL AMOUNT OF PLANT -RELATED EXCESS
6
ADFIT AMORTIZATION BASED ON THE ARAM?
7
A.
The annual amount of plant -related excess ADFIT amortization based on
8
the ARAM is $32,230,785.
9
Q.
HOW WAS THIS AMOUNT OF PLANT -RELATED EXCESS ADFIT
10
AMORTIZATION DETERMINED?
11
A.
Oncor uses the tax fixed asset solution, PowerTax, to track its tax
12
depreciation and plant -related ADFIT. PowerTax is specifically designed
13
for the utility industries and other asset -intensive companies. It uses a
14
data gathering and preparation system, collecting and processing book
15
amounts and tax adjustments using built-in routines. PowerTax maintains
16
the detailed vintage records of deferred income taxes related to utility
17
plant and tracks the provision and reversal of deferred income taxes.
18
Deferred taxes are maintained in PowerTax for deferral accounting and
19
FAS 109 liability accounting. PowerTax tracks the reversals of timing
20
differences normalized at rates different than the current corporate income
21
tax rate and calculates the excess ADFIT reversal using the ARAM.
22
In order to calculate an annual amount of plant -related excess
23
ADFIT using PowerTax, I first calculated the amount of book depreciation
24
that is included in the Company's current rates or is expected to be
25
included in rates during the current year applicable to plant in service at
26
December 31, 2017. The amount of book depreciation for the Distribution
27 and Transmission functions is shown in my Exhibit BLC-4. This amount of
28 book depreciation and an amount of tax depreciation applicable to plant in
29 service at December 31, 2017 was entered into PowerTax for the 2018 tax
30 year in order to calculate an amount of excess ADFIT reversal. I discuss
Clutter Direct
Oncor Electric Delivery
FIT -Related Rate Reduction
-10-
1180
1 how I have determined the amount of book depreciation included in the
2 Company's current rates in Section V of my direct testimony.
3 Q. HOW DOES THE COMPANY PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THE NON-
4 PLANT -RELATED EXCESS ADFIT?
5 A. The non -plant -related ADFIT are not subject to the normalization
6 provisions of the IRC and, therefore, are not subject to the ARAM. They
7 have, however, been normalized in accordance with 16 Tex. Admin. Code
8 § 25.231(b)(1)(D) (TAC). Therefore, the Company is proposing to
9 amortize the non -plant excess ADFIT over the same life as the reversal of
10 the underlying temporary differences. Please refer to my Exhibit BLC-3
11 for the amortization schedule of the non -plant -related excess ADFIT. As
12 shown on page 1, column (d), line 37 of this exhibit, the first year of
13 amortization results in a net increase to the Company's cost of service of
14 $5,973,657 based on the reversal of the related underlying temporary
15 differences.
16 Q. WILL ONCOR PRESERVE THE EXCESS ADFIT IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR
17 REVIEW IN A FUTURE BASE -RATE PROCEEDING?
18 A. Yes. Oncor proposes to track both the plant -related and non -plant -related
19 excess ADFIT amortization and preserve any over or under -collection in a
20 regulatory liability or regulatory asset, respectively.
21 Q. ARE THERE ANY OTHER ATTENDANT IMPACTS TO THE
22 COMPANY'S REVENUE REQUIREMENT BASED ON THE CHANGED
23 FIT EXPENSE FOR THE EXCESS ADFIT AMORTIZATION?
24 A. Yes. As I discussed earlier in my testimony, a reduction to FIT expense
25 results in additional reductions to O&M Expense, Other Taxes and Return
26 on Rate Base. Please refer to column (f) on page 1 of my Exhibit BLC-1
27 for the additional reductions to cost of service that result in a $37,660,602
28 reduction to Oncor's revenue requirement.

1 Q. HAS THE REDUCTION IN REVENUE REQUIREMENT BEEN
2 FUNCTIONALIZED BETWEEN WHOLESALE TRANSMISSION AND
3 RETAIL TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION ("T&D")?
4 A. Yes. Please refer to pages 2 and 3 of my Exhibit BLC-1 for the
5 Company's change in revenue requirement that is attributable to the
6 Wholesale Transmission and the Retail T&D functions, respectively. The
7 change in revenue requirement has been functionalized in accordance
8 with General Instruction No. 11 of the Commission's Investor -Owned
9 Utility Transmission & Distribution Cost of Service Rate Filing Package
10 instructions.
11 Q. WILL ONCOR INCLUDE THE NET EXCESS ADFIT REGULATORY
12 LIABILITY AS A REDUCTION TO RATE BASE IN FUTURE DCRF
13 APPLICATIONS?
14 A. Yes. Consistent with past regulatory treatment, the excess ADFIT will be
15 included as a reduction to rate base. Like ADFIT, excess ADFIT
16 represents cost-free capital and, therefore, should be deducted from rate
17 base to provide customers the benefit of such cost-free capital. In order to
18 remain consistent with the treatment of ADFIT, Oncor proposes to include
19 the updated balance of excess ADFIT related to distribution plant (which is
20 recorded as a regulatory liability) in its future DCRF applications.
21 V. DETERMINATION OF THE AMOUNT OF BOOK DEPRECIATION
22 EXPENSE INCLUDED IN ONCOR'S RATES
23 A. Distribution
24 Q. PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW YOU HAVE DETERMINED THE AMOUNT OF
25 DISTRIBUTION -RELATED BOOK DEPRECIATION EXPENSE
26 INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S RATES.
27 A. The Company's depreciation rates for each utility plant account were
28 approved in Oncor's most recent comprehensive base -rate proceeding,
29 Docket No. 46957, based on a 2016 calendar test year. Pursuant to the
30 DCRF rule, 16 TAC § 25.243, Oncor's distribution rates can be adjusted
Clutter Direct
Oncor Electric Delivery
FIT -Related Rate Reduction
-12
1182
1 through the approval of a DCRF. This rule provides for an adjustment to
2 rates for changes in certain distribution costs, which includes recovery of
3 incremental depreciation expense associated with new distribution plant
4 investment. Based on Oncor's pending DCRF filing in Docket No. 48231,
5 1 have applied the distribution depreciation rates established in Docket No.
6 46957 to the corresponding December 31, 2017 gross distribution plant
7 account balances in order to calculate the amount of calendar year 2018
8 distribution -related book depreciation expense included in rates. As
9 shown on my Exhibit BLC-4, the amount of distribution -related
10 depreciation expense is $389,560,827. This calculation reflects additional
11 investment made by the Company in its distribution system during 2017,
12 as incorporated in the DCRF filing.
13 Q. DOES ONCOR'S DCRF FILING INCLUDE ANY ADDITIONAL
14 ADJUSTMENTS FOR DISTRIBUTION -RELATED INVESTMENTS IN
15 INTANGIBLE OR GENERAL PLANT DURING 2017?
16 A. Yes. The Commission's DCRF rule defines distribution invested capital to
17 include intangible plant, communication equipment and networks, and
18 computer hardware used directly in the provision of electric service. The
19 Company's DCRF filing includes an increase in depreciation and
20 amortization expense for invested capital additions involving Federal
21 Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") Accounts 303, 391, and 397. 1
22 applied the appropriate depreciation and amortization rates from Docket
23 No. 46957 to the December 31, 2017 distribution -related portions of these
24 intangible and general plant account balances. As shown on Exhibit
25 BLC-4, $34,926,327 and $20,559,016 corresponds to the updated
26 amounts of intangible and general plant depreciation expense,
27 respectively, included for recovery in Oncor's rates.
28 Q. WHAT IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF DISTRIBUTION -RELATED

2 48231?
3 A. The amount of distribution —related depreciation and amortization expense,
4 including distribution -related general and intangible plant investment, is
5 $389,560,827, as reflected in the Company's DCRF filing in Docket No.
6 48231 and shown on my Exhibit BLC-4. Once approved, this amount
7 corresponds to the amount of revenues provided for in rates to recover the
8 depreciation of distribution facilities.
9 Q. IF AN ADJUSTMENT OR MODIFICATION IS MADE TO PLANT-
10 RELATED AMOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE
11 COMPANY'S DOCKET NO. 48231 DCRF FILING, WOULD THERE BE
12 AN IMPACT TO THE AMOUNTS REFLECTED IN THIS FILING?
13 A. Yes. The plant and plant -related depreciation amounts must be consistent
14 in these cases.
15 B. Transmission
16 Q. PLEASE DISCUSS HOW YOU HAVE DETERMINED THE AMOUNT OF
17 TRANSMISSION -RELATED DEPRECIATION EXPENSE INCLUDED IN
18 THE COMPANY'S RATES.
19 A. The Company's TCOS reflects depreciation rates for each transmission
20 utility plant account approved in Docket No. 46957 based on a 2016
21 calendar test year. I applied these approved transmission plant account
22 depreciation rates to the corresponding December 31, 2017 transmission
23 gross plant account balances in order to calculate the calendar year 2018
24 transmission book depreciation expense included in rates. This calculation
25 reflects the additional investment in the Company's transmission system
26 of approximately $592 million that was included in Oncor's Docket No.
27 47988 interim TCOS update for the period January 1, 2017 through
28 December 31, 2017. My Exhibit BLC-4 reflects the current amount of
29 transmission depreciation expense included in rates as approved in the
30 interim TCOS Docket No. 47988 in the amount of $223,800,425.

g Q. PLEASE DISCUSS HOW YOU HAVE DETERMINED THE AMOUNT OF
10 GENERAL AND INTANGIBLE PLANT -RELATED DEPRECIATION AND
11 AMORTIZATION EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S RATES.
12 A. With the exception of the additional amounts included in the Company's
13 DCRF filing in Docket No. 48231 that I have previously discussed, the
14 amount of intangible and general plant depreciation expense included in
15 current rates is at the same level as was approved in the Company's last
16 base -rate proceeding, Docket No. 46957. My Exhibit BLC-4 lists the
17 depreciation expense amounts collected in rates for each of the FERC
18 Accounts that are included in TCOS or DCRF in the amount of
19 $20,083,932.
20 Q. PLEASE SUMMARIZE HOW YOU DETERMINED THE AMOUNT OF
21 BOOK DEPRECIATION EXPENSE INCLUDED IN THE COMPANY'S
22 RATES.
23 A. In order to determine the amount of book depreciation expense included in
24 the Company's rates, I first obtained the amount of depreciation expense
25 that was approved in the Company's most recent base -rate proceeding,
26 Docket No. 46957. 1 then updated these amounts in order to reflect
27 increases in depreciation expense due to additions made in 2017 to
28 transmission, distribution, and certain general and intangible plant
29 accounts as reflected in the Company's DCRF filing pending in Docket No.
30 48231 and the interim TCOS update approved in Docket No. 47988. The

5 an impact to the amounts reflected in this filing.
6 VI. CONCLUSION
7 Q. PLEASE SUMMARIZE YOUR DIRECT TESTIMONY.
8 A. As a result of the TCJA's reduction in the corporate tax rate from 35% to
9 21 % and consistent with the Commission's final order in Docket No.
10 46957 and the requirement of the notice of approval in Docket No. 47988,
11 the amount of FIT included in Oncor's base rates is being adjusted in
12 order to reflect the TCJA FIT rate reduction. The excess ADFIT is also
13 being returned to customers by adjusting FIT expense. The overall impact
14 of applying the effect of the TCJA FIT rate reduction to Oncor's annual
15 revenue requirement results in an annual decrease of $181,450,105, as
16 shown on Exhibit BLC-1, page 1.
17 Q. DOES THIS CONCLUDE YOUR DIRECT TESTIMONY?
18 A. Yes.

PUC DOCKET NO.46957
APPLICATION OF ONCOR ELECTRIC § BEFORE THE
DELIVERY COMPANY LLC FOR § PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION
AUTHORITY TO CHANGE RATES § OF TEXAS
ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY LLC'S PETITION FOR REVIEW
OF CITIES' ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS AND MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE
TO THE HONORABLE CASEY A. BELL, ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE:
NOW COMES Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC ("Oncor"), Petitioner,
appealing rate decisions adopted by the Cities/Towns of Copperas Cove, Garland,
Grand Prairie, Hillsboro, Killeen, Lufkin, Parker, Rowlett, Sachse, Southlake, The
Colony, Tyler, University Park, and Waco ("Cities"). These appeals are filed pursuant to
Section 33.051 of the Public Utility Regulatory Act ("PURA"), Tex. Util. Code Title 2. In
support of these appeals and motions, Oncor would show the following:
I. ONCOR'S REQUESTED RATE INCREASE
On March 17, 2017, Oncor filed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas
("Commission") a petition and statement of intent to increase its electric utility rates to
be charged within the areas over which the Commission has original jurisdiction. That
petition and statement of intent were assigned Commission Docket No. 46957. On or
about March 17, 2017, Oncor filed a similar petition and statement of intent with each
incorporated city having original jurisdiction over Oncor's distribution rates within the
city.
II. ACTION BY THE CITIES OF
In the ordinances/resolutions identified in the table below, the following Cities
adopted ordinances/resolutions that denied Oncor's requested change and kept Oncor's
existing distribution rates in effect:

Copies of the ordinances/resolutions are attached.
III. JURISDICTION
The Commission has jurisdiction over these appeals pursuant to Sections
32.001(b), 33.051, and 33.053 of PURA.
IV. MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE
Oncor requests that its appeals of the ordinances/resolutions of Cities be
consolidated with Docket No. 46957. These appeals involve issues of law and fact
common to those involved in Docket No. 46957, and separate hearings of these
appeals and Docket No. 46957 would result in unwarranted expense, delay, or
substantial injustice. In the alternative, if this Motion to Consolidate is denied, Oncor
requests that these appeals be assigned a new docket number by the Commission.
V. CONCLUSION
Oncor respectfully requests that Your Honor enter an order consolidating these
appeals of the ordinances/resolutions adopted by Cities with Docket No. 46957. Oncor
further respectfully requests that upon final hearing, Oncor be granted the rate relief as
-2-
requested in its petition and statement of intent. Oncor further requests all other and
further relief to which it may be entitled.
Respectfully submitted,
Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC
