GEORGIA PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
The Public Service Commission is organized to regulate intrastate transportation and the publicly-owned gas, electric and communications utilities. It also regulates certain interstate activities in cooperation with appropriate Federal agencies. The Commissions functions are investigatory and quasi-judicial, and they include issuance of certificates of public convenience and necessity, review and audit of schedules and rates, safety inspections, invoice and records inspection, and the handling of consumer complaints. The Commission had 117 budgeted positions as of July 1, 1980.
During the year the Commission conducted 479 public hearings. Public hearings commence on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month and continue on successive days thereafter until all current applications and petitions have been disposed of. All matters docketed for public hearing are heard by the entire Commission in open session, a majority of the Commission constituting a quorum.

TRUCK RATES AND SERVICES
By application filed in December, 1979, Georgia Movers Association, Inc. on behalf of carriers participating in its Georgia Intrastate Tariff No. 10, proposed to increase rates and charges for their services, the most significant being an average of 7.0% in rates for weight and distance moves. The increases were suspended and public hearing was held on February 28, 1980 at which time applicants presented evidence to support their request. No shippers appeared nor were there any written protests in opposition to the proposed rates even though notice of the matter was distributed over the State. By order dated March 4, 1980, the Commission found that applicants had demonstrated a need for the proposed rates and allowed the increase to become effective on March 20, 1980.
An application was filed by Transport Luggage Corporation to revise rates on delivery of astray baggage belonging to airline passengers. The overall impact of this proposal would result in about a 30% increase in rates. Due to the amount of increase proposed, the Commission suspended this publication and assigned the matter for hearing on July 10, 1980. At the hearing, applicant carrier presented evidence, testimony and exhibits in support of its application. However, another carrier appeared and testified in opposition to the proposed rates. By order dated September 3, 1980, the Commission decided that the evidence did not show the 30% increase to be justified, and, therefore, denied the application.
Morgan Drive Away, Inc. proposed to place into effect increased rates of 12% on house trailers, mobile homes, buildings and related commodities. The pending publication was suspended and the matter was set down for hearing on July 10, 1980. At the hearing, applicant presented evidence and exhibits to justify the proposal. Several other mobile home carriers appeared in protest to the increase in rates. After careful consideration of the testimony in this proceeding, the Commission voted to deny the 12% increase, but, in lieu thereof, allowed an 8% increase to go into effect on one--day*s notice.
Application was filed by National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. to increase the classification ratings on furnaces, house heating, hot air and related commodities as published in Items 26280-A and 26300-A of Supplement 19 to NMFC 100-F and reissued in NMFC 100-G, GPSC 17. A hearing was held on July 10, 1980. There were no appearances on behalf of the applicant. The Commission considered the written testimony and exhibits presented and voted to deny said application.
In May, carriers participating in Georgia Motor Trucking Association Tariff 5-E proposed to increase rates on corn and soybeans as published in Supplement 2 to GMTA Tariff 5-E, GPSC-MF No. 30. Due to the amount of increase proposed, the Commission suspended these specific rates and set the matter down for hearing on July 10, 1980. After consideration of the evidence, the Commission denied the proposal based on the amount of increase proposed and the lack of justification for same.
Application was filed in April, 1980 by Georgia Motor Trucking Association, Inc. on behalf of participating carriers to their Georgia Intrastate Asphalt Tariff requesting an increase in rates and charges on asphalt. The Commission suspended the proposed adjustment and assigned the matter for hearing on July 10, 1980. Applicants presented evidence as to the need for such increase. However, the Commission felt that the evidence presented did not demonstrate a need for the additional revenue and, therefore, denied this application.
- 11-

There were eight Rule Nisi hearings: during 1980. for various violations of the Commission's rules. Most violations were the result of not charging correct rates, not issuing proper or complete bills of lading or operating out of scope of authority. Seven of these Rules Nisi resulted in $8,200 in fines being levied and paid. One hearing resulted in the carrier's Certificate being revoked.
In 1980, a hearing was held pertaining to the Commission's requirements for filing revenue and expense reports. Rule 1-13-1-.05 stated that carriers with an annual gross revenue from all sources of $500,000 or more would file an annual report and quarterly reports. An amendment was proposed to this rule which would allow carriers with revenues less than $1 ,000,000 to file an annual revenue and expense report as a Class III carrier. Carriers with revenues of $1 ,000,000 or more would file annual and quarterly reports that would be certified by a Certified Public Accountant. The matter was assigned Docket 10092-M and heard on December 11, 1980. In order, dated December 16, 1980, the Commission approved the above amendment.
BUS FARES AND CHARGES
By the end of 1980, there were 65 carriers certified to operate intrastate under the jurisdiction of the Commission, providing Passenger, Package Express and Charter Service to substantially all areas of the State. Out of the 65 certified carriers, 12 of these were new applications and operated during the calendar year.
A number of the intrastate carriers filed applications for authority to make adjustments in scheduled operations. Some 20 Press Releases were mailed to news media in areas affected by request for schedule changes and although some schedule requests were withdrawn, the greater majority were approved. There were 2 general rate increase requests made in intercity passenger fares, express and charter rates and charges.
In November, 1979, Greyhound Lines, Inc. requested authority to increase their Georgia Intrastate Commuter (Multi-Ride) ticket rates. The increased rates were originally suspended and public hearing was held. The applicant presented evidence to support their application. No passengers appeared in protest of the application. Therefore, after consideration of the exhibits and on the marked improvement in Greyhound's commuter service, the Commission allowed the proposed commuter rates to become effective with the continued provision that the 10 Ride Multi-Ride ticket be limited to 21 days from the date of the sale.
In June, 1980, National Bus Traffic Association, Inc. filed three applications on behalf of several motor passenger carriers requesting authority to increase their local and interline intercity passenger fares by 15% and their Package Express Rates by 12.6%. Four of the applicant carriers also requested an increase of approximately 47.9% on their Charter Coach Fares and Charges. Due to the amount of increases proposed and protests received, the Commission set the matter down for hearing. Numerous exhibits were offered by applicants and several witnesses appeared on behalf of the bus lines to present evidence and testimony in support of their application. Several protestants also appeared to express their opposition. After careful consideration of all the testimony in this proceeding, the Commission did not feel the evidence presented justified the granting of the full measure of the increase proposed, but did allow a 10% increase in the local and
- 12-

interline intercity passenger fares exclusive of the present fuel surcharge. The Commission also allowed the 12.6% increase in Package Express Rates and the increase in C.O.D. charges and Charter Coach charges to become effective as proposed. The Commission denied in full any increase in the commutation fares.
There was also a formal hearing held when National Bus Traffic Association filed an application on behalf of Greyhound Lines, Inc. to eliminate the equipment point of Augusta, Georgia from the Florida--Georgia Area Charter Coach Tariff 215. Due to numerous protests received from the public, the Commission suspended this application and set the matter down for hearing on July 10, 1980. The Commission considered the evidence presented but felt the elimination of the equipment point would not be in the best interest of the travelling public because of the increased cost of having to provide a bus from a more distant equipment point. Therefore, the Commission denied this application.
Several requests by smaller carriers for adjustment in service and increase in rates were made and approved.
RAILROAD FREIGHT RATES AND CHARGES
An application was filed by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Company requesting authority to discontinue operation of the station agency at Whigham, Georgia and to dualize the agency stations of Cairo and Climax, Georgia. The matter was assigned Docket 787-R and hearing was held on January 24, 1980. The application was approved with the exception that the railroad have an agent in Cairo and the other involved cities at the same time as the local train.
Application was filed by the Southern Railway Company for permission to institute condemnation proceedings to acquire certain property located in Paulding County, Georgia. The matter was assigned Docket 797-R and hearing was held on January 24, 1980. An order was issued on March 31, 1980 by the Commission authorizing the Southern Railway Company to exercise its right of eminent domain to the parcel of land located in Paulding County, Georgia and to utilize any method of condemnation provided by the statutes of the State of Georgia.
Application was filed by the Southern Freight Tariff Bureau on behalf of the Georgia railroads seeking authority to increase rates on shale, crude from Neill to Oakdale, Georgia as published in Supplement 10 to ICC SFA Tariff 4772-A. The matter was assigned Docket 798-R and set for hearing on July 10, 1980. At the hearing, applicant presented testimony and evidence in support of their application. A carrier appeared and testified in opposition to the proposed increase in rates. Due to protest received, the Commission denied application.
During 1980, there was one general revenue proceeding involving a formal hearing pertaining to railroad freight rates authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission and coming under the jurisdiction of the Georgia Public Service Commission. Ex Parte 375B was heard by the Commission on September 25, 1980. The Commission approved the application of the Georgia intrastate railroads to increase rates as filed in Ex Parte 375B to become effective no earlier than November 1, 1980. However, rates on corn, soybeans and agricultural limestone would become effective no earlier than January 1, 1981.
-1 3 -

Application was filed on behalf of the Georgia Railroad seeking authority to reduce the frequency of mixed train service between Atlanta and Augusta by the discontinuance of the Sunday schedule. This matter was assigned Docket 800--R and set for hearing on November 7, 1980. After consideration of the evidence, testimony and exhibits presented, application was granted to become effective no earlier than December 2, 1980.
Docket 801-R was also heard on November 7, 1980. This was a hearing to determine the adequacy of passenger service being rendered by the Georgia Railroad. This matter is still pending before this Commission.
In October of 1980, an application was filed by the Athens Terminal Company requesting approval of the surrender of its charter and transfer of its franchise to operate a railroad within the State of Georgia to Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Company and the subsequent dissolution of Athens Terminal Company as a corporation. This Commission, in compliance with the Code of Georgia, set the matter for hearing to be held December 11, 1980. After consideration of the evidence and testimony presented, the application was granted on December 16, 1980.
MOBILE RAIL AGENCY SERVICE
At the close of calendar year 1980, there were 37 mobile agency operations in existence within the State of Georgia. During the year, inspections were made by personnel from the Transportation Rates and Services Division to determine if service to the shipping and receiving public was being satisfactorily rendered.
The mobile agency concept of providing service to stations under which one agent can perform the needed service at a savings to the railroad while adequately handling the needs of the shipping and receiving public at involved points continues to be operated with success.
The Commission did not receive any complaints against service rendered by the individual Mobile Agents for the railroads.

MOTOR CARRIER CERTIFICATION AND ENFORCEMENT DIVISION
Itoo important functions of the Public Service Commission are to ensure to the public a viable transportation system to satisfy their needs as shippers and receivers of freight, and to maintain a healthy bus transportation system for the convenience of the traveling public; also, to provide protection to the public by requiring that all "for-hire" motor carriers under the Commission*s jurisdiction retain on file with the Commission evidence of bodily injury and property damage and/or cargo insurance coverage in at least the minimum requirements of the Commission ($100,000/$300, 000/$50,000), and to maintain their vehicles in accordance with the Commission's vehicle safety standards.
The Certification and Enforcement Division is responsible for receiving and processing all motor carrier applications for Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity; and all applications to register interstate operating authority in Georgia; maintaining the Commission's motor carrier files; issuance of GPSC vehicle registration tags or identification stamps; and enforcing the laws of Georgia and rules and regulations of the Commission relative to "for-hire" motor transportation. Page 21 of this report contains a summary of certificate and registration permit transactions handled by this division as well as other miscellaneous matters. The enforcement section of this division is composed of a Chief Enforcement Officer, two District Supervisors and fifteen enforcement officers.
All applications for certificates are handled by the Certification Section of the Division whose responsibility it is to insure that applications are properly completed; that terminology contained therein coincides with authority applicant is seeking; that all vague and ambiguous terms are clarified or deleted; that applicant understands what responsibility he must assume in presenting his case before the Commission; and to assist the applicant wherever possible.
Members of the Staff attend all public hearings before the Commission involving motor carriers operating authority to lend technical assistance to the Commission when needed. Likewise, members of the Staff attend the Commission's administrative sessions to advise and assist the Commission in reaching its decisions in such cases.
-15-

Pursuant to the Commission's decisions in Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity matters, the certification section notifies the applicant of the Commission's decision, and if favorable, the necessary criteria for becoming qualified for issuance of a Certificate. Once the carrier qualifies with the Commission, the Certificate is issued, citing the authority granted which becomes the official Order of the Commission.
The Certification and Enforcement Division continued to function under the cooperative agreement between the Public Service Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission in a combined effort to eliminate illegal transportation practices of certain carriers and shippers.
During 1980 our enforcement officers continued the Commission's program designed to assist in the protection of the public using the highways of Georgia and to apprise the carriers of the operating habits of their drivers. Our officers are provided with an appropriate observation form and a tape recorder to enable them to observe motor carrier vehicles while in operation, recording their description, location of inspection, activities and operational violations. Each officer is responsible for making an assigned number of these observation reports daily and copies of the reports are sent to the carriers for their information and appropriate corrective action where they deem such necessary. These officers also are charged with the responsibility of contacting shippers throughout the state to determine the level of their trucking service and to assist them wherever possible. Reports of unsatisfactory service are made to the Certification Division where contacts with the carrier are conducted toward remedying the shippers complaints.
The Certification and Enforcement Division, in addition to the responsibility of processing all motor carrier insurance filings (which number over 100,000 per year) as well as maintaining all motor carrier files (numbering in excess of 2 0 ,000), was responsible for processing 3,606 interstate registration of authority applications and amendments thereto and the issuance of all intrastate and interstate Georgia Public Service Commission Motor vehicle registrations which resulted in the collection of fees summarized on Page 19 of this report.
During 1980 the fifteen Commission enforcement officers performed thousands of vehicle inspections for operating authority and proper vehicle registration and identification, resulting in detection of 2,520 violations and collection of $63,000, in vehicle registration fees where vehicles had not been properly registered with the Commission by the carriers. They also performed 1,100 rate checks of intrastate "for-hire" carriers to ensure that the certificated carriers were adhering to the rates and charges
-16-

published in their tariffs lawfully on file with the Commission and, in addition, performed 4,264 other miscellaneous functions in the pursuit of the Commission's business, including personal contacts, special investigations, vehicle observations reports, etcetera.
The Commission*s enforcement officers are assigned specific territories in the state ranging from six counties (Atlanta area) to as many as nineteen counties in the southwest section of the state. They make detailed inspections of the general operations of motor transportation companies under the Commission's jurisdiction to determine if they are performing operations within the scope of authority granted by the Georgia Public Service Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission, and in accordance with the Commission's rules and regulations and the laws of Georgia relating to "for-hire" motor carrier operations. This includes the day-to-day examination of the regulated carriers' activities throughout their respective territory; conducting investigations relating to carriers' service; examination of the carriers' files, books, etc.; interrogation of carriers' personnel and offering advice to the carriers when needed or requested; contacting shippers throughout the State to ascertain the level of their truck service and report to the Commission of any deficiencies and conducting periodic road checks. In addition, these officers perform other specifically designated assignments related to the functions of the Public Service Commission.
During 1980, a number of concentrated road checks were conducted throughout the state, in addition to many other lesser checks made at strategic locations. The major road checks ranged from three to five days' duration, while the lesser checks lasted from several hours to one or two days. All of the enforcement officers operate continuously in their assigned territories and continue vigorously to ferret out and eliminate illegal transportation operations. The nature of the illegal operator precludes the establishment of permanent inspection points since Georgia's maze of highways enables the illegal operator to easily circumvent any permanently established check point. Our officers patrol the highways, investigate industrial sites and examine all other locations where the illegal trucker is possibly operating.
Illegal trucking operations throughout the United States siphon off millions of dollars annually from legitimate motor carrier operations upon whom the public depends to ship or receive their wares. The Commission's enforcement officers are highly trained in detecting the illegal operator and filtering through the quagmire of fictitious leases, freight bills, logs, etc. which usually accompany such operations. During 1980, the Commission's enforcement section was responsible for 1,582 arrests made
-17-

throughout the state stemming solely from intrastate and interstate f,for-hiren operations without proper authority from either the Georgia Public Service Commission or the Interstate Commerce Commission. These cases resulted in bonds totaling $357,651.00 being posted in the counties where arrests were made. In addition, 355 warnings were issued to carriers operating illegally in Georgia.
The Commission, who helped pioneer the development of the Uniform Registration Standards of Public Law 89-170 applicable to carriers operating solely in interstate commerce under authority granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission, or carriers operating in interstate commerce specifically exempt from the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission, continues to operate subject to the above standards. These standards were promulgated by the Interstate Commerce Commission pursuant to the provisions of Section 202(b)(2) of the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U.S.C. Section 302(b)(2). Georgia was one of the first states to adopt the standards and the Certification and Enforcement Division has actively engaged in assisting other states in effectuating these procedures.

NATURAL GAS SAFETY
During calendar year 1980, two hundred and eighty-nine separate inspections were performed in the territory which comes under the jurisdiction of this Commission. One hundred and seventy-eight items of noncompliance were found during these inspections, and one hundred and twenty of these were corrected by year's end. The majority of the violations were in the process of being cleared as determined during the latest inspection of the system. Major items con cerning the Minimum Federal Safety Standards which were covered during these inspections include: monitoring of district regulatory station maintenance; determining required capacity of pressure relieving and limiting stations; written emergency plan; requirements for corrosion control; repair and recheck of hazardous leaks; and an overall review of recordkeeping requirements per the operator's "Operation and Maintenance" plan.
Also, one natural gas explosion occurred during the year injuring sixteen people and involving a gas distribution facility, at a total cost of approxi mately $500,000. Commission personnel from the Gas Safety office performed an

investigation of this incident and reported their findings to the Secretary of Transportation in our annual certification.
ELECTRIC UTILITIES
Georgia Power Company
Georgia Power is an investor-owned electric utility serving 57,000 of the state's 59,000 square miles. The Company supplies electric power at retail in over 600 towns and communities and at wholesale to 39 rural electric coopera tives (through Oglethorpe Power Corporation) and to 50 municipalities (47 of which are represented by the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia).
As of December 31, 1980, Georgia Power had 1,215,714 customers, of which 1,072,267 were residential and 141,881 were commercial and industrial customers. Streetlighting customers totaled 1,566.
The Company s customers used a total of 46.3 billion kilowatt-hours (KWH) during 1980, which was 7.1 percent more than in 1979. On July 16, 1980, the combined territorial demands of Georgia Power, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, the Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia and the City of Dalton reached a record peak load of 11,154,000 kilowatts.
The average price residential customers paid during 1980 was 4.56 cents per KWH, an increase of 13.7 percent over 1979.
Overall, revenues for 1980 increased 19 percent over 1979 to $1.8 billion. This increase was primarily due to a full year of authorized rate increases, greater KWH sales due to the extended summer heat wave, and increased sales to ^^frkoring utilities. Total fuel cost for 1980 increased 19.8 percent over 1979 to $716.6 million.
Other operation and maintenance expenses for 1980 increased 10.1 percent to $370.8 million. Interest charges and preferred dividends for 1980 increased 3.6 percent over 1979 to $192.9 million.
In January 1980, the Georgia Public Service Commission granted the Com pany $46.1 million, which was in addition to the $122.9 million awarded the Company in 1979 as part of the rate case filed in November 1978.
The Company's construction program for 1980 totaled $691 million. Work continued on the coal-fired units at Plant Scherer, the Vogtle Nuclear Plant and the Rocky Mountain pumped storage hydro plant. During 1980, a combustion turbine was placed into service at Plant Wansley. The remaining five units of Wallace Dam were also completed and placed in service in 1980. This faci lity increased the Company's hydro generating capacity by 74 percent and the first pumped storage hydro plant in the Southern electric system.
To offset part of the financial burden of the Company's construction pro gram, property sales were consummated during 1980. The Company sold a 60 percent interest in Plant Scherer Units 1 and 2 to Oglethorpe and an additional 15.1 percent interest in these units to MEAG. The Company received approxi mately $416 million from these transactions. In conjunction with these sales, the Company also repurchased the total ownership of MEAG and the City of
-25-

Dalton in Plant Scherer Units 3 and 4, thus restoring the Company's 100 percent ownership of these units.
In late 1980, financing arrangements were completed for the Company's new corporate headquarters in downtown Atlanta. This new facility will bring to gether personnel from locations throughout the city. With its innovative de sign and energy-efficient features, it is anticipated that the building will use 55 percent less energy than required for similar structures, making it one of the most energy-efficient buildings of its kind in the nation.
Company efforts to encourage energy conservation accelerated in 1980 with the construction of approximately 1,145 energy-efficient Good Cents Homes throughout the state, nearly doubling the number (603) built in 1979. In addi tion, the Company performed more than 10,000 home energy audits, giving cus tomers practical advice on ways to conserve energy.
The Positive Load Control Pilot Program which had been announced in 1979 was activated in June 1980 and continued through September for the 6,000 cus tomers who volunteered to have their central air conditioners turned off by a remote-control device during peak demand periods. Follow-up surveys showed customer response to the program was generally favorable and the project is being repeated in 1981.
In December, Georgia Power announced its Passive Solar Good Cents Home program, which will combine the energy-saving elements of passive solar con struction with the efficient Good Cents Home requirements.
Programs to help city and county governments reduce their energy needs continued, as did the planning process for strong load management programs in the future to assure adequate electricity for 1981.

MISCELLANEOUS NON-DOCKETED MATTERS

SAVANNAH ELECTRIC & POWER COMPANY made a proposal to the Commission to amend its Fuel Cost Recovery "FCR-1" schedule which essentially would allow the Company to negotiate an agreement with the Georgia Power Company so it could purchase on a contract basis capacity and energy available from predominantly coal-burning systems to displace part of its own higher cost oil-burning system. On January 24, 1980 the Commission found this proposed amendment in the best interest of the public and approved same.

SAVANNAH ELECTRIC & POWER COMPANY made application for authority to enter into a lease and contract with Intervest Corporation of Atlanta covering a new computer system for the Company. On October 7, 1980, the Commission voted to approve same.

ALL UTILITIES REGULATED BY THE COMMISSION: On February 20, 1980 the Commission voted to require all utilities to report to the Commission the dollar amount spent by any utility as a result of the lobbying effort before the Georgia Legislature in 1980, which was charged above the line to the ratepayers of Georgia. This information was requested pursuant to Commission Rule 515-3-1-.04 (3) with an estimation of that portion expended with regard to House Bill 1252.

ALL ELECTRIC UTILITIES: On April 28, 1980, the Commission voted to require all electric utilities operating in Georgia to submit to the Commission a plan for reduction of residential electrical consumption by approximately 25%.

CHICKAMAUGA TELEPHONE CORPORATION: As a result of Commission staff1 field audit report dated September 11, 1980 in which audit exceptions were found, the Commission ordered the Company to comply with all recommendations contained in said report, specifically those dealing with tariff, customer deposits, salary and employee expenses, and country club and civic club dues.

CONTINENTAL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF THE SOUTH: On December 2, 1980, the Commission

considred

the merger of West Florida Telephone Company into Continental Telephone

Company of the South and determined as a conclusion of law that they did not have

jurisdiction over this merger since it did not affect any Georgia properties.
