WHEREAS:

A.      On November 29, 2018, Kinder Morgan Canada (Jet Fuel) Inc. (KMJF) filed with the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) an application for approval of Tariff No. 40, which extends the existing terms of service and tolls payable for the transportation of turbine fuel to Vancouver International Airport and the Burnaby Terminal (Application), effective January 1, 2019;

B.      By Order P-1-18 dated December 14, 2018, the BCUC approved, on an interim and refundable basis, KMJF’s Application effective January 1, 2019 to the earlier of December 31, 2019, or the parties reaching a mutual agreement;

C.      By letter dated May 16, 2019, VAFFC submitted a request to the BCUC to reverse the KMJF interim toll established in Order P-1-18 and return to the existing toll in place at the time of the Application;

D.      On June 28, 2019, the BCUC issued Order P-6-19 with Reasons for Decision, denying Vancouver Airport Fuel Facilities Corporation’s (VAFFC) request that the BCUC reverse its approval of KMJF’s interim rate approved by Order P-1-18;

E.       On November 19, 2019, the BCUC issued Order P-10-19 with accompanying Reasons for Decision, which BCUC directed KMJF to file further and better answers to specific VAFFC information requests (IR) and amended the regulatory timetable for review of the Application;

F.       On November 27, 2019, by Order P-11-19, the BCUC further amended the regulatory timetable in response to extension requests from KMJF for the deadline to file IR responses and from VAFFC for the deadline to file intervener evidence, which causes the regulatory timetable to extend into 2020;

G.     On December 2, 2019, KMJF filed an application for the interim tariff approved by Orders P-1-18 and P-6-19 to remain in effect until the earlier of December 31, 2020, the parties reach a mutual agreement or by further order from the BCUC; and

H.      The BCUC has reviewed the request by KMJF and considers an amendment to the regulatory timetable is warranted.

NOW THEREFORE the BCUC orders that the regulatory timetable established by Order P-11-19 is amended, as set out in Appendix A to this order.

DATED at the City of Vancouver, in the Province of British Columbia, this            5th            day of December 2019.
