British Columbia Utilities CommissionInformation Request 1.61.0Dated 19 June 2006British Columbia Transmission CorporationResponse Issued 7 July 2006British Columbia Transmission CorporationTransmission Revenue Requirement Application61.0 Reference: Exhibit B-1 Section 7, Table 7-7 page 72, Depreciation StudyAppendix B, page III-3RESPONSE:Please reconcile the F2007 Depreciation expense on Table 7-7 with theAnnual Accrual Amounts from page III-3 of the Depreciation Study.Please express these reconciling differences in terms of Annual AccrualAmounts and depreciation rates by Profile ID.The Annual Accrual Amounts on page III-3 of the Depreciation Study are generallydetermined by dividing the Surviving Original Cost at March 31, 2005 over the LifeEstimate for Current Plant by Profile ID. These amounts therefore assume full yeardepreciation based on the original cost of assets as at March 31, 2005. However theAnnual Accrual Amounts do not take into consideration those assets that are fullydepreciated at March 31, 2005 as well as F2006 and F2007 asset retirements, assetadditions and accelerated depreciation associated with SCMP assets.The F2007 forecast depreciation expense in Table 7-7 is determined based on forecastassets in service as at March 31, 2006 adjusted for impacts of F2007 additions andretirements, accelerated depreciation on SCMP assets and composite rates in Table 7-9as determined from the Depreciation Study results on page III-3. As a result of thesedifferences, it is unclear whether it would be possible to reconcile the differences at theProfile ID level. If possible, the reconciliation would involve an extensive effort.
