(2) A gas utility may propose or the Commission may require a gas utility to file the data described in OAR 860-030-0007(1) during the two-year period between filing integrated plans pursuant to Order No. 89-507 to reflect significant changes in circumstances, such as acquisition of a major block of resources. Such a revision will become effective 90 days after filing. (3) At least every two years, the gas utility must file with the Commission the data described in section (1) of this rule.
