(a)   Each utility shall provide upon request within ten (10) business days to the Commission suitable, detailed maps, a size and media as agreed by the utility and the PUD Director, of its general system and shall maintain suitable, detailed maps of its entire system, which shall be made available to the Commission on request. The general system maps may be provided by sections or counties where necessary to meet the size requirements. Such maps shall be brought up to date annually, not later than ninety (90) days after the end of the utility's fiscal year. Electronic submission is preferred; however, all forms of submission will be accepted.

(b)   No later than one (1) year after the effective date of this rule, each utility having a distribution system within the State of Oklahoma shall endeavor to provide the locations of the distribution lines within the utility's service territory, including all lines extending more than one mile outside of the utility's service territory, to the PUD Director using geographic information system data or standards as prescribed by the PUD Director. Electronic submission is preferred; however, all forms of submission will be accepted.

(c)   For purposes of this subsection, transmission facilities shall be excluded from mapping submissions. Transmission facility maps shall be retained at the utility, and shall be made available onsite upon request by PUD, subject to other regulatory requirements.

(d)   The Commission finds, pursuant to Article IX, Section 18 of the Oklahoma Constitution, and 51 O.S. § 24A.22, that all general system maps that are not otherwise publicly available are hereby classified as confidential. All documents and information considered to be confidential must be clearly marked as such.
