Synopsis of Order

In this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, comment is sought on recommendations of the Joint Conference. The Commission convened the Joint Conference on August 27, 2002, as a FederalState partnership to reexamine regulatory accounting requirements, and recommend additions and modifications thereto. On October 9, 2003, the Joint Conference submitted the result of a yearlong study of the Commission's accounting rules and ongoing proceedings related to the Commission's accounting requirements. Here, comment is sought on those
recommendations. Comment also is sought on further delaying the implementation of four accounting and reporting rule changes, to allow time for receipt and consideration of comments responding to the Joint Conference's recommendations with regard to the four rule changes.
