2 The Oklahoma Corporation Commission & Office ofadministrative Proceedings Page 2 A. THE OKLAHOMA CORPORATION COMMISSION REGULATES ESSENTIAL PUBLIC SERVICES^ The Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC or Commission) is the primary regulatory body over several vital sectors of the economy of the state of Oklahoma. The agency is one of the few remaining constitutionally empowered state ratemaking, permitting and regulatory agencies possessing combined authority over telecommunications, transportation and transmission of electricity and natural gas, and natural resource extraction. The OCC regulates railroads, pubhc utilities and public service corporations including electricity and natural gas rates and dehvery and telecommunications and transmission, rural water utilities and cotton gins,' oil and gas conservation including exploration, production, gathering, abandonment, waste disposal, pollution abatement, prevention and remediation; transportation and motor carriers including pipeline and motor carrier safety; and aboveground and underground tank storage and dehvery of petroleum-based motor fuels. Further, the OCC is a court of record with respect to adjudicatory authority over its jurisdictional areas. The OCC performs these functions through the work of its approximately 400 employees separated into six primary public service divisions Public Utilities, Oil and Gas Conservation, Transportation, Petroleum Storage Tank, Administrative Proceedings and Consumer Services and three divisions that provide services to the other divisions Information Technology, Office of General Counsel, and Administration. The primary functions ofthe OCC are- 1. To regulate and enforce requirements through orders and rules, the rates and charges of public utilities and public service corporations in a manner to prevent and eliminate monopolistic or discriminatory practices, and to oversee the quality of service of most public utilities and service providers in the state with respect to the delivery and operation of telecommunication, electrical and natural gas services to industrial and private consumers. This authority entails response and assistance to consumer complaints about such public services. 2. To regulate and enforce requirements through orders, permits, licenses and rules, the conservation, exploration, development, production, operation, site* abandonment and remediation ofoil and gas resources in Oklahoma, and to exercise the specific duties to prevent the waste of such resources and to protect the correlative rights of private owners of minerals in the state. This authority further entails the prevention and abatement of pollution associated with oil and gas ^ Portions of text J&rom Oklahoma Corporation Commission's Annual Report, Fiscal Year2012 dit 2.

Also, this function entails response and assistance to consumer complaints about oil and gas exploration and production and royalty owner problems. The OCC regulates the development of certain mineral brines in a manner similar to oil and gas resources. 3. To regulate and enforce requirements through orders, permits and rules, the safety and operation of intrastate railroads and motor carriers including the regulation of railroad safety, railroad crossings and standards, and the regulation of motor carrier safety, insurance and taxation requirements and permitting of deleterious substance transporters in the state. This authority includes regulation and oversight of petroleum and other tj^es of transportation pipelines (and gathering lines under certain conditions) in terms of public health, safety and environment protection, pollution prevention, abatement and closure and remediation. 4. To regulate and enforce requirements through orders, permits and rules, the storage, delivery, and quality of refined motor fuels including the oversight, closure and reclamation of petroleum storage tanks in terms of public health, safety and environmental protection, pollution prevention, abatement and remediation in the state. The OCC derives its ratemaking and anti-monopoly authority from the Oklahoma Constitution, Article IX. From this mandate, as well as other enabung statutes, the OCC possesses wide discretion to implement and enforce its authority over its specified jurisdictional areas through the unique combination of executive, legislative and judicial power. The agency exercises statewide legislative prerogatives through its constitutional ratemaking powers and rulemaking authority under the state Administrative Procedures Act and various enabling statutes. The OCC can enforce requirements through its executive and police power through orders, citations, subpoenas and other legal process. The OCC functions as a court of record when it adjudicates matters by hearing and order in an individual proceeding within its regulatory jurisdiction. The OCC's three (3) commissioners make the final decisions on all regulatory matters within the agency's jurisdiction. The OCC's orders and rulemaking actions can be appealed only to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. Article IX of the Oklahoma Constitution estabhshed the OCC in 1907, and the First Legislature gave the Commission authority to regulate public service corporations, those businesses whose services are considered essential to the public welfare. The legal principle for such regulation had been established in 1877 when the United States Supreme Court ruled in Munn v. Illinois, 94 U.S. 113 (1877), that when a private company's business affects the community at large, it becomes a public entity subject to state regulation.

4 The Oklahoma Corporation Commission & Office ofadministrative Proceedings Page 4 Initially, the OCC regulated transportation and transmission companies, mostly railroads and telephone and telegraph companies. The OCC also was directed to collect and maintain records of the stockholders, officers and directors of all corporations chartered or licensed to do business in Oklahoma (about 12,500 at statehood). As the state grew, the records collection task became larger than one agency could handle. The OCC kept authority for public service companies, and responsibility for other corporations was allocated to the Secretary of State and other state commissions and agencies according to business t5rpe. Pipelines and telephone service were placed under OCC jurisdiction in Regulation of water, heat, light and power rates began in The OCC began regulating oil and gas in 1914 when it restricted oil drilling and production in the Cushing and Healdton fields to prevent waste when production exceeded pipeline transport capacity. In 1915, the Legislature passed the Oil and Gas Conservation act. This expanded oil and gas regulation to include the protection of the rights of all parties entitled to share in the benefits of oil and gas production. Also in 1915, the Legislature declared cotton gins to be public utilities and extended the OCC's authority over utility companies to include practices as well as rates. While the basic regulatory responsibility of the OCC has remained intact, many changes in state and federal laws have changed what is regulated. The OCC presently regulates public utilities, except those under municipal or federal jurisdiction or exempt from regulation; oil and gas drilling, production and environmental protection; the safety aspects of motor carrier, rail and pipeline transportation and the environmental integrity of petroleum storage tank systems. It also has responsibility for the proper operation of fuel dispensing units ("gas pumps") at retail filling stations. The OCC also enforces federal regulations for underground injection of water and chemicals, underground disposal of certain oil and gas waste fluids and remediation of soil and groundwater pollution caused by leaking petroleum products storage tanks. As mentioned previously, Oklahoma Constitution, Article IX, established the OCC in 1907, and the First Legislature gave the agency authority to regulate public service corporations, those businesses whose services are considered essential to the public welfare. Since the establishment of its general constitutional power, the agency has been granted statutory authority by subsequent Oklahoma Legislatures through omnibus provisions in Oklahoma Statutes, Title 17, Chapters 1 through 5, and various enabling acts covering specific areas of OCC jurisdiction in Oklahoma Statute, Titles 17, 27A, 29, 47, 52, 68 and 82. These acts include:

The terms are staggered so one commissioner vacancy occurs every two (2) years. The election pattern was established when the Commission was created by the state constitution. The first three (3) elected commissioners drew lots for two-year, four-year and six-year terms. In-term vacancies are filled by gubernatorial appointment. Appointed commissioners serve until the next regular election. Fifteen (15) commissioners have been seated by appointment. E.R. Hughes is the only commissioner to serve two non-successive terms. He was elected in 1920, lost a bid for reelection in 1926, and then won another term in There have been 39 Commission panels (the same three commissioners sitting together) since the Commission was created in The average tenure for a panel is about 4 years. The panel with the longest tenure was the 20th, when Harold Freeman, Wilburn Cartwright and Ray C. Jones sat together for more than 13 years ( ). Jones has the longest individual tenure, serving nearly 30 years before retiring in January 1976 for health reasons. The longest individual tenure of the current panel is that of Commissioner Bob Anthony, who has served since January Presently, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission is comprised of the following state officials* Commissioner Bob Anthony, Chairman Commissioner Patrice Douglas, Vice Chairman Commissioner Dana Murphy In January 2015, the Honorable Todd Hiett, Commissioner-Elect and former Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives, will replace Commissioner Patrice Douglas, who did not seek reelection in 2014.

OKLAHOMA CORPORATION COMMISSION OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS FUNCTIONS AND OPERATIONS In addition to the Director's Office and Administrative Support, there are four (4) specialized areas of the Office of Administrative Proceedings (OAP), which operate from two (2) Regional Service Offices of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) in Oklahoma City and Tulsa^ 1. Oil and Gas Conservation s (ALJs) conduct hearings, issue recommendations, and review and approve Commission orders in applications relating to oil and gas conservation, petroleum storage tank regulation, and enforcement matters in these areas of OCC jurisdiction. The Oil and Gas ALJs conduct initial hearings on the merits of applications and motions in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. A staff of Court Reporters transcribes testimony and proceedings in both Regional Service Offices. 2. Public Utility and Transportation ALJs conduct hearings, issue recommendations, and review and approve OCC orders in apphcations relating to regulation of public utilities (including consumer complaints), transportation and motor carrier activity, and enforcement matters in these areas of OCC jm-isdiction. The PU ALJs conduct hearings in Oklahoma City. 3. The Oil and Gas Appellate Referee/ALJ conducts appellate and exception hearings in oil and gas conservation and petroleum storage tank matters, which are protested before the initial ALJs. 4. The OCC's Court Clerk accepts the filing of applications, notices, affidavits and issues OCC orders, accepts payment of court fees and fines, and maintains public records in the form of OCC orders, appucation and court files, and docket information in hard copy and digital formats. Court Clerk offices and public records are maintained at the OCC's Regional Service Offices in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. C. OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS ANNUAL REPORT - FISCAL YEAR 2014 The Office of Administrative Proceedings (OAP) is the judicial division of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (Commission or OCC). OAP's staff includes administrative law judges (ALJs), legal secretaries, court reporters, and the Court Clerk's Office. Adjudicative proceedings are conducted in two offices - the Western Regional Office, Oklahoma City and the Eastern Regional Office, Tulsa. Both locations maintain a Court Clerk's Office, which accepts filings of

8 The Oklahoma Corporation Commission & Office ofadministrative Proceedings Page 8 applications, notices, affidavits, hearing exhibits, and other pleadings in cases brought for relief from the OCC pursuant to its regulatory jurisdiction. The Eastern Regional Service Office's Court Clerk only receives court documents and permit filings which relate to oil and gas conservation matters. Pursuant to statute, to maximize the convenience of the public, parties, and witnesses, testimony and evidence may be presented in the court of record proceedings by telephonic connection, instead of requiring personal appearances before an administrative law judge and court reporter. Telephone hearings are conducted in both the Regional Service Offices. The Eastern Regional Service Office in Tulsa provides telephonic connections to OAP's Oklahoma City courtrooms and a teleconferencing connection to the Commission's primary courtroom in Oklahoma City. Correspondingly, the Western Regional Service Office provides telephone connections to the Tulsa courtrooms. In FY2014 testimony was presented by telephone in 2,282 hearings. 1. HEAEINGS: Most applications requiring OCC action are considered first by ALJs, who conduct evidentiary hearings; rule on objections, motions and emergency applications; interpret and apply law; make oral and written recommendations to the Commissioners for consideration and action; and review proposed orders prior to submission to the Commission's signing agenda. Exceptions to the ALJs' recommendations may be filed with the full Commission, which can entertain oral arguments. The Commissioners, however, may refer the oral arguments on exceptions in certain types of matters to its oil and gas appellate referee, who files an additional report recommending a course of action. Commission orders may be appealed to the Oklahoma Supreme Court. During FY2014, twelve administrative law judges and two appellate referees conducted 40,594 hearings. 2. OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION & PETROLEUM STORAGE TANKS: Oil and gas administrative law judges conduct hearings involving applications within the OCC's jurisdiction over oil and gas conservation, petroleum storage tanks, and natural gas gathering fees and open access. The oil and gas ALJs hear enforcement cases involving these areas of regulatory authority. The Oklahoma City office's oil and gas ALJ staff consists of seven full-time members who conduct hearings exclusively on oil and gas conservation/petroleum storage tank dockets. The Tulsa office's oil and gas ALJ staff consists of one full-time member and one part-time member who conduct hearings exclusively on oil and gas conservation dockets. The division director also serves as an oil and gas ALJ in both offices. There is one primary oil and gas appellate referee who hears exceptions arising from the Regional Service Offices. Also, one public utility administrative law 8

9 The Oklahoma Corporation Commission & Office ofadministrative Proceedings Page 9 judge serves as an oil and gas appellate referee; and when necessary, hears some exceptions arising from the Regional Service Offices. During FY2014, there were hearings concerning 12,340 initial applications and 2,653 motions brought before the OCC's oil and gas administrative law judges, while 62 protested initial applications and motions were the subject of exception proceedings conducted by the oil and gas referee.

14 Office ofadministrative Proceedings Division Director: Michael Decker Division Highlights: During FY 2014, OAP staff members met extensively with representatives of Iron Data Co. regarding the implementation ofthe Star PSC case management system. Also, staff members participated in task force meetings organized by the Administration Division to design a protocol for Commissioners' approval oforders through Star PSC. December 10, 2013, the kick-off for Star PSC phase one implementation occurred involving Iron Data and OCC staff from all divisions. Thereafter, OAP was the first division to meet with Iron Data to finalize programming details for Star PSC, with consultations occurring throughout the year. During FY 2014, OAP's staff members made progress with a review of proposed form orders to be recommended as templates for certain types ofoil and Gas Conservation and Public Utility applications for use with future in online filing. Planning commenced in March, when OAP staff members met with the Administration Division, Office of General Counsel, and the Oil and Gas Conservation Division to plan stakeholder input and development of form applications and orders. Next, in April and May, OAP staff members developed order drafts. By June, staff members were ready to circulate drafts to other divisions. Ultimately, drafts will be provided to a focus group ofexternal-users, who utilize existing digital facsimile filing processes. The project will culminate with delivery ofform orders for inclusion in online filing procedures. During the quarter, OAP's staffmembers conferred with the Commissioners' offices, the Public Utility Division, and the Office of General Counsel regarding the scheduling of Universal Service Fund reconsideration applications, which have increased during the first halfof2014. OAP's staffmembers participated in meetings to develop a procedure by which the Commission can efficiently process such applications through hearing and final order. OAP 4^ Quarter 2014 Page 1

21 other Details: Tuesday, May 20, 2014, OAP's Western Regional Service office hosted a delegation of 15 attorneys from Shenzhen, China. The delegation was sponsored in Oklahoma City by the Oklahoma City University School of Law for a 30-day training program. The delegation observed hearings at the OCC from 8:30 to 11:30, including a visit to the Commissioners' daily signing agenda. Thereafter, the delegation attended a panel discussion regarding American energy law practice hosted by GableGotwals law firm at its Oklahoma City office. During the quarter, contact was reestablished with William Brunson, Special Projects Coordinator, National Judicial College, regarding the potential for an NJC program in Oklahoma City designed for all OCC legal staff and ALJs. At the end of June, Mr. Brunson was in communication with the Office of General Counsel about the terms of a draft contract for the event. The program is being considered for the 2015 summer desk week. In May 2014, the Oil and Gas Conservation ALJ staff completed an approximate 90-day survey of order review time through the submission of a report to the Administration Division summarizing information recorded in spread sheets and developed from analysis of entries into the Access order tracking program. The initiative was a primary focus across most of FY Development of spread sheets commenced in the first quarter. The system was completed and tested during the second quarter, with use beginning in January. Completion of the survey in May provided a statistical picture of processing time and other aspects the review process for oil and gas conservation orders. The information hopeftilly will be usefiil as the division transitions into the Star PSC case management system in The fiscal year saw the completion of planning and execution of the 2013 Oil and Gas Institute. The Institute was held Friday, October 18, 2013, at the University of Oklahoma-Tulsa's Schusterman Learning Center. Planning commenced prior the start of the fiscal year, but was a major objective in the second quarter. Entitled ''Bright Horizons: Recent Trends in Oklahoma Oil and Gas Conservation Law and Practice,'' the event attracted approximately 280 attendees from across the southwest.
