Testimony of F. A. Donofrio 7-)

%.)

Q. Please state your name and address.

A. My,name is F. Allen Donofrio. My business address is 1001 Broad Street, Johnstown, Pennsylvania 15907.

Q. By whom are you employed and in what capacity?

A. I am employed by Pennsylvania Electric Company

("Penelec") as Comptroller.

Q. Please describe your educational and professional background.

,- A. A summary of my educational and professional

'N) ~'

background is set forth on Appendix A attached to this testimony.

Q. Please describe your duties as Comptroller at Penelec.

A. As Comptroller, I am directly responsible for all accounting books and records of the Company and the "ac-counting controls and procedures which safeguard the assets of the Company and assure accurate financial records and j reports, and for developing and monitoring budgets and assuring proper cost controls. My present position requires l ,_,

interfacing with all Penelec functions as well as accounting

( )

and financial personnel at the parent company L"GPU") and GPU Service Corporation ("GPUSC") .

e 4 Q. What has been the nature and scope of your in-O volvement in the planned management combination of Penelec and Metropolitan Edison Company (" Met-Ed")?

A. Shortly after the announcement of a combined management structure on January 17, 1980, W. A. Verrochi, designated President and Chief Operating Officer of the combined management organization, formed a committee to gather information and conduct various analyses in prep-aration for eventual implementation of the announced plan.

This committee, consisting of F. J. Smith (Met-Ed), R. W.

Conrad (Penelec) and myself, as project coordinator, sought and obtained input from various officers and other personnel at Penelec, Met-Ed, GPUSC, GPU and sources outside of the GPU System, including in particular Theodore Barry & Associ'h*tes i

(which was conducting a management audit of the GPU System for this Commission) in order to formulate a rational strategy for implementation.

One of my contributions to this team effort, consistent with my present corporate responsibilities, has been to quantify the impact of the planned combined manage-ment and the reorganization of the operating divisions of Penelec and Met-Ed, including the development of accounting procedures, expense savings, avoided costs and cost allocation l

formulae.

3- j Q. What is the purpose of your testimony in this O

V proceeding?

A. In line with my contributions thus far to the development of the combined management organization and the planned divisional reorganization, the purpose of this testimony is to provide specific information and details on:

(1) the estimated potential cost savings that can be realized by the management combination and the divisional reorganizaton; (2) a quantification of the anticipated costs projected to be avoided due to the management combination and divisional reorganization; (3) the ratemaking and financing handling of the companies under the combined management organization;-end (4) allocation of compensation and fringe benefit costs for work performed which has not been identified with a specific company or project.

Q. Have you made an estimate of the potential-cost savings and cost avoidance that can be accomplishedeby those two planned programs?

A. Yes. I estimate that $18 million of potential savings and cost avoidance can be realized . rom the planned management combination and divisional reorganization.

O

_y_

Q. Please provide first of all a break-down of l

() the cost savings expected to result from the combined Penelec/ Met-Ed management and divisional reorganization.

A. It is our current projection that approximately

$9.6 million can be saved by reason of the management combination and divisional reorganization. These savings would result from the reduction of 247 employees in the supervisory, exempt, non-union /non-exempt and union job classifications. PN/ME Exhibit 7 shows the development of this projection based upon the attribution of certain payroll, fringe benefits, materials and supplies, transportation and miscellaneous expenses to the various positions that will be eliminated.

Q. Please provide a break-down of the costs expected to be avoided by virtue of the management com-bination and divisional reorganization.

A. In our projections in this area of cost control, we have used the term " cost avoidance" to mean expenses that would otherwise be incurred in the absence of any managepent combination. Without the combined structure, it would be necessary to duplicate staffs in Penelec and Met-Ed in order to achieve reasonable operating, productivity, conservation, procurement, customer service and communications objectives.

Therefore, the economic benefits of the planned combination

[]) include " cost avoidance" dollars related to employee increases which would be needed in the absence of the combination.

PN/ME Exhibit 8 shows projected cost avoidance of up to

0

$7.7 million which would result from the avoidance of up to 205 positions in the supervisory, exempt, non-union /non-exempt and union categories which would be needed in the absence of the management combination. The $7.7 million cost avoidance has been developed by attributing certain payroll, fringe benefits, materials and supplies, trans-portation and miscellaneous expenses to the avoided positions.

The result of this process yields potential cost avoidance savings of up to $2.8 million in generation, $1.9 million in transmission and distribution; $1.1 million in conservation and load management, $.4 million in rate case management,

$.4 million in policies and procedures, $.7 million in materials management and $.4 million in the communications area. ---

Q. How are financings and rate case filings expected to be handled under the planned combined management structure?

A. As Mr. Dieckamp has previously indicated, the new structure is designed to have a single group of officers

[ and key corporate staff manage both Pennsylvania based i

operating companies in the GPU system under the new names of Pennsylvania Electric Company-East ("Penelec-East") and Pennsylvania Electric Company-West ("Penelec-West").

While the companies will have common officers and

() directors, they will be completely distinct corporate entities

i 1

for all purposes, including accounting, financings and rate

() filings. Penelec-East and Penelec-West will obviously be treated separately and individually in the consideration of the appropriate timing and amounts of future rate requests 4

before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission ("PUC")

and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC").

Similarly, each of the companies will stand alone in the determination of the amount, timing and terms of their respective securities issuances.

Q. Please describe the payroll accounting methods you intend to utilize for the combined management personnel.

A. Each of the common officers and key corporate

() staff under the new structure will be' designated as an -,

employee of either Penelec-East or Penelec-West for purposes of payroll administration and will receive compensation and employee benefits solely from that company. When a common i officer or key staff person performs specific work for a particular company, his or her compensation and fringe =

benefits will be charged directly to that company. Present j and future employees will be required to maintain time records specifying for what company or project work was done, and their compensation and associated overheads will be allocated to the specific project and company indicated ~on their records.

Where work performed is not identified with a specific company or project, compensation and overhead costs of each employee will be allocated between Penelec-West and Penelec-East based on the type and nature of the services:

(1) transmission and distribution related costs will be allocated on the basis of the gross electric transmission and distribution plant of the two companies at the end of the preceding calendar year; (2) energy sales or customer service related charges will be allocated on the basis of energy sales (MWH) to ultimate customers during the preceding calendar year; (3) non-nuclear generating capacity charges

)

(other than generating stations jointly owned by more--

than one utility) will be allocated on the basis of the respective ratios of the non-nuclear generation capa-bility (MW) owned by the two companies at the end of the preceding calendar year (exclusive of generation stations jointly owned by more than one utilityl; and (4) operation and maintenance charges will be l

allocated on the basis of the respective ratios of payroll and other operation and maintenance expenses (excluding fuel, purchased power, net interchange, joint stations and nuclear costs) of the two companies during the pre-ceding calendar year;

() If none of the above ratios is applicable, the allocation will be made based on the average of the four i

above ratios for the preceding calendar year.

(b) A summary statement of the operation during that month of the Working Fund, showing beginning balance, receipts, disbursements and closing l balance. I 5.2 The costs incurred or accrued from all sources durin,g each calendar month in repairing, modifying, rehabili-l tating, operating, maintaining and making additions to and retirements from the Station shall become i liabilities of the Owners when incurred or accrued and shall be borne by the Owners in proportion to their l undivided interests in the Station. All such costs lll shall be determined in accordance with sound accounting l l \

practices, and shall include reasonable and appropriate O

 \/            indirect costs including overheads. In particular, all of the services rendered hereunder by GPUNC will be at actual cost thereof. Direct charges will be made for services where a direct allocation of cost is possible.

The methods of determining such costs and the alloca-tion thereof are set forth in Appendix A hereto. These methods shall be reviewed annually and more frequently,

       .      if appropriate. Such methods may be modified or changed by GPUNC, with the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission, without the necessity of an amendment of this Agreement provided that in each instance all services rendered hereunder will be at

() actual cost thereof, fairly and equitably allocated, . -. s and all in accordance with the requirements of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and the rules and regulations and orders thereunder.

 /~%         be separately levied and assessed against each Cuner.

U However, to the extent that such taxes may be levied L

on or assessed against the S tation, or its operat, ion, or the owners in such a manner as, in the opinion of O the owners, to make impossible or inequitable the carrying out of said intent, then such taxes shall be deemed a part of the costs of operating and main-taining the Station and shall be apportioned among the owners under this Agreement in accordance with their respective percentages of ownership. 5.4 The Owners shall have the right, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as the books, records and memoranda referred to'in Section 2.1 shall be preserved, to inspect all such items and to make reasonable audits thereof at their own cost as they may deem necessary to protect their interests. 5.5 In the event an Owner shall question any statement rendered according to the provisions of Section 5.1 hereof, it shall nevertheless promptly pay the amount l indicated in such statement but such payment shall not l be deemed to prevent such Owner from claiming an adjustment of any statement rendered. l 5.6 If it shall be determined that an Owner has paid more 1 l or less than its proper share of the operating and l capital costs of the Station for the month covered by l l such statement, an appropriate correction shall be made 1 l by GPUNC by proper credit or charge, as the case may be. O I

t . l . . l p ARTICLE 6 V Metering, Relaying and Control 6.1 The net power generated by Unit No. 1 shall be deter-mined by metering the power output at the high side of the 19-230kV step-up transformer minus the power metered on each of the two Unit service transformers (Nos. 1A and 1B) at the 230kV bus. 6.2 The net power generated by Unit No. 2 shall be deter-mined by metering the power output at the high side of the 22-500kV step-up transformer minus the power metered en each of the two Unit service transformers (Nos. 2A and 28) at the 230kV bus. () 6.3 The 500kV power delivery shall be the power generated _, by Unit No. 2 determined by metering the power output at the high side of the 22-500kV step-up transformer. This value is provided to Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Interconnection (PJM) for determination of 500kV losses and system security analysis. 6.4 The accuracy of the metering equipment installed , to provide information under Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 above shall be in accordance with GPU Meter Standards. The merers so provided shall be tested and calibrated according to schedules arranged by GPUNC at intervals not to exceed twelve months. Adequate notice of such () tests shall be given, if requested, to the Owners so that they may have representation present to witness them. Correction of inaccuracies found to exist in any

Appendix A i () Determination of Cost of Service and Allocation thereof I Cost of service will be determined in accordance with the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 and the rules and regulations and orders thereunder, and will include all j costs of doing business incurred by GPUt:C. Records will be maintained for each Department and Division of GPUt!C in order to accumulate all costs of doing business and to determine the cost of service. These costs will include wages and salaries of employees and related expenses such as insurance, taxes, pensions and other employee welfare expenses, end rent or other applicable cost of facility utilization, including but not limited to light, heat, telephone, supplies, and other housekeeping costs. In addition, records will be m61ntained of general administrative expenses, which will include the costs of operating GPUNC as a corporate entity. , Where appropriate, charges for services of personnel rendered and related expenses and non-personnel expenses (e.g., use of automotive equipment, etc.) will be billed ' directly to the Owners in accordance with their respective interests in the Station. This will include the charges for services of GPUNC personnel assigned exclusively to the Station and, for other personnel, charges deternined in accordance with the aggregate nuclear steam generating capa-cities of the conpanies contracting with GPU::C.

i i O Charges for services will be determined, where appro-priate, from the time sheets of employees (other than some secretaries, clerical and similar employees, the cost of whose services will be treated as a part of general adminis-trative expenses). Records of such related expenses and" general administrative expenses will be maintained and subjected to periodic review. Out-of-pocket expenses which are incurred for the owners will be billed at cost. Charges for non-personnel expenses, such as for use of automobiles not assigned exclusively to the Station, will normally be computed on the basis of costs per mile. ggg 1 s O

  • Senior Vice President Metropolitan Edison Company 100 Interpace Parkway' Parsippany, New Jersey 07054

Dear Mr. Arnold:

The Comission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 58 to Facility Operating License No. DpR-50 for Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit No. 1 (TMI-1). This amendment consists of changes to the Tech-nical Specifications in response to your application submitted by letters da.ted August 7, (TLL 366) and 28, (TLL 417) 1980. This amendment revises Figure 6-1 of the Technical Specifications per-mitting the establishment of the General Public Utilities Nuclear Group (GpVNG) through which the ope' rating and management responsibility for THI-1 will be implemented for the Metropolitan Edison Company (lie *. Ed). -O This amendment also. revises the plant staff organization. . The added notes in Figure 6-1 show positions having responsibilities and authorities equivalent to those positions set forth throughout the administrative section of the Technical Specifications (Section 6). - These modifications combine the nuclear experienced management and technical staffs from within the GpU Service Corporation, Met Ed and Jersey Central Power and Light. Minor modifications to Figur'e 6-1 may be necessary when Section 6 of the Technical Specifications is revised. Our approval of this amendment is limited to it,s acceptability for the current shutdown state of the reactor. Therefore, approval of this amendment does not connote that the changes made are sufficient for' reactor operation. The Staff's review of the issues raised by the Comission in its August 9,1979 and March 6,1980 Orders regarding management capability of the licensee has not been completed. Moreover, the issue of the licensee's management capauility is the subject of ' litigation in the TMI-i restart proceeding. The Staff's findings regarding the management capability of the licensee contained in this ,

                                                                                                                      ^-

Mr. R. C. Arnold < G safety evaluation are thus subject to modification should the Staff's review or tne Comission's findings in the restart proceeding necessitate such a change.

u - - . mm COMBINED MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT Dated as of July 1,1980 ) Between Metropolitan Edison Company (" Met-Ed") and Pennsylvania Electric Company ("Penelec") l l WHEREAS, in o'rder to achieve more efficient management, improved customer service, cost savings and heightened emphasis on conservation and load management, Met-Ed and Penelee have agreed that the management of the two companies should be combined, while continuing the separate corporate entity of each ocepany and the dedication of its . existing and future investments and associated costs to the customers in its existing service areas. NOW, THEREFORE, Met-Ed and Penelec agree as - follows:

1. It is the intent of Met-Ed and Penelec that the respective Boards of Directors as well as the Corporate Officers of Met-Ed and Penelec shall bc identical.

(

2. The corporate charterc of Met-Ed and Penelec ,

shall be amended so that the corporate name of Met-Ed shall be " Pennsylvania Electric Company - East" and the corporate i name of Penelee shall be " Pennsylvania Electric Company - West". I

?#

O

3. For payroll administration purposes, any present or future employee of Met-Ed or Penelec who shall O perform services for both companies shall be designated as an employee of only one company and, during his period of employment by that company, shall receive compensation and employee benefits solely from that company. Such present and future employees shall keep time records and their compensation and associated overheads shall be allocated to the specific project and company or companies shown on such eine records. Where the work performed is not identified with a specific project or company, the compensation and associated overheads of each such employee shall be allo-cated between Met-Ed and Penelec as follows:

(a) If the work performed is associated with transmission and distribution functions, such allocations shall be on the basis of the respective ratios of the gross electric transmission and distri-bution plant of Met-Ed and Penelee as at the end of the preceding calendar year: 1 l For example, for the year 1980, the l l allocation factor will be 43.0% to Met-Ed and 57.0% to Penelec, based on the gross transmission and distri-l bution plant investment of Met-Ed of $500,359,632 and of Penelee of $664,208,366. O 1

, , ~3-(b) If the work performed is associated with energy sales or customer services, such alloca-tion shall be on the basis of the energy sales (MW) to ultimate customers during the preceding calendar year.

                                 ' For example, for the year 1980, the allocation factor will be 42.3% to Met-Ed and 57.7%

to Penelec on the basis of 1979 energy sales.(MWH) of 7,602,301 of Met-Ed and 10,380,572 of Penelec. (c) If the work performed is associated , with non-nuclear generating capability (summer rating) (other than generating stations jointly owned by more than one utility, to which separate allocations shall be made), such allocation shall be based on the respec-tive ratios of the non-nuclear generating capability (in MW) (excluding the generating stations jointly owned

               .by more than one utility) owned by Met-Ed and Penelec at the end of the preceding calendar year.
                                 .For example, for the year 1980, the     ,

allocation factor will be 42.9% to Met-Ed and 57.1% to Penelec, based on the 1979 non-nuclear generating capability (in MW)~ owned by Met-Ed of 920 and of Penelec of 1226, after excluding the shares of the generating capacity in Conemaugh owned by Met-Ed and in Ho=er City and Seneca owned by Penelec.

(d) If the work performed is associated with operation and maintenance expense, such allocation shall be based on the respective ratios of the payroll and other operation and maintenance expense (excluding fuel, purchased power, net interchange, joint stations and nuclear costs) of Mec-Ed and Penelec during the preceding calendar year. . For example, for the year 1980, the allocation factor will be 39.5% to Met-Ed and 60.5% to Penelec, based on the 1979 payroll and other operation and maintenance expenses (excluding fuel, purchased power, net interchange, joint stations and nuclear costs) of Met-Ed of $56,989,541 and of Penelee of

              $87,161,264.                                         .       -,

(e) If none of the above ratios is appro-priate,. such allocation shall be based on the average of the four foregoing ratios for the preceding calendar year. For example. for the year 1980, the e allocation factor will be 41.9% to Met-Ed and 58.1% to Penelec.

4. Laplementation of this Agreement will require i

I certain regulatory authorizations from t ime to time . Met-Ed and Penelee will cooperate in the filing of such documents O

from time to time as may be necessary to seek such regula-tory authorizations. If, with resp t to any particular action provided for in this Agreement, prior regulatory authorization for such action is required, such action will

                                .not be taken unless and until such authorization shall have been obtained.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written. p g 1.' '! : ,

Dear Mr. Dial:

On September 23, 1980, the Bureau of Audits, Theodore Barry & Associates and General Public Utilities reviewed the final report of the Management and Operations Study.

     !             At that time,. senior manage =ent of GPU accepted the strategic recommendations of the report. -

We have formally documented our response in the attached l I Company Implementation Plan which su=marizes action required, _, status and completion date. We propose to submit progress reports as required. While fully accepting the study recc=mendations, we note that the costs to attain the potential benefits can be sub-stantial, including, "... external assistance, management time for development and implementation of new procedures and on-going maintenance expense." Cash constraints and business needs will require flexibility to adjust priorities periodically to conform with resource availability. The Company is convinced that audit reviews and investigations '

          .        are not only desirable but produce valuable findings.                                        We believe they also demonstrate that GPU is open for inspection I             and the company continues to make pcsitive progress to improve effectiveness.
