4 REGULATION AND RATE INCREASES ItFGt'LATION The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Power Commission, under the Federal Power Act, as to certain activities including wholesale rates for electric energy sold in interstate commerce. The Company is also subject to the jurisdiction of the Public Service Commission of the State of Minnesota
..ad the Public Service Commission of the State of North Dakota as to certain activities including rates for . .
retail sales within those states and the issuance of certain securities. The Company is presently not subject to regulation by the State of South Dakota as to rates or the issuance of securities,but the Company's retail rates are subject to the jurisdiction of certain municipalities in South Dakota. However, under legislation effective July 1,1975, the Company's operations in South Dakota will be subject to regulation by the Public Utilities Commission of the Sta:es of South Dakota. The Wisconsin Company is subject to regulation by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin. In 1974 the State of Minnesota enacted a law authorizing the Public Service Commission to regulate electric and gas utilities effective January 1,1975. Among other things, the new law covers the setting of rates, quality of service, regulation of accounting, issuance of securities, and the ultimate designation of service terri-tories. A billis under consideration in the Minnesota Legislature which would amend various provisions of the Public Utilities Act including the existing provisions entitling a public utility to put interim rates into efTect 30 days af ter filing and requiring the Commission to make a final determinatien within 9 months on an application for changes in rates. The Company is unable to predict whether any such proposed changes will be enacted into law, or if enacted, the content of any legislation. ItATE INCILEASES In 1974 electne and gas rate increases were put into effect, which increased revenues by approxiraately
$48 million in 1974 and an estimated 568 million on an annual basis. These rate increases were approved by various regulatory bodies where required. Seasonal rates (higher summer rates) were part of the electric in-crease program.
For 1975, NSP has requested additional electric rate increases of $74.6 million on an annual basis. The following shows the status of the 1975 rate increase program. 1975 Electric Rate lucrease Program Annual tnerean requested (millions of dollaran Statun Minnesota . $ 59.1 Effective 2/3/75 on an interim basis.

i in accordance with the Public Utilities Act, the Company filed for the above increase in electric rates with
.a s 3 the public Service Commission of the State of hiinnesota on January 2,1975 and put the rates into effect as interim rates subject to refund for service rendered on and after February 3,1975. Hearings on this rate in-j crease have been set for early June. Various municipalities and other groups have filed or are expected to file J for intersention. Under the Act, if the Commission does not make a final determination concerning the rates r within a pc.iod of nine months beyond February 3,1975, the rates shall be deemed to have been approved by the Commission.
i l DEPRECIATION POLICIES l1 DEPitECIATION FOlt COltPollATE PL'ItPOSES l The annual presision for depreciation has been compated by the straight line method based upon esti-mated useful lives of the various classes of property. For the hiinnesota Company, the depreciation rates are established by management and are subjected to annual study and review. Effectise January 1,1975, depre-ciation rates for the Minnesota Company will be subject to approval by the Public Service Commission of the State of Minnesota. For the Wisconsin Company, the rates are subjected to the same general review and are
;, aho certified by the Public Sersice Commission of Wisconsin. The annual depreciation for 1974 increased by 4
approximately $12.1 million over 1973. This increase in depreciation was primarily due to property additions. No significant changes in rates were made because of the annual resiew. During the past five years the composite depreciation rate in percent of depreciable property has it. creased from 2.9% to 3.59. This reflects the changing characteristics of the business and property as indicated by the continual surveillance of depreciation rates. The annual depreciation expense shown on page 2 and 3 of this report includes amounts for the income tat etlect of the additional depreciation due to using liberalized depreciation for income tax purposes for the Wiscon.in Company. The tax eficct of the amount due to liberalized depreciation has been excluded in the computatie of the composite depreciation rates shown above and on page 1. DEPitECIATION FOlt INCO31E TAX PL'ItPOSES The Company and its subsidiatics have used liberalized depreciation since January 1,1962 and since 1971 hase used the new Class Life (ADR) systems m computing depreciation for income tax purposes. This reduced federal and state income taxes by $33.0 million in 1974 and 524 A million in 1973. The reduction in income taxes since 1962 due to using liberalized depreciation procedures has totaled nearly $109 million. This inclu'ics 1 additional income tax reductions of about 52.4 million due to the 60 month amortization allowable for pollu-tion control facilities. Deferred accounting has been used and therefore the tax reductions have been ofIset by deferred charges in the income statements with the deferred amounts for the Wisconsin Company being re-corded as depreciation expense. Accelerated amortization of the cost of certain properties during the 3 ears 1952-1960 resulted in income tax deferrals aggregating $9.3 million. The unamortized balance of the accumulated deferrals is being credited to income over sueeceding 3 cars at $346.000 per year. This annual amortization will continue at this level until 1984, decreasing each year thereafter until 1987. INVEST 31ENT TAX CI! EDIT
@ The insestment tax credits allowed under the Revenue Act of 1962 and the Revenue Act of 1971 reduce u
l the federal income taxes otherwise payable by $7.9 million in 1974 and 510.7 million in 1973. For the 3G investment tax credit under the Revenue Act of 1962. the Minnesota Company is amortizing the credit over a 5-year period. For the 4G investment tax credits under the Revenue Act of 1971, the Minne-sota Company and the Wisconsin Company use deferred accounting procedures and restore the credits to in-come ratably over the estimated life of the property. Under these methods net income was increased by $1.3 million in 1974 and $1.2 million in 1973. 9
