____ Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Bureau
of Transportation and Safety v. Westmoreland
Aerosports, Inc., t/a A Sky Limousine;
Doc. No. C-2010-2087754COMPLAINT The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) is a duly constituted agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania empowered to regulate public utilities within the Commonwealth. The Commission has delegated its authority to initiate proceedings which are prosecutory in nature to the Bureau of Transportation and Safety and other bureaus with enforcement responsibilities. Pursuant to that delegated authority and Section 701 of the Public Utility Code, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby represents as follows:
1. That Westmoreland Aerosports, Inc., t/a A Sky Limousine, respondent, maintains its principal place of business at 4039 Benden Circle, Murrysville, Westmoreland County, PA 15668.
2. That respondent was issued a certificate of public convenience by this Commission on May 17, 2004, at Application Docket No. A-00120542 for group and party 11—15 authority.
3. Pursuant to 66 Pa.C.S. § 506, duly authorized officers of the PA Public Utility Commission have the power and authority to inspect, inquire, and investigate all property, records, books, papers, accounts, and documents, of any public utility, whenever necessary, in carrying out their duties.
4. On June 1, 9, 17, 25, and July 1, 2009, Enforcement Officer Andrew Rosenberger, of the Pittsburgh District Office, attempted to contact respondent by telephone to schedule its annual inspection of its vehicles. Each attempt was unsuccessful and each time Officer Rosenberger left a voice mail message. On July 20, 2009, Officer Rosenberger visited respondent's place of business and left a typed message advising respondent to contact the Pittsburgh District Office to schedule its annual inspection. On July 22, 2009, the Pittsburgh District Office sent a certified letter to the respondent advising them to make their group and party vehicles available for inspection on July 30, 2009, at 9:30 a.m. On July 30, 2009, Officer Rosenberger arrived at 4039 Benden Circle, Murrysville, at 9:00 a.m. The respondent did not arrive and Officer Rosenberger left at 10:00 a.m. The certified letter sent by the Pittsburgh District Office on July 22, 2009, was returned ''unclaimed'' on August 11, 2009. A certified letter dated November 10, 2009 was sent to carrier advising carrier that its annual inspection of limousines was scheduled for November 30, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. The letter also advised the carrier that penalties would be imposed, including cancellation of its certificate of public convenience, if the carrier did not cooperate with its inspection. The November 10, 2009 certified letter was served on November 30, 2009. On November 30, 2009, Officer Rosenberger arrived at the carrier's place of business and waited until 3:30 p.m. and then left because the carrier did not arrive. As of this date, the respondent has not contacted the Pittsburgh District Office to schedule its annual inspection and has not cooperated with the Commission in aid of its inspection of its group and party 11—15 operations.
5. That respondent, by failing to cooperate with an officer's continuous attempt to inspect its transportation operation, violated 66 Pa.C.S. § 505. The penalty is $500.00 per day, with a maximum penalty of $10,000.00 for one month, for a total penalty of $10,000.00.
Wherefore, the Bureau of Transportation and Safety Prosecutory Staff hereby requests that the Commission fine Westmoreland Aerosports, Inc., t/a A Sky Limousine the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), for the illegal activity described in this complaint, and order such other remedy as the Commission may deem to be appropriate.
