(a) The Public Utilities Regulatory Authority shall, on or before December thirty-first, annually, furnish to each public service company, except community antenna television companies, duplicate blank report forms, which may be in such format as the authority prescribes or the same blank report forms required by the Interstate Commerce Commission or its successor agency, the Federal Communications Commission or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Any company which does not receive the forms by said date shall request the authority to furnish the forms. Each such company shall return one report form with all questions fully answered to the authority not later than the following May thirty-first or, where the authority has authorized an accounting period other than December thirty-first, the company shall return its completed form no later than one hundred fifty days following the close of the company’s accounting period. The authority may, for good cause shown, grant an extension of such deadline of up to sixty days, provided the company desiring an extension files a request in writing setting forth the reasons for such request. All such reports shall be for the year ending on December thirty-first, or such other annual accounting period as the authority may authorize. Each such company shall make such reports strictly according to the forms provided. If the company finds it impracticable to answer all the items in detail as required, it shall state in its report the reasons why such details cannot be given, but no such company shall be excused from giving such details for the reason that it does not keep its accounts in such manner as will enable it to do so.
