any statement herein. I give permission for my utility companies to provide my billing and usage
information to the state of Utah and to local HEAT/Water agencies to determine eligibility. I hereby
authorize HEAT/Water program officials to make inquiry of persons, companies, financial
institutions, and other state and federal agencies to assist in the processing of my application. I
understand that if I do not provide the necessary information to establish my eligibility within 10
days from this date that my application may be denied. I further understand that if federal
HEAT/Water funds are exhausted prior to processing this application, the State of Utah is under no
obligation to make payment. I understand that if my application is denied or if the local office has
failed to act upon my application within 45 days, I have the right to request a Fair Hearing. I verify
that, if eligible, I would like to receive the Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) HELP discount program
