PUBLIC NOTICE
The Wyoming Public Service Commission (Commission) has
given Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (MDU) authority to pass on to
its customers through its Commodity Balancing Account (CBA) a
decrease in its wholesale natural gas commodity of $0.477 per dekat-
herin (Dth) to its Residential, Firm General Service, and Small and
Large Interruptible customers, and a decrease of $0.892 per Dth for
Seasonal customers through its CBA, effective on and after May 1,
2014. The proposed pass-on decreases for all classes of customers
are attributable to a projected wholesale gas cost decrease to $5.958
per Dth. The proposed change in rates is subject to notice, protest,
intervention, refund, opportunity for hearing and such other orders
as the Commission may deem appropriate.
The average Residential, and Firm General Service customers

bills will vary with usage.
The proposed retail rate decreases result in a projected dol-
lar-for-dollar decrease in the Company's May 2014 total revenues of
approximately $51,516 using projected sales volumes. The decreas-
es do not change the Company's authorized rate of return.
Under Commission Rule §§ 249 and 250 a utility may apply to
