On discontinuation, the entity eliminates from its balance sheet all regulatory assets and liabilities that entities in general could not recognize, but does not adjust the carrying amounts of plant, equipment, and inventory unless impaired under Subtopic 360-10. The net adjustment goes to income of the period of discontinuation, classified separately within income from continuing operations as an unusual or infrequently occurring item.","concepts":["discontinuation of rate-regulated accounting","regulatory assets and liabilities","separable portion of operations","deregulation","cost-based rate-making","unusual or infrequently

On discontinuation, the entity eliminates from its balance sheet all regulatory assets and liabilities that entities in general could not recognize, but does not adjust the carrying amounts of plant, equipment, and inventory unless impaired under Subtopic 360-10. The net adjustment goes to income of the period of discontinuation, classified separately within income from continuing operations as an unusual or infrequently occurring item.","key_points":["An entity must discontinue applying Topic 980 to operations in a regulatory jurisdiction (or to a separable portion, such as a customer class) that no longer meet the criteria of 980-10-15-2; discontinuation for a separable portion creates a rebuttable presumption that Topic 980 should be discontinued for all operations in that jurisdiction (980-20-40-1).","Upon discontinuation the entity eliminates the effects of regulator actions recognized as assets and liabilities that entities in general would not recognize, and the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of 360-10 apply except for the income statement reporting in 360-10-45-4 and 360-10-50-2 (980-20-40-2).","Carrying amounts of plant, equipment, and inventory are not adjusted unless impaired, judged in the same manner as for entities in general (980-20-35-2; 980-20-40-2; 980-20-40-4).","Amounts included in or netted against plant, equipment, or inventory that entities in general could not include — other than allowance for funds used during construction, intra-entity profit, and disallowances of recently completed plant costs (e.g., postconstruction operating costs capitalized under 980-340-25-1, or cumulative depreciation differences) — must be separated and accounted for as effects of regulator actions (980-20-35-3 through 35-5; 980-20-40-3).","The net effect of the required adjustments is included in income of the period of discontinuation and classified separately in income from continuing operations as an unusual or infrequently occurring item (980-20-40-4).","Under the source-of-cash-flow approach, regulatory assets and liabilities originating in the deregulated separable portion are not eliminated if deregulatory legislation or a rate order provides regulated cash flows from a still-regulated separable portion; they are carried in that other portion until recovered/settled, individually impaired or eliminated by the regulator, or that portion ceases to meet 980-10-15-2 (980-20-35-6 through 35-9).","Disclosure: the entity must disclose the reasons for discontinuation and identify the affected portion of operations (980-20-50-1), apply Subtopic 220-20 disclosures to the net adjustment (980-20-50-2), and segregate amounts relating to the deregulated separable portion by display or note (980-20-45-1)."],"categories":["Industry-specific","Derecognition","Impairment","Disclosure"],"audience_level":"intermediate","student_note":"The classic exam trap is assuming discontinuation writes down everything: regulatory assets/liabilities are eliminated, but plant, equipment, and inventory keep their Topic 980 carrying amounts (including AFUDC) unless separately impaired under 360-10.
