Facts And Circumstances Test
 
Explanation
Line 2: Beginning with the redesigned 2008 Form 990, EPRI is reporting its membership dues as gross receipts. These payments are made in connection with the performance of tax exempt scientific research in the public interest, which by definition also incidentally benefits EPRI members who may in certain circumstances have a direct and immediate benefit from such research. The research results may also in certain circumstances have a more direct benefit to the EPRI members than to the general public contemplated within Treasury Regulation Section 1.509(a)-3(g)(2). Line 12: Other income includes income from previously published scientific research reports and software available for sale to the general public and income from related scientific research activities conducted by EPRI in the public interest.

Travel for Companions: EPRI recognizes exceptional employee achievement through an annual award program. EPRI officers and award winners may be reimbursed for companion travel for one guest to attend the annual award ceremony. The travel reimbursement is reported on the employees' Form W-2 as taxable income as required and reported on Schedule J, Part II, Column B, Part iii. Gross-Up Payments: EPRI provides a gross up related to the taxes payable on the additional taxable income reported for the reimbursement of companion travel to attend the annual award ceremony.

(b) Class II (1) Any investor-owned person, firm or corporation which is engaged to a substantial degree in the production, transmission or distribution of electric power for public use within the United States, or any person controlling such person, firm, corporation or other entity; (2) Any person, firm, corporation, or other entity which is engaged to a substantial degree within the United States in the production or sale of electric power and which is not regulated as a public utility, or any person controlling such person, firm or corporation. (c) Class III Any non-United States government agency or person, firm, corporation or other entity regulated as a utility, which is engaged to a substantial degree in the production, transmission or distribution of electric power for public use outside the United States. Line 7a: In 2011, the members of EPRI's Board of Directors were elected and appointed as follows: Class I members may elect seven members of the Board.

Class III members may elect four members of the Board. The EPRI Advisory Council may appoint six members of the Board. Line 7b: Members have the power to amend the articles of incorporation and may have other powers conferred by the Nonprofit Corporation Code of the District of Columbia. Line 11b: An external tax firm and EPRI staff work together to gather the required tax information necessary to complete the tax return. The tax firm prepares an initial draft return and reviews the initial draft return with the finance and legal management team; items are discussed and reviewed. Recommended changes are reflected in the return and a draft tax return is prepared. The draft tax return is presented to the Audit Committee for their review and a copy is provided through a secure link to the Board of Directors. The audit committee may question EPRI management and the external tax firm or ask for clarification on any item on the return. After the Committee has reviewed the tax return, the return is filed with the appropriate governing tax authorities. Line 12c: EPRI requires all employees to complete an annual statement disclosing any conflicts of interest and they have a requirement to update the disclosure on an ongoing basis. Line 15a and 15b: Officers' compensation decisions are determined by the Compensation and Benefits Committee of EPRI's Board of Directors, with the exception of determination of compensation levels for the CEO and new officers, which are usually determined by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committees obtain and act in reliance upon appropriate comparability and benchmarking data for the officer positions from a nationally recognized independent source to support determinations of fair market value for the services rendered. The Committees vote on officer compensation at their meetings and documents the approval in the minutes. Line 16b: As defined by the Form 990 instructions, a joint venture or similar arrangement (or a "venture or arrangement") means any joint ownership or contractual arrangement through which there is an agreement to jointly undertake a specific business enterprise, investment, or exempt-purpose activity without regard to (1) whether the organization controls the venture or arrangement, (2) the legal structure of the venture or arrangement. EPRI performs services work and other unrelated business activities and reports that work as unrelated business income for appropriate tax treatment. Particular care is taken in structuring business arrangements such as commercialization transactions, strategic alliances, service centers, and other similar arrangements, including obtaining advice early in the process, in order to protect EPRI's tax-exempt status and minimize liability. Line 19: EPRI makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and audited financial statements for the past 3 years available to the public through its own website. Reconciliation of Net Assets Form 990, Part XI Line 5: The other change in net assets or fund balance is an unrealized loss of $570.
