In the TCI 2004 SIP Tracking Report, dated 31 March 2005, Attachment A, pages 1-7, TCI proposed to draw down the following amounts from its deferral account over the period of 2003-2006 to recover its SIP costs in non-HCSAs:

 

Year

Phase II Cost from the 2004 cost study

EOS Adjustment from the 2004 cost study

Incremental Phase II Cost from the 2005 cost study

Incremental EOS Adjustment from the 2005 cost study

a) Provide the company's view of a cost recovery plan which would entail drawing down from the company's deferral account the annual equivalent costs associated with the Phase II costs excluding the end of study (EOS) adjustment; that is, $1.74 million in 2004 and $2.08 million in 2005 and subsequent years.

b) If the change noted in part a) above results in changes to the Phase II cost study, provide a revised Phase II cost study and the resulting amount to be drawn down on an annual ongoing basis, supported by detailed rationale.
