  1. Identify the criteria, with example scenarios, that the companies will use to determine whether the proposed discount will be offered to a given customer.
  2. Provide the companies’ views as to whether the criteria provided in response to question 1 above should be outlined in the companies’ tariffs. If the response is that the criteria should not be outlined in the tariff, explain why not.
