- The Board invited party comments by October 20, 2010; no comments were received, and Members Dhillon and Doehler issued an order on November 2, 2010 approving the charges without modification (Order dated 2 November 2010).
- The DCRR formula includes a Balance Adjustment (BA) component to reconcile annual differences between billed PCR revenues and actual approved program costs, ensuring full cost recovery on a calendar-year basis.
