NOTES:
1 The NRC formulas in section 10 CFR 50.75(c) include only those decommissioning costs incurred by licensees to remove a facility or site safely from service and reduce residual radioactivity to levels that permit: (1) release of the property for unrestricted use and termination of the license; or (2) release of the property under restricted conditions and termination of the license. The cost of dismantling or demolishing non-radiological systems and structures is not included in the NRC decommissioning cost estimates. The costs of managing and storing spent fuel on-site until transfer to DOE are not included in the cost formulas.
2 This number is based on NUREG-1 307, Rev. 10, for the burial factor (Option 2) and the December 2003 values for labor and energy factors.

- through participation in an integrated transmission system agreement with other utilities.
Such percentage shall be determined by the Authority by dividing the average of the one-hour integrated coincident system demands for Bulk Power Supply provided by'the Authority to such Participant during each month of such Power Supply Year by the average of the one-hour integrated coincident system demands of total Bulk Power Supply provided by the Au-
- thority to all of the Participants durin'g each month of such Power Supply Year and ecpressing the result at a percentage so that, when all of such Entitlement Shares so computed by the Authority are added together, their sum shall be one hundred. For the purposes of such com-putation, the one-hour interval shall be the hour during which there shall occur the maximum one-hour integrated coincident system demands of total Bulk Power Supply provided by the
'Authority to all of the Participants.
(b) In the event the Authority assumes responsibility for transmission of the Partici-pants' allotments of SEPA power pursuant to arrangements for which provision is made in Sections 803 and 804 hereof, and such responsibility results in an increase in the investment in and annual operating costs of such transmission system facilities, the Entitlement Share for each Participant to be determined by the Authority for each Power Supply Year shall be the percentage allocable to the Participant of the transmissioni services provided by the Au-14
thority and of the costs incurred by the Authority relating to such increased responisibility.
Such percentage shall be determined by the Authority by dividing the average of the one-hour integrated coincident system demands of such SEPA power plus the demands of Bulk Power Supply provided by the Authority to such Participant during each month of such Power Sup-ply Year by the average one-hour integrated coincident system demands of SEPA power and demands of total Bulk Power Supply provided by the Authority to all of the Participants during the same one-hour interval of eachrmonth of such Power Supply Year and expressing the re-sult as a percentage so that, when all of such Entitlement Shares so computed by the Authority are added together, their sum shall be one hundred. For the purposes of such computation, the one-hour interval shall be the hour during which there shall occur the maximum one-hour inte-grated coincident system demands of SEPA power and demands of total Bulk Power Supply provided by the Authority to all of the Participants.
(c) Such Entitlement Shares of transmission system facilities included in the Project shall be estimated by the Authority prior to the beginning of any Power Supply Year and such estimates shall be set forth in the Annual System Budget. Revisions of such estimated Entitlement-Shares shall be made by the Authority at the end of such Poiver Supply Year based upon such system demands as actually experienced and the billings for such Power Sup-ply Year shall be adjusted by the Authority accordingly.
