unrecovered costs contained in Eastern

Shore’s Account No. 191. The portion of

unrecovered costs that relate to demand

particular customer’s contract demand

quantity under Eastern Shore’s former

implementation of open access on

Eastern Shore’s system. The portion of

unrecovered costs that relate to

commodity shall be allocated on the

commodity purchases under Eastern

Shore’s former CD–1 or CD–E rate
