(2) In compiling the required schedules,
				additional instructions are set forth below:
(a) Each Section of this form must be indexed
				and tabbed, including a table of contents listing the page numbers of each
				schedule.
(b) If information
				requested in the form described above is not applicable to the applicant, so
				state and provide an explanation on the specific schedule.
(c) If a projected test year is used, provide
				a complete set of Commission Form PSC 1028 (12/20) for Class A utilities, PSC
				1029 (12/20) for Class B utilities, or PSC 1030 (12/20) for Class C utilities
				(as described above), which require a designation of historical or projected
				information. Such schedules must be submitted for the historical base year, and
				any year subsequent to the base year and prior to the projected test year, in
				addition to the projected test year. If no designation is shown on a schedule,
				submit that schedule for the test year only. In lieu of providing separate
				pages for the above required schedules, the information required can be
				combined on the same page by adding additional columns. In the rate base
				schedules, Section A, the beginning and end of year balances must be shown. For
				any intermediate period or year, only the year-end balance must be shown. A
				schedule must also be included which describes in detail all methods and bases
				of projection, explaining the justification for each method or basis employed.
				If an historical test year is used, Schedule E-13 is not required.
(d) If a petition for interim rates is filed,
				a utility must demonstrate that it is earning outside the range of
				reasonableness on rate of return calculated in accordance with Section
				 367.082(5),
				F.S. To demonstrate this, the utility must submit schedules of rate base, cost
				of capital and net operating income on an historical basis, with schedules of
				all adjustments thereto, consistent with Commission Form PSC 1028 (12/20) for a
				Class A utility, PSC 1029 (12/20) for a Class B utility, or PSC 1030 (12/20)
				for a Class C utility (described above).
