			 Except as otherwise provided by subsection 3, all amounts incurred in carrying
			 out the provisions of NAC 704.800 to 704.876, inclusive, must be treated as
			 current operating expenses of the utility and may be recovered as follows:
(a) Such expenses must be deferred by making
			 appropriate credits to Accounts 908 and 909 and debiting FERC Account
			 186.
(b) Appropriate deferred
			 income tax amounts must be calculated and recorded by debiting FERC Account
			 410.1 and crediting FERC Account 283. Separate subaccounts for such amounts
			 must be maintained.
(c) The
			 Commission will establish a monthly base cost at the time of each general rate
			 case. The monthly base cost will be calculated by dividing such expenses by
			 12.
(d) Each month the utility must
			 compare the amount of the base cost with the actual amount of such expenses
			 incurred in the month. If the actual charges are greater than the base cost,
			 the difference must be credited in separate subaccounts in Accounts 908 and
			 909, and a debit in the same amount must be recorded in a separate subaccount
			 in Account 186, Other Deferred Debits. If the actual charges are less than the
			 base cost, the difference must be recorded as a debit in those subaccounts in
			 Accounts 908 and 909, and a credit in the same amount must be recorded in the
			 subaccount in Account 186.
(e) Any
			 accumulated debit or credit balance in the subaccount in Account 186 must be
			 cleared once each year through an amortization charge or credit to be paid or
			 received by each of the utility's customers.
(f) Prior approval of the amount to be
			 amortized must be obtained from the Commission. A petition for such an approval
			 may be filed concurrently with an application for a Deferred Energy Accounting
			 Adjustment or a Purchased Gas Adjustment.
(g) Each petition for such an approval must
			 include the appropriate rate for amortization, based on cents per kilowatt-hour
			 or cents per therm and based upon recorded sales in the test year. In addition,
			 the petition must be accompanied by an exhibit showing the derivation of the
			 rate and a summary of any entries made to Account 186 for such
			 expenses.
