1. First, calculate the average monthly staffing level (in hours worked) necessary to handle 100 percent of customer volume of telephone calls, emails, or other electronic communications originating in New Jersey or an account with a service address in New Jersey over the immediately preceding six-month period, by doing the following:
i. Tabulate the total hours worked for each of the six months during the six-month period;
