Conclusion

We find that the Settlement Agreement with the recommended clarifications meets the requirements of Rule 12.1(d) and we adopt the Settlement with the clarifications described in the clarifications section of the decision, including the specific clarifications provided in Appendices B and C. The clarifications in no way materially alter the process established by Settling Parties and do not address issues integral to the Settlement, but instead streamline the process to make it consistent with current RA allocation and accounting practices (Appendix B) or provide definitional clarity to the Settlement Agreement (Appendix C).
