Income Taxes Associated with Gross-Up of Taxable Advances - This is another instance in which GSWC conceded that its direct showing was insufficient. After DRA recommended that the amounts requested by the company should be disallowed for lack of supporting calculations, GSWC furnished workpapers along with its rebuttal testimony. DRA agrees that the amounts shown in the rebuttal testimony and workpapers are consistent with the governing authority, Method 5 in D.87-09-026, and the parties have agreed to substitute these amounts in place of the requests in GSWC's direct case, with no credits for Region II: $3,550,646 in 2006; $3,339,173 in 2007; and $3,250,726 in 2008. The company also agrees that in future rate cases, it will "provide computational support and a narrative describing the application of Method 5 to GSWC's computational approach." (ΒΆ 2.18.)
