The Company shall recover incremental costs related to the Company's Customer Assistance Program (CAP) through a CAP charge rider ("CAP Charge"). In addition to the charges provided in this Tariff, an amount shall be added to the otherwise applicable charge for each kilowatthour distributed during a billing month for all residential Customers served under Rate Schedules R, RRS, RWT, RTU, RRTU, and CWH, or successor rate schedules, as provided below: CAP Charge S/kWh The CAP Charge shall apply to all residential customers whether they are receiving generation service from the Company or not, and shall be subject to the Tax Adjustment Surcharge. The CAP Charge shall not apply to residential Customers enrolled in the Company's CAP. 31-b Calculation. The CAP Charge shall be determined as follows: 1. For up to 400 CAP participants, calculate the CAP shortfall (the difference between the total residential sales service rate and the CAP rate based upon the current discounts at normalized annual volumes of the then-current CAP participants) in excess of $201 per CAP participant (but in no event shall this amount be less than zero); and 2. For existing CAP participants in excess of 400, calculate the total CAP shortfall; and 3. Calculate the total CAP participant application costs; and 4. To the extent there are more than 400 CAP participants, calculate one-half of the CAP shortfall for the projected customer additions to CAP during the period that the CAP Rider Charge will be in effect at the average discount of current CAP participants at weathernormalized annual volumes, and 5. Divide the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to paragraphs 1 through 5 by the total annual projected kwh sales volumes of all residential non-cap customers. Divide this amount by one minus the Pennsylvania gross receipts rate as reflected in the Company's base rates to determine the volumetric rate for the CAP Charge. * ' 31-c The CAP Charge shall be adjusted quarterly. Each quarter, the Company shall recalculate the CAP Charge rate, pursuant to the calculation described above, to reflect the Company's current data for the components used in the CAP rate calculation. The Company shall file the updated rate with the Commission to be effective one (1) day after the filing. 31-d Annual Reconciliation. On or before November 1, the Company shall file with the Commission, data showing the reconciliation of the actual revenues received under the Rider and the actual recoverable costs incurred for the preceding 12 months ending September 30.
