  (1) if an agency has existed for only the two most recent plan years of the weighted three-year rolling average period, then the most recent completed plan year shall constitute 60% of the total for the weighted factors and the next most recent plan year shall constitute 40% of the total for the weighted factors;

  (2) if an agency has existed for only the most recent plan year of the weighted three-year rolling average period, then the most recent completed plan year shall constitute 100% of the total for the weighted factors; and

  (3) the assessment for an agency that was not in existence during any of the plan years of the weighted three-year rolling average period shall be calculated using that agency's current or projected payroll and FTEs, as reported by the agency, and the agency's actual claims costs, if any.
