facility:

    (A) No sooner than one year after the facility's initial designation;

    (B) No sooner than one year after the facility's subsequent designation; or

    (C) Upon addition or retirement of any such on-site power production facility being used to serve the customer's load.

  (6) Reporting requirements. Persons owning or operating new on-site generation or eligible on-site generation shall submit the information required by §25.105 of this title (relating to Registration and Reporting by Power Marketers, Exempt Wholesale Generators, and Qualifying Facilities). Those persons shall also comply with procedures and reporting requirements described in the transmission and distribution utility's tariffs related to the assignment and collection of the CTC from eligible and new on-site generation and any other commission rule or regulation related to the implementation of this section.

  (7) Adjustment to overall CTC. On and after January 1, 2005, the commission will periodically review the overall allocation of the CTC among customers and/or customer classes to incorporate the loss of contribution due to customers taking advantage of the specific statutorily granted exceptions under this section and adjust the charges prospectively. To the extent these are known and measurable at the time of the April 2000 filing, sufficient information shall be provided by the filing utility to allow for calculation of the CTC.

(j) Collection and rate design of CTC charges. These charges shall be billed to a customer's retail electric provider. The CTC shall recover the amount of stranded costs as defined in PURA, Chapter 39, Subchapter F that are reasonably projected to exist on the last day of the freeze period. Utilities shall consolidate existing rate classes into the minimum number of classes needed to sufficiently recognize differences in usage of the underlying generation assets. Customers shall be classified into no fewer than the following classes: Residential, Commercial, Firm Industrial, Non-firm, and Back-up Service. No customer classes shall be materially disadvantaged by class consolidation.
