For purposes of this section 4, the "Reconciliation Period" shall mean the period from January 1, 2007, through the end of the calendar year prior to the year during which the calculation is made, except that, after each adjustment to decommissioning charges pursuant to section 4(b), the Reconciliation Period shall mean the period from January 1 of the calendar year following the period covered by that adjustment through the end of the calendar year prior to the year during which the calculation is made. Connecticut Yankee shall provide workpapers used to derive its calculations.

If the NDTF investments achieved actual earnings during that Reconciliation Period, after taxes and fees, that fall short of the earnings assumption applicable to that Reconciliation Period by more than $1,000,000.00, then the full amount of such shortfall of actual earnings in comparison to assumed earnings shall be recovered through increased decommissioning charges for the remainder of the period covered by the schedule of charges shown in this Appendix B, starting with the charge for the May following the period for which the calculation is made.
