services that support both distribution customers and
supplier of last resort customers, the commission shall
require an appropriate proportion of those indirect costs be
allocated to supplier of last resort. For the purpose of this

does not file a rate case within three years following the
effective date of this paragraph, the commission may order

accomplished. After the initial allocation, changes shall be
permitted only in a general rate case. If the commission

mandatory schedule for the filing information and the
