(b) Amounts included in the Bridging Amortization Account shall be based on the forecast Revenue Requirement and billing determinants used to initially establish the fixed tolls for the period January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2020, as provided for in Appendix A and Appendix B, subject to any adjustment necessary pursuant to subsection 13.2(b).
