(g) NORMALIZATION REQUIREMENTS. (1) IN
GENERAL.A
normalization method of
accounting shall not be treated as being used with respect to any public utility property for purposes of section 167 or 168 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 if the taxpayer, in computing its cost of service for ratemaking purposes and reflecting operating results in its regulated books of account, reduces the excess tax reserve more rapidly or to a greater extent than such reserve would be reduced under the average rate assumption method.

(3) DEFINITIONS.For purposes of this subsection (A) EXCESS
TAX RESERVE.The
term
excess tax reserve means the excess of (i) the reserve for deferred taxes (as described in section 168(i)(9)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of this Act), over (ii) the amount which would be the balance in such reserve if the amount of such reserve were determined by assuming that the corporate rate reductions provided

OD.The RATE ASSUMPTION METH-
average rate assumption method is
the method under which the excess in the reserve for deferred taxes is reduced over the remaining lives of the property as used in its regulated books of account which gave rise to the reserve for deferred taxes. Under such method, if timing differences for the property reverse, the amount of the adjustment to the reserve for the deferred taxes is calculated by multiplying (i) the ratio of the aggregate deferred taxes for the property to the aggregate timing differences for the property as of the beginning of the period in question, by (ii) the amount of the timing differences which reverse during such period. (C) ALTERNATIVE
METHOD.The
alter-
native method is the method in which the taxpayer (i) computes the excess tax reserve on all public utility property included in the plant account on the basis of the weighted

350 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 average life or composite rate used to compute depreciation for regulatory purposes, and (ii) reduces the excess tax reserve ratably over the remaining regulatory life of the property. (4) TAX
LATION. INCREASED FOR NORMALIZATION VIO-
If, for any taxable year ending after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the taxpayer does not use a normalization method of accounting, the taxpayers tax for the taxable year shall be increased by the amount by which it reduces its excess tax reserve more rapidly than permitted under a normalization method of accounting.
