__________________
(a) On December 20, 2016, the ICC granted ComEd's and other parties' joint application for rehearing on the impact that changing ComEd’s OSHA recordable rate for 2014 and 2015 has on the revenue requirement approved in this order. ComEd has proposed that the 2016 total electric distribution revenue requirement be reduced by $18 million which would be refunded to customers in 2017.
(b) Includes a reduction of 5 basis points for a reliability performance metric penalty.
