please provide a detailed narative explaiation and workpapers for the reductions

Response to Monsanto Data Request 7.1
Please refer to Attachment Monsanto 7.1. Jurisdictional loads are adjusted on
page 10.13 in order to properly reflect the impact of special contracts and demand
side management programs consistent with the Revised Protocol allocation
methodology. Treatment of special contract loads is prescribed in Appendix D of
the Revised Protocol. Demand side management programs are defined as State
Resources according to the Revised Protocol, and the reduced consumption
resulting from such programs is to be reflected in the load based allocation
factors.
