1. The carrying charge must be debited or credited to the subaccount of FERC Account No. 182.3 or to FERC Account No. 254, whichever is applicable, at the rate of one-twelfth of the overall rate of the return which was last authorized by the Commission for the particular department or division of the utility, adjusted for federal income tax applicable to the equity component of the overall rate of return computed at the applicable statutory rate.
