You will receive notice in accordance with the Commission's requirements when we are requesting the Commission to take action which could cause a change in the terms of this contract."
C. Contracts--Filing: All special contracts dealing with Rates, Rules, or Forms shall be maintained by the utility and made available to Commission staff upon request.
