<br />the PEG Fee may be increased annually by the CPI. During calendar year 2002,
<br />an estimated PEG Fee shall continue to be prepaid to the Commission on a
<br />quarterly basis, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of each
<br />calendar quarter. The estimated PEG Fee shall be reconciled annually to reflect
<br />actual PEG Fee receipts by the Grantee, subject to more frequent reconciliation
<br />ordered by the Commission. Any amounts due to the Commission as a result of a
<br />reconciliation shall be paid by the Grantee to the Commission within thirty (30)

<br />first 2,500 feet of construction and installation. The Grantee shall not take any
<br />action pursuant to this paragraph until notified, in writing, by the Commission of
