(2) The basic standard, plus a percentage reduction of the shelter standard, shall be used when there are one or more persons residing in the home who are not included in the assistance plan, except as specified in paragraphs (b)(1) (B), (C), and (D). The percentage reduction shall be as follows:

(A) 60% reduction for one person in the plan;
