If such form submitted by a multi-jurisdictional electric utility does not indicate Texas-specific numbers, the electric utility shall also prepare, and file with the commission, a form indicating Texas-specific numbers, in the same format and based on the numbers contained in the form previously filed with local, state or federal governmental agencies.

(c) Any additional information relating to the matters described in this section may be submitted at the electric utility's option.
(d) Any electric utility filing with the commission any documents described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section shall file four copies of such documents with the commission's filing clerk under the project number assigned by the Public Utility Commission's Central Records Office for that year's filings. Utilities shall obtain the project number by contacting Central Records.
