275 agreement with a customer for more than 2 years if associated
276 charges will not be sufficient to cover the associated
277 proportional costs.

279 provisions for reconciling charges to comport with actual costs
280 and use.
281 (i) Exercise technical and fiscal prudence in determining

304 state agency’s objectives are to be undertaken or to remove from
305 the control and administration of the state agency the
306 responsibility for working with the agency to implement
