  1 18 first instance, be determined by the electric utility,
  1 19 which shall make a monthly report of such credits to
  1 20 the Iowa utilities board and the department, deducting
  1 21 this credit from the periodic deposits of taxes due
  1 22 under this division.  If the department disputes the

  1 24 resolved by the Iowa utilities board.""
