in respect to each corporation or business entity
required by the Federal Communications Commission

a uniform system of accounts prescribed by such
Commission, the intrastate net in come shall be
determined separately in the manner provided by

In any case where the apportionment of the three factors

employed to any appreciable extent in furtherance of the enterpr ise;
or because one or more factors not so prescribed are employed to a
considerable extent in furtherance of the enterprise; or because of
other reasons, the Tax Commission is empowered to permit, after a

insufficient portion of net income has been attributed to Oklahoma,
the elimination, substitution, or use of additional factors, or
reduction or increase in the weight of such p rescribed factors.
Provided, however, that any such variance from such prescr ibed
factors which has the effect of increasing the portion of net income
attributable to Oklahoma must not be inherently arbitrary, and
application of the recomputed final appor tionment to the net income
of the enterprise must attribute to Oklahoma only a reasonable
portion thereof.
6. For calendar years 1997 and 1998, the owner of a new or
expanded agricultural commodity processing facility in this state
