(b) EPCA Surcharge. In each Annual EPCA Filing, Transporter shall calculate, and allocate to the
applicable Rate Schedules or services covered by that particular EPCA Rate on an as-billed basis and in a manner
consistent with Transporter's currently effective cost allocation and rate design, the EPCA Surcharge by
subtracting from the Electric Power Costs actually incurred by Transporter during the preceding calendar year
the amount collected by Transporter during that period under the particular EPCA Rate and dividing the
difference, whether positive or negative, by the estimated design determinants under all of the applicable Rate
Schedules or services covered by that particular EPCA Rate for the 12-month period commencing on the effective
date of that Annual EPCA Filing. The following is an example of the calculation of an LNG EPCA Surcharge and
