GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
19.9 Penalty Crediting Mechanism.
(a) The purpose of this provision is to provide the mechanism by which Transporter shall credit
any "Penalty Revenues," as defined herein, to "Non-Penalized Shippers."
(b) For purposes of this Section 19.6 the following definitions shall apply:
(i) The term "Penalty Revenues" shall mean penalty amounts assessed and actually
collected, net of Transporter's costs, during each month of a contract year (November 1 to October 31),
pursuant to the penalty provisions of this Tariff; exclusive of (A) Transporter’s actual gas, transportation
and retainage costs for the replenishment of gas quantities with respect to PAL Rate Schedule Section 5(b) and
IMS Rate Schedule Section 5(c), and (B) overrun charges imposed pursuant to the terms of any of Transporter's
Rate Schedules.
(ii) The term "Non-Penalized Shippers" shall mean Shippers, other than Shippers that were
assessed penalties during any month of a contract year (November 1 to October 31) pursuant to the penalty
provisions of this Tariff, under all of Transporter's Rate Schedules, except the AS-Gulf and IPP-Gulf Rate
Schedules.
(c) At the end of the contract year, Transporter shall calculate the amount of Penalty Revenues
for each month of the preceding contract year. Transporter will include interest on the Penalty Revenues
balance at the rate specified in the Commission’s Regulations at Section 154.501(d)(1). Transporter shall
allocate such Penalty Revenues for that month to the Non-Penalized Shippers based on their actual throughput
for that month and in the case of service under Rate Schedule PAL, Transporter shall allocate such Penalty
Revenues based on Non-Penalized Shipper’s PAL service agreement account balance for that month. Transporter
shall credit the bills of Non-Penalized Shippers that are the original capacity holders (and not Assignees
under Section 14 (Release and Assignment of Service Rights) of the General Terms and Conditions) for such
allocated amounts within 60 days of the end of the contract year.
(d) Transporter will file a report within 60 days of the close of the contract year showing the
Penalty Revenues, the costs netted against the Penalty Revenues, and the resulting Penalty Revenue credits
for each month of the contract year (November 1 to October 31). The report will (1) identify Transporter’s
incremental out-of-pocket costs that were caused by Shipper misconduct and the Shipper misconduct that
caused the costs; (2) account separately for these costs; and (3) provide supporting documentation of the
costs and the Shipper misconduct that caused them.
