GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Take-or-Pay Recovery
Pipeline shall submit an invoice to any such
Customer as part of the final bill. Customer
shall remit payment in full within 30 days of
receipt of invoice or, at Customer's option,
Customer shall furnish Pipeline with a
promissory note for its allocated share of
Pipeline's total unpaid allocated principal
amount. The promissory note shall require
payment within the amortization period
prescribed herein together with interest.
B. Take-or-Pay Usage Surcharge. Fifty percent of all
take-or-pay costs paid or incurred by Pipeline will
be recovered from Customers through a Take-or-Pay
Usage Surcharge applied to all quantities
transported by Pipeline pursuant to its
transportation rate schedules, and all quantities
injected into storage by Pipeline pursuant to its
storage service rate schedules.
1. Calculation of the Take-or-Pay Usage
Surcharge. In each filing to recover
take-or-pay costs, Pipeline shall calculate
the Take-or-Pay Usage Surcharge for the first
12 months of the respective amortization
period by dividing fifty percent of the total
amount of take-or-pay costs by three, adding
interest for the first 12 months of the
amortization period and then dividing by
Pipeline's total transportation and storage
service injection quantities. In subsequent
12-month periods of the amortization period,
the Take-or-Pay Usage Surcharge shall be
adjusted for changes in interest rates.
At the end of each 12 months of the
amortization period, Pipeline shall compare
interest amounts collected from each Customer
to actual interest amounts calculated at the
Commission-approved interest rates. Any
overcollections (or undercollections) of
interest will be credited (or surcharged) to
Customer's first monthly invoice rendered
after the end of each 12 months of the
amortization period.
