GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
35. TRANSPORTATION RETAINAGE ADJUSTMENT (TRA)
35.1 In General. Retainage, as defined at Section 1 of the General Terms
and Conditions, shall apply to Rate Schedules FT-1 and IT-1 (the Applicable
Rate Schedules). The amount of such Retainage shall be determined based upon
the Retainage percentage, as set forth at Sheet No. 6 of this Tariff, which
sheet includes the following Retainage percentage: Transportation Retainage
(the "Retainage percentage"). That Retainage percentage shall be adjusted
pursuant to the Retainage adjustment mechanism set forth in this Section.
35.2 Transporter's TRA Filing. Annually, or at such other times as
Transporter in its reasonable discretion determines necessary based upon
operating or other conditions, Transporter shall adjust the Retainage
percentage, to take into account both prospective changes in Retainage
requirements and unrecovered Retainage quantities from the preceding period
as described at Section 35.4 below. That Retainage adjustment shall be
effected by means of Transporter's filing of a Transportation Retainage
Adjustment (TRA), which shall be filed with the Commission (i) annually on or
before March 1 to become effective April 1 (Annual TRA Filing), and (ii) at
such other times as required by operating or other conditions, to become
effective 30 days after filing (Periodic TRA Filing).
35.3 Accounting for Activity. Transporter will account for all under or
over recovered company-use, lost and unaccounted-for quantities in Account
No. 186.
35.4 Retainage Percentage. The Retainage percentage, as adjusted by
Transporter through its TRA filings, shall consist of the sum of (i) the
current Retainage percentage, and (ii) the unrecovered Retainage percentage,
calculated in the following manner:
(a) In each Annual and Periodic TRA Filing, Transporter shall
calculate the current Retainage percentage by (i) estimating the total
company-use, lost, and unaccounted-for quantities required under the
applicable Rate Schedule during the 12-month period commencing with the
effective date of Transporter's TRA filing (Current Retainage Quantities) and
(ii) dividing that amount by the total quantities (excluding off-system
quantities) estimated by Transporter to flow under the Applicable Rate
Schedules during the same 12-month period commencing with the effective date
of the TRA filing (Current Transportation Quantities).
