GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
47.7 Assessing Negotiated Rate Bids for Available Firm Capacity. For
purposes of assessing bids for available firm capacity pursuant to General
Terms and Conditions Section 4, the net Present Value of Negotiated Rate
bids containing a reservation rate or other form of revenue guarantee which
exceeds the applicable Recourse Rate during all or any portion of the term
contained in the bid, shall not exceed the net Present Value that is
calculated assuming that the applicable Recourse Rate is in effect during
the full term contained in the bid, in place of the reservation rate or
other revenue guarantee contained in the bid.
47.8 Rate Treatment. Transporter shall have the right to seek in future
general rate proceedings discount-type adjustments in the design of its
rates related to Negotiated Rate agreements that were converted from pre-
existing discount agreements to Negotiated Rate agreements, provided that
the type of pre-existing service is not altered as a result of the
conversion to a Negotiated Rate. In those situations, Transporter may seek
a discount-type adjustment based upon the greater of: (a) the Negotiated
Rate revenues received or (b) the discounted rate revenues which otherwise
would have been received.
47.9 Negotiated Rate Surcharge and Retainage Components. If Transporter
negotiates surcharge or retainage percentage rate components at lower than
the maximum rate level for those components as part of a Negotiated Rate
arrangement, it will assume any under-recovery of costs or retainage from
negotiated shippers in order to ensure that its recourse Shippers are not
better or worse off due to Negotiated Rate arrangements with individual
Shippers. To accomplish this, Transporter will credit full recourse rate
surcharge and retainage amounts to the appropriate surcharge and retainage
accounts.
47.10 Relationship to Section 20 of the General Terms and Conditions. If
Transporter negotiates specific surcharge components of its rates, rather
than total rates, as part of a Negotiated Rate arrangement, the attribution
policy in Section 20 of the General Terms and Conditions shall not apply.
