c. Shippers shall have the right to challenge Transporter's
HMRE Surcharge filings only with respect to: (1) whether
the expenditures included are Qualifying HMRE Expenditures;
(2) whether the Qualifying HMRE Expenditures were prudently
incurred; and (3) whether the HMRE Surcharge is properly
calculated.
27.4 CALCULATION OF THE HMRE SURCHARGE -
a. Transporter shall establish and maintain an HMRE Deferred
Cost Account with its initial balance equal to the sum of
the Qualifying HMRE Expenditures for the twelve-month
period ending September 30, 2007. For each billing month
thereafter and to ensure a true-up of the Qualifying HMRE
Expenditures, the HMRE Deferred Cost Account shall be (1)
debited by the actual Qualifying HMRE Expenditures incurred
after September 30, 2007, (2) credited by the HMRE
Surcharge amounts collected by Transporter, and (3) debited
or credited, as appropriate, by the carrying charges on the
balance in the HMRE Deferred Cost Account, calculated in
accord with Section 154.501 of the Commission's
Regulations.
b. Any capital costs that are Qualifying HMRE Expenditures
shall be recovered as expenses through the HMRE Deferred
Cost Account without any associated return (other than
carrying charges as provided for in Section 27.4.a above),
depreciation or taxes.
c. The subsequent HMRE Surcharges, to be effective January 1
of each year, shall equal (1) the balance in the HMRE
Deferred Cost Account (including carrying charges) as of
the prior September 30, divided by (2) projected
transportation throughput on Transporter's Mainline
Facilities for the period January 1 through December 31.
d. The HMRE Surcharge shall not exceed $0.05 per Dt. However,
the $0.05 per Dt cap will not serve to limit the recovery
of any Qualifying HMRE Expenditures credited to the HMRE
Deferred Cost Account.
