41. DISCOUNTING POLICY
41.1 Any Shipper desiring a discount of the maximum recourse rates for
service under Transporter's rate schedules must submit a valid
request for such discount pursuant to the procedures of this
Section 41. To be considered a valid request, Shipper must
complete and submit a request for discount via the LINK® System,
specifically including the information for all mandatory fields.
Upon receipt of a valid request for a discount, Transporter will
log such request and either deny or grant such request.
41.2 Order of Discounts. Transporter may, from time to time,
selectively adjust any or all of the rates charged to any
individual Shipper for service under Part 284 of the Commission's
regulations for which maximum and minimum rates are stated in this
FERC Gas Tariff. Discounting of rates and charges shall, however,
be done in the following order:

41.3 In the event that Transporter agrees to discount its maximum rates
under any of its Open-access rate schedules, Transporter and
Shipper may agree to the types of discounts specified herein
without such discounts constituting a material deviation from
Transporter's pro forma service agreement. Transporter and
Shipper may agree that a specified discounted rate will apply: (i)
only to specified quantities under the service agreement; (ii)
only if specified quantities are achieved or only with respect to
quantities below a specified level; (iii) only during specified
periods of the Year or for a specifically defined period; (iv)
only to specified points, combination of points, markets,
transportation paths or other defined geographic area(s); (v) only
in a specified relationship to the quantities actually delivered
(i.e., that the reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified
relationship to quantities actually delivered); (vi) so that the
applicable rate may be adjusted in the following manner: when one
rate component, which was equal to or within the applicable
maximum and minimum recourse rates at the time Shipper received
the Discount Confirmation pursuant to Section 41.5 below
specifying the terms of the discount, subsequently exceeds the
applicable maximum recourse rate or is below the applicable
minimum recourse rate, so that such rate component must be
adjusted downward or upward to equal the new applicable maximum or
minimum recourse rate, then other rate components may be adjusted
upward or downward to achieve the agreed-upon overall rate, so
long as none of the resulting rate components exceed the maximum
recourse rate or are below the minimum recourse rate applicable to
the rate component (such changes to rate components shall be
applied prospectively,
