4.17(a) Discounted Rates (Continued)
8) that provides for increasing (or decreasing) a
discounted rate for service under one rate schedule to
make up for a decrease (or increase) in the rate for a
separate service provided under another rate schedule;
9) where the rate provision incorporates a mutually
agreeable marketing fee pursuant to Section 9.15;
and/or
10) that includes a provision that if one rate component,
which was at or below the applicable maximum rate at
the time the discount agreement was executed,
subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum rate or is
less than the applicable minimum rate due to a change
in Transporter's maximum (minimum) rates so that such
rate component must be adjusted downward (upward) to
equal the new applicable maximum (minimum) rate, then
other rate components may be adjusted upward
(downward) to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long
as none of the resulting rate components exceed the
maximum rate or are less than the minimum rate
applicable to that rate component. Such changes to
rate components shall be applied prospectively,
commencing with the date a Commission order accepts
revised tariff provisions. Nothing contained herein
shall be construed to alter a refund obligation under
applicable law for any period during which rates that
had been charged under a discount agreement exceeded
rates which ultimately are found to be just and
reasonable.
(b) Comparable Discounts: If Transporter agrees to provide its
affiliate with marketing function employees a discount for any
pipeline service, Transporter shall make such discounted rate
contemporaneously available to similarly situated unaffiliated
Shippers.
(c) In the event Transporter discounts the total rate under Shipper's
firm or interruptible TSA, it will discount the components of such
total rate in the following order: 1) reservation charge, if
applicable, and 2) PIP Surcharge.
(i) The minimum usage charge and the ACA Surcharge (pursuant to
Section 17.1) are not discountable rate components.
