3.3 Production Area Charges: In addition to the applicable
charges set forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above, if the
natural gas received at the Receipt Point(s) receives any
production area services, Shipper shall pay El Paso an amount
determined as the maximum charge for "Dehydration,"
"Purification," and/or "Products Extraction," unless otherwise
provided, as set forth on Sheet No. 23 of this Volume No. 1-A
Tariff, or superseding tariff, multiplied by the quantity of
natural gas receiving such service(s). The quantity of
natural gas to which these charges shall apply is determined
at the end of the field transportation system, or the products
extraction plant inlet, when applicable. All volumes
receiving production area services in the Jal Plant Complex
(consisting of El Paso's Jal Plants, the Sid Richardson Plant,
the Warren Eunice Plant, the Warren Monument Plant and the
Texaco Eunice Plant) shall pay the applicable production area
charge specified herein for any services received,
irrespective of which plant provides such service, plus a
pro rata share of any charge, whether in cash or in-kind,
assessed by a third-party plant operator in the Jal Complex.
Such production area charges shall not apply if a Shipper
provides to El Paso, fifteen (15) days before initial
deliveries of natural gas under an executed Transportation
Service Agreement and thereafter fifteen (15) days before each
annual anniversary date of such initial deliveries, the
results from tests conducted within the previous thirty (30)
days by an independent testing firm demonstrating that the gas
is in conformance ("conformance gas") with El Paso's quality
specifications set forth in Section 5.1 of the Transportation
General Terms and Conditions contained in this Volume No. 1-A
Tariff. Shipper may have subsequent tests conducted anytime
after its gas fails the annual conformance test. In the event
the results of such test proves conformance with the
applicable quality specifications of El Paso's tariff and are
provided to El Paso fifteen (15) days prior to the first day
of any calendar month, then production area charges shall not
apply effective the first day of the following calendar month
after El Paso receives such notice. Additionally, if the
purification and/or products extraction charge(s) are
applicable but such test results demonstrate that the gas is
being dehydrated to conform to said Section 5.1, then no
dehydration charge shall apply. However, if El Paso, through
