30.1 Negotiated Rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

contained in this Tariff, Equitrans may charge a negotiated rate

for service under any Part 284 Rate Schedule to any Customer that

currently receives service at the rates set forth in the

Equitrans' maximum applicable tariff rate is available as a

rate components may exceed the maximum charge, or may

be less than the minimum charge, for such components in some
