The Transportation Balancing Fee will be included in Shipper's
regular bill for transportation services, and will be subject to all
payment and collection requirements applicable to that bill. All
Transportation Balancing Fees assessed by Transporter to any Shipper
who is an affiliate of Transporter during any quarter of a calendar
year shall be directly refunded to each Shipper under Rate Schedule FT
or EFT who was not assessed a Transportation Balancing Fee during that
quarter (a "Balanced Shipper"), based on each Balanced Shipper's MDTQ
under Rate Schedules FT and EFT as a percentage of the total such
MDTQs of all Balanced Shippers. Such refunds shall be made within 45
days of the close of each quarter, and may be done by a credit against
any amounts due from that Shipper.
To avoid collection of more than one Transportation Balancing Fee
on a single month's imbalance, Transporter shall apply the following
principles, in a nondiscriminatory manner, in computing the Transpor-
tation Balancing Fee:
(a) The Transportation Balancing Fee shall be applicable to a Shipper
for an activity month only if that Shipper has made a binding
election, pursuant to Section 13.9 hereof, to resolve imbalances
"in kind."
(b) The Transportation Balancing Fee shall be calculated only on the
amount by which the current Monthly Shipper Imbalance worsens
that Shipper's Cumulative Monthly Imbalance.
(c) Monthly Imbalances which correct Cumulative Monthly Imbalances in
part or in full, or which do not cause the Cumulative Monthly
Imbalance to exceed one MITL, shall not result in any Transpor-
tation Balancing Fee;
