GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
35. RETAINAGE
35.1 In General. Retainage, as defined at Section 1 of the General Terms
and Conditions, shall apply to Rate Schedules FT-1, FT-2, HT-1, BH-1 and IT-1
(the Applicable Rate Schedules). The amount of such Retainage shall be
determined based upon the Retainage percentage, as set forth at Sheet No. 7
of this Tariff, which sheet includes the following Retainage percentage:
Transportation Retainage (hereinafter the "Retainage percentage").
Transporter may file to adjust the Retainage percentage on an annual basis or
at such other times as Transporter in its reasonable discretion determines
necessary based upon operating or other conditions, to take into account both
prospective changes in Retainage requirements and unrecovered Retainage
quantities from the preceding period for transportation. That Retainage
adjustment shall be effected by means of a Retainage Adjustment Mechanism
filing ("RAM"), which shall be filed with the Commission (i) annually on or
before March 1 to become effective April 1 ("Annual RAM Filing"), and (ii) at
such other times as required by operating or other conditions, to become
effective 30 days after filing ("Periodic RAM Filing").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, where it is determined that
transportation service is rendered entirely by backhaul or displacement, the
Backhaul Retainage percentage, as set forth at Sheet No. 6 of this Tariff,
shall apply in lieu of the otherwise applicable Retainage percentage. The
Backhaul Retainage percentage shall be calculated in the Annual RAM Filings,
and any Periodic RAM Filings, and shall not include compressor fuel.
35.2 Transporter's RAM Filing. Annually, or at such other times as
Transporter in its reasonable discretion determines necessary based upon
operating or other conditions, Transporter shall adjust the Retainage
percentages, to take into account both prospective changes in Retainage
requirements and unrecovered Retainage quantities from the preceding period
as described at Section 35.4 below for transportation. That Retainage
adjustment shall be effected by means of a Retainage Adjustment Mechanism
filing (RAM), which shall be filed with the Commission (i) annually on or
before March 1 to become effective April 1 (Annual RAM Filing), and (ii) at
such other times as required by operating or other conditions, to become
effective 30 days after filing (Periodic RAM Filing).

over recovered company-use, lost and unaccounted-for quantities in Account
No. 186.
35.4 Retainage Percentage. The two Retainage percentages, as adjusted by

Percentage, calculated in the following manner for each of the Retainage
percentages, respectively:
