GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(a) Current Retainage Percentage Component. In each Annual and
Periodic RAM Filing, Transporter shall calculate the Current Retainage
Percentage by (i) estimating the total company-use, lost, and unaccounted-for
quantities required during the 12-month period commencing with the effective
date of Transporter's RAM filing (Current Retainage Quantities) and (ii)
dividing that volumetric figure by the total quantities estimated by
Transporter to flow under the Applicable Rate Schedules which are the subject
to that particular retainage percentage during the same 12-month period
commencing with the effective date of the RAM filing (Current Rate Schedule
Quantities).
(b) Unrecovered Retainage Percentage Component. In each Annual RAM
Filing, Transporter shall calculate the Unrecovered Retainage Percentage by:
(i) determining the company-use, lost, and unaccounted- for quantities for the
preceding calendar year (Preceding Annual Period); (ii) subtracting the
Retainage quantities retained by Transporter during that Preceding Annual
Period; and (iii) dividing the result (the Unrecovered Retainage Quantities),
whether positive or negative, by the Current Rate Schedule Quantities for the
12-month period commencing on the effective date of that Annual RAM filing.
(c) In each Annual or Periodic RAM Filing, Transporter shall add
(i) the Current Retainage Percentage established in that filing, as calculated
in accordance with paragraph (a) above, and (ii) the Unrecovered Retainage
Percentage established in the currently effective Annual RAM Filing (whether a
positive figure reflecting an underrecovery or a negative figure reflecting an
overrecovery), as calculated in accordance with paragraph (b) above. The
resulting total Retainage percentage for forward-haul transportation and back-
haul transportation shall be effective until the effective date of
Transporter's next succeeding RAM Filing.
35.5 Termination.
(a) If the provisions of this Section are terminated or otherwise
rendered inapplicable (termination), Shippers under the Applicable Rate
Schedules from the effective date of Transporter's most recent RAM filing
through the date of termination (the Termination Period) shall remain liable
for any Unrecovered Retainage Quantities. Transporter shall remain liable to
such Shippers for any excess quantities retained.
(b) Any positive or negative balance in Transporter's Unrecovered
Retainage Quantities account at the date of termination (i) shall be allocated
to any successor services offered by Transporter, or (ii) if no successor
services are offered by Transporter, shall be charged to Shippers under the
Applicable Rate Schedules based on the actual quantities that flowed during
the Termination Period.
