GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(1) Qualifying Transportation Costs. As used in this Section 29, the term Qualifying
Transportation Costs shall mean the fixed monthly charges and commodity costs
which Transporter incurs for the transmission and compression of gas by others
recorded in FERC Account No. 858, for service set forth on Schedule I-4 of the rate
case filed by Transporter on November 1, 1993, as adjusted by compliance filing
dated April 7, 1994. Qualifying Transportation Costs shall include the costs of any
contract amendments and contract replacements. Qualifying Transportation Costs
shall also include the costs of Northern Natural Gas Company transportation capacity
used to deliver Dakota volumes to the extent such capacity costs are no longer
recovered pursuant to Section 28.1(c) of these General Terms and Conditions.
Qualifying Transportation Costs shall exclude: (a) Viking Transportation Costs and
(b) the amortization of any Reverse Auction costs included on the Schedule I-4
referenced above and (c) any costs or credits for periods prior to the effectiveness of
the rates set forth in Transporter's general rate case filing of November 1, 1993. This
Section shall not be construed to affect Transporter's right to recover transition costs
as Transporter may incur in connection with its contracts with other pipelines
providing transmission and compression services or otherwise, such rights being
expressly reserved, subject to applicable Commission orders and regulations.
(2) Effective Date. Transporter shall file to place into effect on each May 1, beginning
with May 1, 1995, a Deferred Transportation Cost Adjustment, provided, however,
that such filings shall only be required to be made by Transporter to the extent that
the level of Qualifying Transportation Costs varies by greater than ten percent (10%)
from the level of such costs as of the effective date of the rates established by
Transporter's settlement at Docket No. RP94-43-000; provided, further, that in the
event that any Account No. 858 service provider increases or decreases its aggregate
charges to Transporter by such ten percent (10%) level in any twelve (12) Month
period, and subsequently refunds or surcharges any portion of those amounts,
Transporter shall then credit or direct bill the refunded or surcharged amount, as the
case may be, to shippers. Further, no change shall be made under the provisions
hereof to any Rate Schedule unless the change in rates for such Rate Schedule is at
least one cent per dth of MDQ for Reservation charges, or at least one mill for
Commodity Charges. The change in commodity rates shall be computed to the
nearest 1/100th of one cent. In the event any such change is precluded by law from
going into effect on such date, it shall be made effective as soon thereafter as
permitted by law.
