5. RATES AND CHARGES
5.1 Applicable Rates and Charges
The rates and charges for service under this Rate Schedule shall be the
Transportation Rates, and any New Facilities Charge, Incidental Charges,
Authorized Overrun Charges and Imbalance Charges, if applicable, all as
specified in Subsections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 of this Rate Schedule. By
mutual agreement between Company and Shipper, discounts may be limited
consistent with the provisions of Section 27 of the General Terms and
Conditions.
5.2 Transportation Rates
The applicable rates for service under Rate Schedule FT-GS are rates shown on
the effective Summary of Rates and Charges; provided, however, Company has the
right at any time and from time to time to adjust the rates applicable to any
service upon notice to Shipper to any level not less than the minimum nor more
than the maximum rates established for this Rate Schedule and set forth on the
effective Summary of Rates and Charges.
In the event Company and Shipper agree to establish a fixed rate to be charged
for the duration of the transportation service, said rate will be set forth in
the applicable FT-GS Agreement. Company shall file with the Commission the
required reports of any adjustment below the maximum rates for service under
this Rate Schedule.
5.3 New Facilities Charge
In addition to the charges pursuant to Subsection 5.2 of this Rate Schedule,
Company may charge Shipper an amount to recoup some or the entire cost
(including income tax effects resulting from such reimbursement) of facilities
constructed at the Shipper's request in order to provide transportation service
under this Rate Schedule. Company shall not use the amounts so collected (as
either costs or revenues) in establishing its general system rates. Shipper
shall pay the New Facilities Charge by lump sum payment based upon Company's
estimated cost prior to any construction activity, unless otherwise mutually
agreed.
Company will construct only those facilities to render transportation services
hereunder that interconnect with facilities that either cross or are
immediately adjacent to Company's existing facilities; provided, however,
Company shall not construct facilities hereunder that will result in the
expansion or diminishment of Company's mainline capacity or that compromise the
operational integrity of Company's pipeline system. Company will own and
operate all facilities constructed.
