GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
such as GRI and ACA charges, and the projected incremental volumes expected
to be transported. Overthrust will consider volumes to be incremental if the
volumes that will be transported would not otherwise flow through
Overthrust's system.
25.4 The economic value of a project shall be determined using the
discounted cash flow rate of return methodology. The minimum acceptable rate
of return may be published from time to time on Questline and/or on
Overthrust's web page.
When the present value of the incremental revenues from the
project is greater than the present value of the incremental cost of service,
Overthrust will pay for the cost of the contemplated facilities. When the
present value of the incremental revenues from the project is less than the
present value of the incremental cost of service, Shipper shall pay for the
cost of the contemplated facilities.
25.5 Shipper's payment for the cost of the new facility shall include
the full cost of the facility, the tax burden created by the payment as well
as the tax-on-tax effect generated by such payment. Reimbursement for
federal income taxes on Shipper's payment will be computed by first
determining the tax-on-tax effect, and then deducting the present value of
the future tax benefit provided by the future depreciation of plant involved
in the payment for the cost of the new facility.
The tax-on-tax effect will be determined by the product of (a) the
dollar amount qualifying as a contribution in aid of construction under the
Tax Reform Act of 1986 and (b) the "tax rate" divided by 1 minus the tax
rate:
i.e., [(Tax Rate) / (1-Tax Rate)]
The present value of the tax benefit provided by the future
depreciation of plant shall be determined by Overthrust.
25.6 When Overthrust has previously paid for receipt or delivery point
facilities under this facilities-reimbursement policy, Shipper shall,
nevertheless, promptly pay Overthrust for Overthrust's net book value of such
facilities when either of the following events occur: (a) when Overthrust's
ability to fully recover such costs is denied in any Section 4 or Section 5
rate proceeding, or (b)
