GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
31. NEGOTIATED RATES
31.1 Applicability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this tariff, Overthrust may charge a negotiated rate for service under any
rate schedule contained in this tariff to any Shipper that has access to
service at the rates set forth in the applicable rate schedule as shown on
the effective Statement of Rates (recourse rates), and agrees to pay the
negotiated rate.
31.2 Negotiated Rate. A negotiated rate shall mean a rate for service
where one or more of the individual rate components exceed the maximum
charge, or are less than the minimum charge for such components. This shall
include a rate derived by a formula where one or more of the individual rate
components may exceed the maximum charge, or may be less than the minimum
charge.
31.3 Conditions. Implementation of a negotiated rate shall be subject
to the following conditions:
(a) Overthrust may, at its option, require that shippers making
negotiated-rate bids or negotiated-rate requests for any available capacity
first have an existing executed Part 284 service agreement prior to
implementing negotiated rates. Overthrust and any Shipper with a Part 284
service agreement, except a Shipper using capacity acquired under a capacity-
release arrangement, may mutually agree to convert that service agreement to
a service agreement subject to negotiated rates. If only a portion of the
capacity under any service agreement will be priced at Negotiated Rates, the
original service agreement must first be bifurcated, and recourse rates will
continue to apply to the service agreement not subject to the Negotiated
Rates.
(b) Shipper had access to service pursuant to this FERC Gas
Tariff at the rates set forth on the Statement of Rates at the time of the
execution of the transportation service agreement implementing negotiated
rates.
(c) Overthrust has filed a tariff sheet advising the Commission
of such agreement. The numbered tariff sheet will state the exact legal name
of the Shipper, the negotiated rate, other applicable charges, the receipt
and delivery points, the volume of gas to be transported and the applicable
rate schedule for service provided at a negotiated rate. The tariff sheet
will include a statement affirming that the negotiated-rate agreement does
not deviate in any material
