36. DISCOUNT POLICY
36.1 GTN may from time to time offer a discount from the maximum
applicable rate for service under any service agreement governed by
this FERC Gas Tariff. If and when GTN offers a discount, such
discount shall be applied to the base tariff rate.
36.2 Types Of Discounts
From time to time, GTN and Shipper may agree in writing on a level of
discount of the otherwise applicable rates and charges in addition to a
basic discount from the maximum rates. For example, GTN may provide a
specific discount rate based on:
(a) achievement of a specified quantity levels (including quantity
levels above, below, or equal to a specified level);
(b) specified time periods;
(c) specified points of receipt, points of delivery, supply areas,
defined geographic areas; or transportation paths;
(d) a specified relationship to the quantities actually transported
(i.e., that the rates shall be adjusted in a specified
relationship to the quantities actually transported); or
(e) published index prices for specific receipt and/or delivery points
or other agreed-upon published pricing reference points for price
determination (such discounted rate may be based upon the
differential between published index prices or arrived at by
formula). Such discounted rate: (1) shall not change the
underlying rate design; (2) shall not include any minimum bill or
minimum take provision that has the effect of guaranteeing
revenue; and (3) shall, in each service agreement entered into
pursuant to Section 36.2(e), define the rate component(s) to be
discounted.
In all circumstances the discounted rate shall be between the maximum
rate and the minimum rate applicable to the service provided.
